Paving Woodson from the base up

Spoon Creek runs along the north edge of the village, and beyond it lie Lake Jacksonville and the combined I-72 and US 36 freeway. Woodson itself sits mainly on the east side of Route 267, about 7 miles south of Jacksonville and roughly 20 miles north of Greenfield.

The village was platted in 1859 and incorporated in 1894, so there is older ground and older base under much of the pavement here. We pave driveways and parking lots first, rebuilding the base rather than covering it over, then farm lanes, shop drives and private roads. Everything goes down as hot mix on compacted rock. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Woodson

A drive here usually runs off Route 267 or a village street, holding a car, a pickup and often a trailer. We take out failed asphalt or rutted gravel, rebuild the base where it has softened, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. The apron at the road gets built to take turning weight.

Parking lot paving in Woodson

Church lots, shop pads, business lots and farm yards are the lot work in a village this size. Trucks and equipment put heavy loads on small areas, so we size and compact base rock for that. Entrances and turning paths get laid out first, then the grade is set so water leaves to a planned outlet.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Farm lanes and private roads running back off Route 267 take loaded trucks through wet ground in spring and fall. We grade, compact base in layers, and crown the surface so runoff reaches the ditch. Hot mix suits the heaviest traffic; chip seal or recycled millings suit longer lanes with fewer trips.

General asphalt paving & repair

Out around Woodson, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.

Ground, water and winter in Woodson

Spoon Creek takes the runoff along the north edge, and the flat farm ground between there and the village drains slowly. Clay-heavy soils common across central Illinois hold water near the surface, and freeze-thaw winters lift pavement built over it. We remove soft soil, compact rock in layers and set the grade for runoff.

A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.

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 Woodson estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Woodson paving questions

Straight answers for Woodson homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

Do you pave in Jacksonville and Murrayville?

Yes. Route 267 runs about 7 miles north to Jacksonville, and Murrayville is under 4 miles away. We pave in both plus South Jacksonville and the rest of Morgan County. Driveways, lots, farm lanes and private roads are all part of it. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

Can you pave in the fall?

Yes, as long as temperatures cooperate. Hot mix has to stay hot enough to compact properly, so late-season work gets scheduled around cold snaps and rain. Spring through early fall is easier, but a fall job done in the right window holds up fine.

Do I need to be home for the estimate?

It helps, because you know where water sits on the Woodson property and how the drive gets used. If you cannot be there, tell us what you want done when you call and we will work out the best way to walk the site and go over the details with you.

Is chip seal or asphalt millings a better fit for a long drive?

Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Woodson. Chip seal gives a tough, textured surface; compacted millings bind tighter than gravel and cut the dust. We will walk the lane and tell you honestly where each one makes sense.
