Paving in Jefferson

Asphalt paving in Jefferson is mostly driveways for owner-occupied homes. Jefferson sits on the east bank of the Santiam River in southwestern Marion County, about 9 miles north of Albany and 2.5 miles east of Interstate 5. It is compact, under one square mile, and 77.2% of its occupied homes were owner-occupied in 2020.

River-edge ground

The Santiam forms the city's western border with Linn County before joining the Willamette near Buena Vista. Ground near rivers in the valley tends to stay wet through winter. We check the subgrade on every job and replace soft material before building the base.

Dense, small lots

With about 3,300 people on 0.86 square miles, Jefferson is denser than many valley towns. Driveways are short and close to the street. We plan the slope so water runs to the gutter, not to the garage or a neighbor's yard.

Close to I-5

Easy freeway access means we can schedule Jefferson work alongside Albany and Salem jobs, which helps keep travel costs down.

Typical projects

  • Replacing cracked driveways
  • Paving gravel parking pads
  • Patching and crack sealing
  • Sealcoating

Timing

We pave in the dry months and handle urgent patching year-round.

Sealcoating

After a driveway has cured for several months, sealcoating protects it from water and sun. HomeGuide puts driveway sealing at about $1 to $2 per square foot. We seal cracks first and apply sealer in dry, warm weather.

Crack sealing

The best time to seal cracks is late summer, before the rains return.

Small commercial lots

Jefferson's shops and churches often have small lots with faded lines. We patch, seal and restripe them to the ADA 2010 Standards.
