Asphalt Paving in Wimauma, FL

Asphalt paving in Wimauma covers two very different kinds of property. The community has long been rural, with large lots, farms and long unpaved drives. More recently, new subdivisions have spread east from Sun City Center along State Road 674, bringing HOA streets and driveways that will need maintenance in the years ahead. The 2020 census counted 9,467 residents and 2,817 housing units on about 25 square miles of land, at an elevation of about 75 feet.

Named for three daughters

Captain C.H. Davis founded Wimauma in 1902. He built the name from the first letters of his daughters' names: Will, Maude and Mary.

SR 674 corridor

State Road 674 runs through the center of Wimauma, east about 9 miles to Fort Lonesome and west through Sun City Center about 9 miles to Ruskin and I-75. Businesses and churches along the road have lots that carry farm trucks as well as cars, and we build entrances and drive lanes with that in mind.

Rural drives

Long drives on larger lots are often shell, gravel or dirt that ruts in summer storms and turns dusty in the dry months. We regrade and compact sound material as base, rebuild soft sections with stone, crown the surface so it sheds water, and pave. A long lane does not have to be paved in one go; we often start at the house end and work out toward the road in later seasons.

For very long lanes or work yards, recycled asphalt is a lower-cost option to compare. It runs roughly $4-$9 a foot on HomeGuide's figures, under new hot-mix at $5-$12+.

New subdivisions

In the newer neighborhoods, the work is usually widening a builder's driveway, adding a parking pad, and sealing once the asphalt has cured. We prepare HOA submittals with measured drawings and specs.

Heavy vehicles

Many Wimauma properties have trucks, trailers or farm equipment. The heaviest truck on the property sets the section, and corners get extra width so tires stay on the asphalt.

Drainage

Open land and flat fields mean water can sheet across a property in a summer storm. We raise driveways slightly above the surrounding ground, crown them and keep the roadside ditch or swale clear.

County authority

Wimauma is unincorporated Hillsborough County. We confirm county requirements for any work at the road.

Common jobs

• Shell and dirt drive conversions
• Farm lanes and equipment pads
• New-subdivision widening and sealing
• Church and business lots on SR 674

Budget numbers

As a rough guide, national cost data from HomeGuide runs five to twelve dollars and up per square foot for fresh blacktop and a dollar or two per square foot for sealer. A visit turns that into a real figure for your property. Longer drives usually price lower per foot since mobilization is shared across more area.

Close to Sun City Center and Ruskin

Wimauma is a short drive east on SR 674 from Sun City Center, so we often combine estimates in the area. That helps keep scheduling quick for rural drives and new-subdivision work alike.

Churches along SR 674

Wimauma's churches often have shell or worn asphalt lots that fill up on weekends. We can pave, repair and stripe them between services, including accessible spaces near the entrance, and we leave the lot usable for the next gathering. For tight budgets, we can pave the drive lanes and accessible parking first and add the rest later.
