Asphalt Paving is the Foundation of Strong Surfaces

When it comes to creating a smooth, reliable, and long-lasting surface for your home, business, or community, asphalt paving is the gold standard. From driveways and parking lots to roads and pathways, properly installed asphalt provides a durable, cost-effective solution that enhances safety, appearance, and property value. It’s also important to the integrity of your home or business.

At Hoerr’s Blacktop & Sealcoating, we specialize in asphalt paving as part of our full range of paving services — which also includes concrete pavement and chip seal. Serving Peoria, Bloomington, Galesburg, and the surrounding Central Illinois region, our expert team delivers precision paving tailored to your property’s unique needs. And we’re here to meet your needs.

If you’re looking for a paving solution that stands up to heavy use and harsh Midwest weather, asphalt paving is a smart investment. Hoerr’s is the trusted partner to get it done right.

Our Proven Approach to Asphalt Paving: From
Start to Finish

Asphalt paving requires more than just laying down hot mix and rolling it out.
At Hoerr’s Blacktop & Sealcoating, our process is designed to ensure durability, performance, and aesthetic appeal.

Here’s how we deliver quality every time:

  • Site Evaluation and Planning – We start with a full assessment of your site, traffic patterns, drainage needs, and soil conditions.
  • Excavation and Grading – Our team prepares a stable foundation by removing debris, leveling the area, and shaping the grade for proper water runoff.
  • Base Installation – A strong base layer of aggregate is compacted to provide strength and support for the asphalt surface.
  • Asphalt Application – Using high-quality hot mix asphalt, we lay and compact the surface with precision to achieve a smooth, even finish.
  • Final Touches and Quality Check – Striping, edging, and finishing details are added, followed by a thorough inspection to ensure long-term performance.

This step-by-step approach not only delivers beautiful results but also maximizes the lifespan of your asphalt investment.

Remember: anyone can pour asphalt, but not every contractor delivers surfaces built to last. Poor drainage, improper grading, or weak base materials can cause cracks, potholes, and costly repairs within just a few years. At Hoerr’s, we build with precision because we know Central Illinois roads, parking lots, and driveways face:

  • Freeze-thaw cycles in winter that expand cracks.
  • Intense summer heat that softens surfaces.
  • Heavy rain that requires excellent drainage solutions.
  • Daily wear from farm equipment, delivery trucks, and high-traffic businesses.

By addressing these local challenges upfront, we ensure your pavement withstands the test of time.
