Paving in Lebanon

Asphalt paving in Lebanon covers everything from older homes near downtown to newer subdivisions and commercial lots. Lebanon sits on the eastern edge of the valley beside the South Santiam River, about 25 minutes from Corvallis, at roughly 348 feet. Like the rest of the valley, its pavement has to survive a long wet season.

A mill town rebuilt

Lebanon's economy was built on wood products: Evans Products opened a plywood mill in 1940 described as the largest of its kind in the world, and later Lebanite board was made here. The last big mills closed in 2006 and 2007. Many older homes date from those mill years and have narrow, patched driveways due for replacement. Former industrial land has been redeveloped, and new commercial sites need properly built lots.

The canal

A canal built by Chinese workers starting in 1873 carried goods to Albany and still supplies Albany's water. Near the canal and river, ground can be wetter; we check for soft subgrade before paving.

Strawberry Festival town

Lebanon has held its Strawberry Festival since 1909, with the "World's Largest Strawberry Shortcake" since 1931. Event parking lots and church lots that host big crowds benefit from crack sealing and restriping ahead of the season.

Owners and renters

In 2020, 54.6% of Lebanon's occupied homes were owner-occupied, with 7,569 housing units in town.

Typical projects

Replacing cracked driveways on older lots
Paving gravel drives on the edge of town
Patching and sealcoating commercial lots
Restriping church and event lots

Rain and the foothills

Lebanon sits closer to the Cascade foothills than Corvallis, and the country east of town gets more rain the higher you go. Gravel drives on the edge of town rut badly in winter. Paving them with a proper base, ditches and culverts ends the yearly gravel bill.

Timing

We pave in dry months and patch in wet ones. If your driveway is failing in winter, we can make it safe and schedule the permanent work for summer.

Church and school lots

Lebanon has many church and school lots that are busy a few days a week and quiet otherwise. That makes them good candidates for weekday paving and striping without disrupting services.

Lebanon Questions

Do you pave in Lebanon?

Yes. It is about 25 minutes from Corvallis, and we work there regularly.

Should I restripe before a big event?

Yes, if lines are faded. Restriping also triggers ADA layout requirements, which we handle.

Can you replace an old, narrow driveway?

Yes. We remove the old surface, rebuild the base and pave, keeping water away from the house.

Is the ground near the river softer?

Often in winter. We check during excavation and replace soft material.

Can you pave a gravel driveway on the edge of town?

Yes. We check the gravel, add and compact rock where needed, add ditches or culverts, then pave.
