Paving in a Small Company Town

Asphalt paving in Wood Village covers a city of less than one square mile. Wood Village was built as a company town for the Reynolds Aluminum plant in nearby Troutdale, which closed in 2000, and residents voted 156 to 35 to incorporate on June 18, 1949. It is bordered by Fairview to the west, Troutdale to the east and Gresham to the south, and covers about 0.94 square miles. The city had 822 residents in 1960 and 4,387 in 2020, in 1,370 housing units. We replace and repair driveways, resurface, sealcoat, and pave and stripe small lots.

Older homes, tight lots

Many Wood Village homes date from the city's early decades, when it housed workers for the aluminum plant. Driveways on those lots are often short and narrow, and many have been patched or overlaid several times. When old asphalt is broken up across the surface or has sunk in the wheel paths, the base has usually failed. We remove the old pavement, rebuild and compact a crushed rock base and repave, working carefully around fences, lawns and neighboring driveways.

Small city, small jobs done right

Most jobs in Wood Village are single driveways, short shared drives and small apartment or business lots. We take those jobs as seriously as large ones: a clean saw-cut where new asphalt meets old, a smooth tie-in at the garage and street, and edges that are compacted and finished so they do not crumble.

Industry and growth

The city was also home to a 90,000-square-foot Merix Corporation plant, and consolidation with Fairview and Troutdale was seriously considered in the late 1960s and again in the early 1980s, though Wood Village stayed independent. The population grew from 2,860 in 2000 to 4,387 in 2020. Newer pavement here mostly needs crack filling and sealcoating to keep it in good shape.

East county weather

Wood Village sits near the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge, close to Troutdale, where strong east winds come out of the Gorge. Winter winds and cold snaps are hard on pavement with open cracks, so crack filling before the rainy season is one of the most useful things a Wood Village homeowner can do.

Wood Village Questions

Do you take on single small driveways?

Yes. Most Wood Village jobs are single driveways and small lots, and we do them with the same care as larger projects.

My older driveway is sunken in the tire tracks. Can it be overlaid?

Ruts usually mean the base has failed, so an overlay would not last. Replacing the driveway with a rebuilt base is the better fix.

When should I fill cracks?

Late summer or early fall, while the pavement is dry and before winter weather arrives.

Do you sealcoat small lots and shared drives?

Yes. We fill cracks first, then sealcoat in dry summer weather, and coordinate with neighbors on shared drives so everyone can still get in and out.

How do you protect my lawn and fence on a tight lot?

We size equipment to the space, protect edges and plantings, and clean up when the job is done.
