Paving in a Historic Mill Town
Asphalt paving in Tallassee is mostly work on established homes and small-town lots. Tallassee straddles the Tallapoosa River, with the city on the Elmore County side and East Tallassee in Tallapoosa County, at about 299 feet of elevation. The population has held steady around 4,800 for decades: 4,934 in 2000, 4,763 in 2020.
Mill and armory
A cotton mill built in 1844 became the Tallassee Armory in 1864, when the Confederacy moved the Richmond Carbine Factory there; it was the only Confederate armory not destroyed in the war. The Mount Vernon Mill burned on May 5, 2016. Mill-era homes on narrow lots have short, older driveways.
Hilly ground
Near the Fall Line, Tallassee is hillier than Montgomery. Sloped driveways need control of runoff and well-supported edges.
The dam
Alabama Power built Thurlow Dam in 1931 on the Tallapoosa. Roads near the river and dam see a mix of local and visitor traffic.
Highways
AL 14 runs through town, 22 miles to Wetumpka, and AL 229 runs 8 miles south to I-85 at exit 26. Work in state right-of-way may involve ALDOT.
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. Short, older drives are often a modest job. We give you a written number after the site visit.
