Rockton sits west of Roscoe in the northern tier of Winnebago County, near the Wisconsin line. That corner of the county gets the full continental winter with nothing softening it. Rockford is well inland from any lake, so we do not get the moderation that the towns on Lake Michigan and Lake Erie get. What we get instead is a straight run of freezes and thaws working on clay all season.
Every one of those cycles does two things. Water in the subgrade freezes and expands, lifting the pavement above it, and the pavement never settles back level. Then the thaw softens that same soil so it carries less weight than it did in the cold. Repeat that from December through March and a driveway with a thin base has ruts, low spots that hold water, and a crumbling edge by spring.
Edges deserve a word on their own. Asphalt has no curb behind it, so wheels ride the edge with nothing holding it. We run the base out past the asphalt, rake and roll the edge to a taper, then bring soil up level with it. An edge standing proud over a drop-off loses a piece every winter, and a plow blade finishes the job.
Quotes and measurements happen year round. Paving runs roughly May through October, because hot mix will not reach density on cold ground.
