Paving across Macoupin County

Macoupin County sits about midway between St. Louis and Springfield, a big rural county where farming is the main business and I-55 runs down the east side. We pave driveways, parking lots, subdivision streets and farm lanes from Brighton and Staunton north to Carlinville, Girard and Virden. Routes 4 and 108 cross in the middle of Carlinville, home to Blackburn College.

No named river runs through the county. It drains by creeks: Macoupin Creek across the center, Apple Creek in the northwest and Cahokia Creek starting in the southeast corner. A county soil survey noted that most township and county roads here are paved with blacktop, so people know how asphalt behaves on this ground. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.

Ground and drainage

Silty loess 50 to 100 inches thick covers the glacial drift here, and the two most common soils, Virden and Herrick, are nearly flat silts that run poorly to somewhat poorly drained with a high water table in winter and spring. Wet base plus a freeze lifts pavement. We proof the subgrade, compact aggregate in lifts and grade so water leaves instead of standing.

Macoupin County paving questions

When is the best time of year to pave here?

Late spring through fall is usually best. Hot mix needs warm ground and air to compact properly, and the upland soils here carry a high water table in winter and early spring. We can look at the site any time and schedule the work for the right conditions.

Do you handle long rural driveways and farm lanes?

Yes. Long lanes need a crowned surface, cut or ditched shoulders and a thicker section where the lane ties into a state route. For lightly used lanes, chip seal is often a sensible option over full hot mix. We will walk the length with you before quoting.
