Main routes: Route 138
About 17 miles south of Carlinville, Wilsonville is a village of around 500 people on Route 138, between Mount Clare and Bunker Hill. We pave driveways and parking lots here, along with private lanes and shop pads, using a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt. Farm lanes and private roads outside the village get the same approach.
The West Fork of Cahokia Creek runs through a deep ravine along the village's western edge, so properties near it can deal with slope and fast runoff. We look at where water goes before we set a grade, then build edges that hold. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 to schedule one.
If your drive is gravel that washes out after storms, or blacktop that has cracked into pieces, the problem is usually the base and the drainage. We dig out soft spots, compact new rock, shape the surface so water runs to the sides, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home driveway. Near a slope, we build firmer edges so they do not crumble.
Driveway pavingFor a church, shop or community lot in the village, or a business off Route 138, we plan entrances and drainage before any asphalt goes down. The base is sized for the heaviest vehicle that uses the lot. Worn lots with a sound base can often be overlaid; lots with soft spots need those areas rebuilt first.
Parking lot pavingWe build private roads, shared drives and farm lanes with a graded, compacted base and a crown so rain runs off. Near the creek ravine, we pay close attention to where runoff goes so it does not cut under the edge of the lane. Asphalt suits lanes with truck traffic, and chip seal is an option for lighter use.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Wilsonville each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Runoff headed toward the West Fork of Cahokia Creek can undercut pavement edges near the ravine. On flatter ground, clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold water under the surface, and freeze-thaw winters heave it. Either way, the fix is the same: drainage first, a compacted rock base, and edges that are supported.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.
Typical ranges. Your Wilsonville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Edges crumble when they have no support. Tires ride near the edge, the base beside it is soft or washed out, and the asphalt breaks off. We fix it by building the base wider than the pavement, compacting it, and shaping the shoulder so water drains away from the edge.
Yes. We serve Wilsonville, Bunker Hill, Mount Clare, Benld, Gillespie and the rest of southern Macoupin County, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
No. Fresh asphalt in Wilsonville needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Wilsonville properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
