Roscoe sits in Roscoe Township, in the northern part of Winnebago County, north of Rockford toward the Wisconsin line. It is far enough out that lots get bigger and driveways get longer, and square footage is the biggest single lever on an asphalt price. A long drive on this ground is a real project, so we measure the whole run rather than guessing from the road.
Length also changes what the ground does to it. A short city driveway has one or two soil conditions under it. A two-hundred-foot drive crosses several, and the soft clay pocket halfway along is where the alligator cracking shows up first. We proof-roll the subgrade to find those spots before they get buried, and we lay geotextile fabric where the clay will not hold stone.
Then the build is the same everywhere: compacted subgrade, six to eight inches of angular crushed stone placed in thin lifts and compacted each time, then a binder course and a surface course of hot mix rolled while hot. Angular stone locks under a roller. Round river gravel rolls out from under it, which is why the loose rock on an old lane is not a base.
Every depth we quote is a compacted depth, written on the paper, because hot mix loses about a quarter of its thickness under the roller.
