Asphalt Paving in Tigard, OR

Asphalt paving in Tigard means working in a city that was a small community until the 1960s and then filled in quickly. Tigard incorporated in 1961, when its population was estimated at 1,084. The 1970 census counted 6,499, the 1990 census 29,344, and the 2020 census 54,539, in 22,829 housing units. Most of the driveways and private lots in the city were first paved within the last 50 years, and many are now due for repair, an overlay or full replacement. We do all of those, plus sealcoating and parking lot paving and striping.

Highways on three sides

Interstate 5 runs along Tigard's eastern edge, Oregon Route 217 ends at I-5 inside the city, and Oregon Route 99W is a major highway through it. Route 210 forms much of the northern boundary with Beaverton. That puts a lot of retail and office space in Tigard, including Washington Square, which Wikipedia calls one of the largest malls in Oregon. Commercial lots along these corridors take heavy traffic, delivery trucks and a lot of turning, which is what wears out asphalt fastest. We patch failed areas, overlay worn drive lanes, sealcoat and restripe, and schedule work in phases or after hours where a business needs it.

Homes on the valley floor and the hill

Tigard sits in the Tualatin Valley, with Bull Mountain rising to the west. Homes on the valley floor tend to have short, flat driveways where drainage is the main concern. Homes on the slopes toward Bull Mountain often have steeper drives where compaction, edge support and runoff control matter more. On both, we start by checking whether the base is still firm. If it is, an overlay can be a good value. If the driveway has ruts, broken edges or areas that move underfoot, replacement is the honest answer.

An old railroad town underneath

The Tigard family arrived in the area in 1852, a post office opened in 1886 under the name Tigardville, and the Oregon Electric Railway arrived in 1910 and pushed development along Main Street. Downtown Tigard still has older lots with narrow access, alleys and mixed surfaces. Those jobs take careful layout, tight equipment and clean edges against concrete, curbs and walls.

Right-of-way work

Tigard is also the city in the 1994 U.S. Supreme Court case Dolan v. City of Tigard, a landmark decision about what cities can require from property owners in exchange for permits. Today, if your project changes where the driveway meets a city street, such as the approach or curb, we check with the city about what it requires before scheduling.
