Paving in a Historic Town
Asphalt paving in Lowndesboro calls for care. Lowndesboro, in Lowndes County at about 390 feet, had just 89 residents in 2020, and much of the town lies within the Lowndesboro Historic District, listed on the National Register. Federal troops occupied the town in 1865 with little destruction, which helped preserve its antebellum buildings.
Historic properties
Homes such as Meadowlawn Plantation (1853) and The Pillars (1857), the Will Stone Store and the old churches sit on large lots with long drives and mature trees. Paving there should fit the setting and avoid damaging roots.
Long drives
We build long drives with a full base, a crown and supported edges, routing around major tree roots where possible.
US 80
US 80 runs near town. Driveways connecting to it may involve ALDOT for work in the right-of-way.
Name
The community was originally McGill's Hill and was renamed in 1832 for Congressman William Lowndes. It incorporated in 1856, lapsed and reincorporated in 1962.
Upkeep
Sealing every few years and filling cracks keep a long drive tight.
Cost guide
Published national ranges put new asphalt driveways at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot (HomeGuide), seal coating at $1 to $2 per square foot and pothole repairs at $100 to $400. Long drives are priced by length; curves add 15 to 30 percent per HomeGuide. We give you a written number after the site visit.
Gravel or asphalt?
Some historic properties keep gravel drives for appearance. Asphalt with a chip-seal or similar finish is an option some owners consider; we talk through what fits.
