Machesney Park runs north of Loves Park along the Rock River corridor and sits inside the same Rockford Park District footprint. River-corridor ground and heavy Winnebago County clay make for driveways that move. Water sits in clay rather than draining through it, and a driveway built with a thin skim of stone under it gets lifted every time that water freezes.
Spring is when the bill arrives. Winnebago County posts seasonal load restrictions on its own roads through the thaw, because the softened ground under them cannot carry what it carried in January. Nobody posts a restriction at the end of your driveway, and the same weakened soil is underneath it.
We fix that with depth rather than with a coating. Six to eight inches of compacted crushed stone replaces clay with material that drains, and drained material cannot freeze and swell. Where the subgrade is soft we lay geotextile fabric so the stone does not press into the clay over the years. Hot mix then goes down in a binder course and a surface course, rolled hot to reach density.
If your drive is only cracked in single lines and still sheds water, we will say so and quote crack filling instead. Connected cracking is a different conversation, and we will show you the difference standing on the driveway.
