Paving on the Fall Line
Asphalt paving in Wetumpka deals with ground that changes from street to street. Wetumpka, the Elmore County seat, sits on the Fall Line, where the Appalachian foothills meet the Gulf Coastal Plain, and the Coosa River runs past the city. That means rockier, hillier ground on one side and softer coastal plain soils on the other, plus slopes that send runoff across driveways.
A crater under the city
East of downtown are the eroded remains of an impact crater about 5 miles wide, made by a meteorite roughly 1,000 feet across about 80 million years ago and confirmed by Auburn University researchers in 2002. It is part of why the terrain is so varied.
River town history
Wetumpka was incorporated in 1834 and became a cotton port on the Coosa. The Bibb Graves Bridge is its best-known landmark. On January 19, 2019, a tornado destroyed First Presbyterian Church and badly damaged First Baptist Church downtown.
Slopes and drainage
On sloped lots, water runs down driveways and cuts channels along edges. We shape driveways to move water to the sides and add swales or culverts where runoff crosses.
Roads
US 231 runs east of downtown, 18 miles south to Montgomery, and AL 14 runs east to Tallassee and southwest to Prattville. Driveways on state routes 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. Sloped sites and rock can change the base work. We give you a written number after the site visit.
