Plain City Paving Along Big Darby Creek

Asphalt paving in Plain City starts with the creek and the county line. Big Darby Creek flows through the village and forms parts of its limits with Jerome and Darby townships. When Union County was formed in 1820, the county line was moved to the middle of the village, then called Westminster, so Plain City is split between Madison and Union counties to this day. We replace and resurface driveways, convert gravel drives, repair and sealcoat, and pave small lots for Plain City homes, farms and businesses.

Flat land, slow water

Much of the land in and around the village is flat, and flat land with a creek nearby mean water drains slowly and soil stays damp. Under a driveway, damp soil lets the base settle, and the asphalt above cracks into a network and dips where cars park. We dig out failed areas to firm material, rebuild with compacted stone and set a consistent slope so water leaves the pavement instead of standing on it.

Two counties, one village

Whether your home is in the Madison County or Union County part of the village rarely changes a private driveway job. It can matter when the work reaches a ditch, a culvert or the road. We confirm what applies to your address before we schedule.

Near the creek

McKitrick Park sits on the right bank of Big Darby Creek in the Madison County half of the village. Homes on the low ground near the creek and its floodplain need extra attention to base depth and drainage. On these lots, a thicker stone base and careful grading do more for the life of the driveway than a thicker layer of asphalt.

Rural drives around the village

After 1795 the area was known as Pleasant Valley, a name still in use in the late Depression era, and much of the land around the village is still farmland. Country homes often have long gravel drives. Converting gravel to asphalt starts with shaping and compacting the existing stone, adding more where it is thin and then paving with firm edges. We also patch and resurface older asphalt drives that have broken down at the road.

Plain City Questions

Why does my Plain City driveway keep cracking?

Flat ground and damp soil let the base settle. If the cracks form a connected pattern, the base needs to be rebuilt before new asphalt will last.

Does the county line affect my project?

Usually only if the work reaches a ditch, culvert or the road. We confirm what applies to your address before scheduling.

Can you pave my farm lane or long gravel drive?

Yes. We shape and compact the stone, add more where needed and pave with firm edges.
