Cedar Mill Paving on Wooded Hills

Asphalt paving in Cedar Mill usually involves trees, slopes and damp ground. Cedar Mill is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Washington County, at about 522 feet of elevation, north of U.S. Route 26. Cedar Mill Creek and Johnson Creek flow through it, and the area even has a waterfall, the 32-foot Cedar Mill Falls. The 2020 census counted 17,259 residents in 6,388 housing units, up from 12,597 people in 2000. We pave and replace driveways, make repairs, resurface, sealcoat and handle small lots.

A sawmill town

Plans for a mill were made as early as 1855 by 23-year-old John Halsey Jones. The mill opened in 1859 as the area's first organized business and ran until 1891. A post office named Cedar Mill opened in 1874, and the name stuck. Today Cornell Road runs through the community's small downtown, and Barnes Road meets it at the spot where a general store once stood. Homes along these older roads often have longer, curving driveways and mature trees close to the pavement.

Slopes and creeks

Cedar Mill rises toward the hills north of the Sunset Highway, so many driveways have a real grade. Rain running down a sloped driveway will cut along any weak edge and wash out the base. With creeks running through the area, some lots also stay wet into late spring. On every Cedar Mill job we plan where the water goes: we compact the base in layers, support the edges, shape the surface so it sheds water and make sure runoff at the bottom does not head into the garage.

Roots and shade

Tall firs and cedars give Cedar Mill much of its character, and they also lift and crack driveways and keep them damp and mossy. We repair root-damaged sections and plan new edges with trees in mind. Sealcoating helps a shaded surface shed water, though it needs a warm, dry stretch to cure, so we do it in summer.

Unincorporated, but next to Beaverton

Cedar Mill is not a city, so outside Beaverton's limits, road and right-of-way questions go to Washington County. Part of the area, including the land with Sunset High School, was annexed by Beaverton in 1999, so some addresses are now inside the city and others are not. Who you deal with for a change at the street depends on which side of that line you are on. We confirm before scheduling.

Cedar Mill Questions

Is my Cedar Mill home in Beaverton or the county?

It depends on the address. Some areas were annexed by Beaverton, including land around Sunset High School in 1999, and others remain unincorporated. We check which applies before any work at the street.

How do you handle a sloped, shaded driveway?

We compact the base carefully, support the edges, plan the drainage and recommend sealcoat to help the shaded surface shed water.

Tree roots have cracked my driveway. What can be done?

We remove the lifted section, address the root where it is safe for the tree, rebuild the base and repave.

When is the best time to pave in Cedar Mill?

Summer and early fall, when the ground and pavement are dry. Damp, shaded lots take longer to dry out, so we schedule them in the driest stretch we can.

Can you pave a long, curving driveway?

Yes. We plan the base, edges and drainage along the whole length, and we pay special attention to curves, where turning tires put extra stress on the asphalt.
