Asphalt Paving in Brownsville, OR

Asphalt paving in Brownsville is small-town work with a lot of history around it. Brownsville sits on the Calapooia River in Linn County, at about 335 feet. Settlers Alexander and Sarah Kirk ran a ferry across the river, which gave the town its early name of Kirk's Ferry, and it was incorporated in 1876. Several downtown buildings are on the National Register, and the town is known as a filming location for the 1986 movie Stand by Me.

Owner-occupied homes

In 2020, 79.4% of Brownsville's 681 occupied homes were owner-occupied. Most of our work here is replacing old driveways, paving gravel drives and sealing.

River ground

Low ground near the Calapooia can be soft in winter. We check the subgrade and replace soft material before paving.

Older lots

Many homes are older, with narrow driveways and mature trees. We use smaller equipment and protect roots where we can.

Stand by Me Day

The town has held Stand by Me Day since 2007, drawing thousands of visitors. Businesses with parking areas may want patching and striping ahead of busy events.

Typical projects

• Driveway replacement
• Gravel-to-asphalt conversions
• Patching and crack sealing
• Small commercial lots downtown

Timing

We pave in dry months, late spring through early fall, and handle urgent patching year-round.

Crack sealing

Sealing cracks in late summer keeps the winter's water out of the base.

Drainage

We slope driveways so water runs to the street and away from older foundations.

Gravel lanes

Rural properties outside town often have long gravel lanes. We pave all or part, with ditches and culverts where needed.
