Asphalt Paving in Scio, OR

Asphalt paving in Scio means planning for water. Scio sits on Thomas Creek near where the North and South Forks of the Santiam meet, and a January 2012 flood caused significant property damage in town. Driveways and lanes here need a firm base, a good crown and a way for floodwater and runoff to drain off quickly.

Covered bridge country

Scio calls itself the Covered Bridge Capital of the West; its tour covers five of Linn County's eight covered bridges, most on the National Register. The countryside around town is farms and rural homes with long gravel lanes.

Small town, settled homes

Scio had 956 residents in 2020 and 370 housing units; 67.9% of occupied homes were owner-occupied. The ZCBJ Hall, built in 1922 by the area's Czechoslovak community beside Thomas Creek, is on the National Register.

Flood-aware paving

Near the creek we raise the driveway slightly where we can, crown it so water runs off, and avoid trapping water against homes. After a flood, we can repair washed-out edges and soft spots.

Typical projects

• Farm lanes and rural driveways
• Driveway replacement in town
• Repairs after high water
• Crack sealing

Timing

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

Crack sealing

Seal cracks in late summer before the rains.

Drainage

We crown driveways and lanes so water runs off quickly and add culverts where runoff crosses.

Equipment aprons

Farm shops and barns need thicker aprons for heavy equipment.
