The name is stitched together from three counties: Washington, Marion and Clinton, all of which the city sits in. Most of Wamac lies in Washington and Marion, with only a small corner in Clinton. Centralia borders it on the north and east, and Route 51 runs just past the east side, north into central Centralia and south toward Du Quoin.
Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of our work in a city this size. Both start with grade and base rather than surface: compacted rock first, then hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts and rolled. Private roads and access drives get the same treatment. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Wamac has been a city since 1916, so plenty of its drives sit on base that was never built for today's vehicles. We cut out failed asphalt or rutted gravel, rebuild soft areas, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. Widening a narrow drive or adding a parking pad fits into the same job.
Driveway pavingShops, churches and small business lots near the Centralia line take steady local traffic plus delivery trucks. We build base rock for the heaviest vehicle expected, lay out entrances and turning room, then pave and compact. Grading keeps water off the surface and out of the base, so it gets set before anything is placed.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, alleys and access drives here carry garbage trucks and service vehicles that weigh far more than cars. We compact the base in layers, crown the surface and build edges that hold when a wheel drops off the pavement. Millings and chip seal are options where traffic is light.
Road constructionIn a town like Wamac, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Fulton Branch runs through the south side of the city on its way into the Kaskaskia watershed, and the ground around it is low and slow to drain. Clay-heavy soils common across the region hold water, and freeze-thaw winters lift anything built over a wet base. We dig out soft soil, compact rock in lifts and grade for runoff.
The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.
Typical ranges. Your Wamac estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Not for scheduling. The city spans Washington, Marion and Clinton counties, and we pave across all three plus the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Permit rules can differ by jurisdiction, and we work with whatever applies to your address.
Most Wamac driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
Work inside your Wamac property line usually does not need one, but a new entrance onto a city street, a county road or a state route often does. The rules differ by road, so check with the city or county first; the owner normally pulls that permit.
We pave all around Wamac, across Clinton County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
