Asphalt issues usually don’t start as major failures. They start as small cracks, surface wear, and areas where water begins working its way into the pavement.

Over time, those small issues become larger repairs, potholes, and costly reconstruction that could have been prevented earlier. That’s why routine asphalt maintenance matters. Crack filling and sealcoating help protect the surface, slow deterioration, and extend the life of the pavement already in place.

At Dunn Company, maintenance is about helping property owners and communities protect their investment before small problems turn into major ones.

If your pavement is starting to show signs of wear, now is the time to start the conversation.

When a roadway starts to fail, consider modern and efficient solutions like CIR.

Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) gives communities and agencies a way to restore aging roads while reusing the existing pavement already in place. The result is a renewed driving surface that improves performance, extends roadway life, and minimizes the disruption and cost that often come with full replacement.

For roads that see daily traffic, school routes, farm traffic, and community travel, CIR helps preserve infrastructure while keeping projects moving efficiently. It’s a smart approach for agencies looking to maximize budgets without sacrificing long-term performance.

If you’re evaluating roadway preservation options, contact Dunn Company to discuss whether CIR is the right fit for your project.

We want to recognize Pat Durbin for his 10 years of service with Dunn Company. Pat has been serving on our stabilization crew and helping lead work on some of our major infrastructure projects, including our wind energy project in Coles County.

These projects rely on experienced people who understand the work, adapt in the field, and take pride in getting the job done right.

Congratulations to Pat on 10 years with Dunn Company, and thank you for your continued hard work and commitment to the team.

Dunn Company has been hard at work overnight on E Ash Ave helping improve city's streets.

Paving at night allows roadway improvements to happen while reducing disruption to the drivers, businesses, and residents who rely on this roadway every day. It’s challenging work that takes planning, coordination, and a crew committed to getting the job done safely and efficiently after dark.

We appreciate the patience of everyone traveling through the area while our team helps make improvements to our city.

If you’ve noticed some bright lights coming from the Dunn Company asphalt plant this week, there’s a good reason for it.

Our crews have been working through the evening hours to help minimize traffic disruption and keep projects moving while many people are off the roads. Night work allows important roadway improvements to take place while reducing the impact on drivers, businesses, and the surrounding community during busy daytime hours.

It takes a dedicated team to keep operations running safely and efficiently after dark, and we appreciate the hard work our crews continue putting in to help improve the infrastructure our communities rely on every day.

Sealcoating helps preserve asphalt by sealing the surface against moisture infiltration, oxidation, and chemical exposure. By limiting water intrusion and slowing binder degradation from UV exposure, sealcoating helps maintain surface integrity and delays the onset of cracking and raveling.

It improves overall pavement performance and extends the service life of the asphalt. It also improves surface uniformity, which can aid in visibility for striping and overall site function.

At Dunn Company, sealcoating is part of our pavement maintenance strategy focused on protecting existing assets and managing long-term lifecycle costs.
If you’re planning maintenance for your pavement, reach out to Dunn Company to evaluate and develop the right approach for your pavement.

Every project performs only as well as the layers beneath it. Sub grade preparation, stabilization where required, and proper aggregate base installation are what establish structural capacity and long-term performance.

Whether it’s roadway construction, parking lots, or site development, attention to moisture conditioning, compaction, and base uniformity directly impacts how the surface will hold up under traffic and environmental conditions. When the foundation is built correctly, it reduces premature distress and supports the intended design life of the pavement.

If you’re planning a project and want to ensure long-term performance, reach out to Dunn Company to review your site conditions and develop the right approach.

Today we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and the safety and protection we experience every day. Their service and commitment are something we will never forget.

Today provides us a chance to reflect on what this day represents and the freedoms we’re able to enjoy because of those sacrifices.

We’re proud to be part of the communities we serve and wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
