Paving Aloha Driveways

Asphalt paving in Aloha serves a big community that never became a city. Aloha is a census-designated place in Washington County, about 10.9 miles west of downtown Portland, and the 2020 census counted 53,828 residents in 19,094 housing units, packed into about 7.36 square miles. A 1984 attempt to incorporate was halted because the community could not provide the services a city needs, so Washington County handles roads and permits. We pave and replace driveways, repair and resurface, sealcoat, and handle apartment and small commercial lots.

Built out in the 1970s and later

Aloha grew steadily through the late 20th century: 28,353 residents in 1980, 34,284 in 1990, 41,741 in 2000 and 49,425 in 2010. That steady growth means driveways in Aloha come in every age. Homes from the 1970s and 1980s often have driveways that are past the point of overlays, with base failure showing as ruts, broken edges and potholes. Homes from the 1990s and 2000s often still have a sound base and do well with an overlay. Newer homes mostly need crack filling and sealcoat. We tell you which one fits your driveway after looking at it.

Dense neighborhoods, careful work

At more than 7,300 people per square mile, Aloha is densely built. Lots are close together, driveways are often side by side, and many neighborhoods have apartments and townhomes with shared parking. On tight jobs we bring right-sized equipment, protect neighboring pavement and lawns, and saw-cut clean seams where new asphalt meets a neighbor's driveway or the street.

From Wheeler Crossing to Aloha

The Wheeler Subdivision was platted in 1893, named for early resident Ira Wheeler. Trains began stopping in 1907, and a post office named Aloha opened on January 9, 1912, replacing the old name Wheeler Crossing. The origin of the name is disputed. Some older properties near the railroad and the Tualatin Valley Highway still have long, narrow lots and older driveways that need full rebuilding.

Next to the Silicon Forest

Intel opened its first Oregon facility in Aloha in 1979, according to Wikipedia's Hillsboro article, and the area has been tied to the westside tech economy since. The apartment complexes and commercial lots in the community need regular patching, sealcoat and restriping.

Aloha Questions

Who issues permits for driveway work in Aloha?

Aloha is unincorporated, so roads and right-of-way work fall under Washington County. Changes at the street usually need county approval; we check before scheduling.

Can you pave a driveway right next to my neighbor's?

Yes. We saw-cut a clean seam, protect the neighboring pavement and finish the edge so both drives stay smooth.

Do you work on apartment parking lots?

Yes. We patch, overlay, sealcoat and stripe apartment lots in phases so residents can keep parking.

My Aloha driveway is from the 1970s. Is it worth overlaying?

Usually not, if it has ruts, potholes or broken edges. At that age the base often needs rebuilding, and a full replacement will last much longer.

How often should I sealcoat in Aloha?

Every few years is typical for a residential driveway, with cracks filled first, in dry summer weather.
