Asphalt Paving in Harrisburg, OR

Asphalt paving in Harrisburg combines in-town driveways and rural work. Harrisburg, in southern Linn County at about 315 feet, was incorporated in 1866 and had 3,652 residents in 2020, its largest population ever. Around it lie grass seed fields and farms with long gravel lanes.

Owner-occupied town

In 2020, 74.8% of Harrisburg's 1,320 occupied homes were owner-occupied. Most in-town work is driveway replacement and new driveways in newer neighborhoods.

Rural lanes

Farm and rural properties often have long gravel lanes and shop aprons. We pave all or part, with a base sized for trucks and equipment, and add ditches or culverts so water leaves the pavement.

Valley soils

Like much of the valley floor, the ground around Harrisburg can be slow to drain in winter. We dig out soft material and place a deeper base where needed.

Growth

Harrisburg has grown slowly but steadily, from 422 people in 1880 to its 2020 peak. Newer homes come with driveways that sometimes settle within a few years if the base was thin; we can repair or replace them.

Typical projects

• Driveway replacements
• Rural lane paving
• Shop and equipment aprons
• Crack sealing and patching

Timing

We pave in dry months and patch year-round.

Crack sealing

Sealing cracks each late summer keeps winter water out of the base. It is the cheapest way to make a driveway last in the valley.

Gravel to asphalt

In-town homes with gravel parking pads can be paved after we check and compact the rock.

Drainage

We slope driveways to the street and keep roof runoff off the pavement edges.
