Asphalt Paving in Montgomery, AL

Asphalt paving in Montgomery covers a city of about 160 square miles and roughly 200,000 people. Montgomery was incorporated on December 3, 1819, from two rival towns, became the state capital in 1846, and sits on the south bank of the Alabama River on the Gulf Coastal Plain at the edge of the Black Belt. That spread means everything from tight drives in historic neighborhoods to big commercial lots along the interstates.

Historic districts

The Garden District and Cloverdale Historic District, both on the National Register, have older homes on narrower lots with mature oaks and magnolias. Driveways there are often narrow, shared or built along the side of the house, and roots and age have done their work. Careful handwork and attention to tree roots matter more than speed.

Newer East Montgomery and growth areas

Newer subdivisions toward the east were built on graded clay. Driveways there are reaching the age where sealing or resurfacing is due, and where the original base was thin, replacement.

Heat and rain

Montgomery averages 86 days above 90 degrees and about 51 inches of rain a year. We pave thick enough to resist rutting, schedule early in the day in summer, and set drainage on every job.

Interstates and commercial lots

I-65 runs north-south through the city and I-85 ends here. Retail, office and hotel lots near the interchanges carry steady traffic. Maxwell Air Force Base, home of Air University and site of the Wright brothers' 1910 flying school, employs more than 12,000 people, and the housing and businesses around it keep a lot of pavement busy.

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. The Census puts Montgomery's median owner-occupied home value at $161,900 (2020-2024). We give you a written number after the site visit.

Permits

For work that reaches the street, curb or sidewalk, we confirm the City of Montgomery's requirements before scheduling; on state routes, ALDOT's.
