Blacktop that holds up in Winchester

A statue of Stephen A. Douglas stands on the town square, marking the year he arrived at 20 to teach school here in 1833. Winchester has been the Scott County seat a long time, and county seats collect pavement: home drives, square-side business lots, church lots and the roads running out to the farms.

We pave driveways and parking lots first, on a graded, compacted rock base with hot-mix asphalt placed and rolled in lifts. Route 106 comes into downtown from the west, where out in the county it largely parallels I-72 and US 36. Farm lanes and private roads are part of the work.

Driveway paving in Winchester

Drives around the older blocks are often narrow, patched and sitting on base that has been there a long time. We cut out what has failed, rebuild the soft areas, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. Widening for a second vehicle or adding a turnaround is easiest while the equipment is on site.

Parking lot paving in Winchester

Business lots near the square, church lots and shop pads take delivery trucks along with everyday traffic. We build base rock for the heaviest vehicle, lay out entrances and turning room so drivers are not cutting across stalls, then pave and compact. Grading moves water to a planned outlet instead of into the base.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Farm lanes, private roads and access drives out in the county take grain trucks and equipment on soft ground. We grade, compact base in layers and crown the surface so runoff reaches the ditch. Chip seal and recycled millings cover longer, lighter stretches where hot mix is more than the traffic needs.

General asphalt paving & repair

In a town like Winchester, 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.

What's under a Winchester driveway

The ground here rolls enough that water picks a path and collects in the low spots. Clay-heavy soils common across the region hold it near the surface, and freeze-thaw winters lift pavement built over a wet base. We remove soft soil, compact rock in layers and set the grade so runoff leaves rather than soaking under it.

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.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Winchester estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Winchester paving questions

Do you pave out in the rest of Scott County?

Yes. Winchester is the county seat, and we pave through the surrounding towns and farm country and south toward St. Louis. Driveways, parking lots, farm lanes and private roads are all part of the work. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

What goes under a new asphalt driveway?

A compacted aggregate base. The old surface and any soft soil come out, the subgrade gets compacted, then crushed rock goes in and is compacted in layers. Asphalt on top is usually 2 to 3 inches for a home drive. The base does most of the structural work.

What goes into the price of paving in Winchester?

On a Winchester job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.

Will a new surface fix water standing in my lot?

Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Winchester leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
