About JIL Asphalt Paving Co.

Built on Nebraska Values. Driven by Results.


At JIL Asphalt Paving Co., asphalt isn’t just our business—it’s our legacy.


For over 25 years, we’ve served Grand Island, NE, and surrounding Nebraska communities with a simple promise: do the work right, treat people with respect, and build lasting results that speak for themselves.


Founded on the principles of flexibility, innovation, and performance, our company has become a trusted name in the paving industry—on both residential streets and regional highways, school campuses and grain storage facilities, driveways and downtowns.



When you partner with JIL, you're not just hiring a paving crew. You're investing in a team that brings decades of experience, small-town reliability, and big-project capability to every job site.

Our Story—From Local Crew to Regional Leader

Where It All Began

Established in 1986, JIL Asphalt Paving Co. began as a small, family-focused operation committed to quality craftsmanship and personalized service. Over the years, our reputation grew—thanks to our no-nonsense approach, our attention to detail, and our willingness to go the extra mile (or yard).



Today, we’re proud to be one of the region’s most respected asphalt contractors, with projects that range from rural farm pads to high-traffic municipal overlays. But even as we’ve grown, we’ve never lost our connection to the values we were built on.

Leadership That Shows Up on Site

Our company is led by three hands-on owners—Gable, Chad, and Tom—who bring decades of collective paving experience and a deep understanding of Nebraska’s terrain, climate, and community needs.



We don’t believe in running a business from behind a desk. You’ll find us on-site, checking quality, supporting the crew, and making sure every project is completed with integrity.

We know you have choices when it comes to paving contractors. Here’s what makes JIL Asphalt Paving Co. different:

  • In-House Crews & Equipment
    We don’t outsource or cut corners. Every job is completed by our trained, insured, and experienced team using equipment we own and maintain.
  • Our Own Asphalt Plant
    With control over our mix and materials, we ensure consistent quality and scheduling—without delays or third-party markups.
  • Local Expertise, Long-Term Thinking
    From city ordinances to soil conditions, we know what works in Nebraska and how to build surfaces that last through harsh winters and hot summers.
  • Straightforward Service
    No fluff, no vague estimates. We believe in clear communication, fair pricing, and results that meet your expectations—or exceed them.

Every Project Counts—No Matter the Size

From a single-family driveway to a 10,000-square-foot parking lot, we approach every job with the same level of care and dedication. That’s because we know how important these surfaces are—not just for vehicles, but for safety, accessibility, and first impressions.


We don’t just pave. We:

  • Help homeowners boost curb appeal
  • Support farmers during harvest season
  • Improve roadways for Nebraska’s towns and cities
  • Create safe, reliable spaces for schools, churches, and businesses

Our Philosophy Is Simple

“Every project is important. Regardless of size or scope, we throw our full weight behind it—and deliver the results our clients expect from JIL Asphalt Paving.”



It’s a mindset that’s guided us for decades—and one that continues to shape how we work, how we lead, and how we grow.

Awards, Recognitions & Community Trust

Over the years, JIL Asphalt Paving Co. has earned several industry recognitions for our commitment to excellence and safety. More importantly, we’ve earned something harder to come by: the trust of our community.



We’re proud to say most of our work comes from referrals and repeat clients—people who know they can count on us, year after year.

Whether you're a homeowner, business owner, property manager, or government official, we’re ready to help you move forward—with surfaces that are solid, smooth, and built to endure.
