Concrete Contractors in Hillsboro, OR

Hillsboro has nearly tripled since 1990, and that pace shows in the calls we get from homeowners looking for concrete contractors in Hillsboro. The city had 37,598 residents in 1990, 70,187 in 2000 and 106,447 in 2020, with 42,363 housing units in the last census. Some of those homes sit on century-old lots near downtown, others in subdivisions from the 1990s, and many on streets that did not exist ten years ago. We pour and replace driveways, patios, walks, steps and slabs across the city.

A county seat with deep roots

Hillsboro was incorporated by the Oregon Legislature on October 19, 1876, and it is the county seat of Washington County. The Tualatin River forms part of the southern city limits, and riverboats served the town as early as 1867. On older blocks near downtown, concrete is often a patchwork of decades. Walks, stoops and narrow drives may each date from a different owner. We replace the pieces that have failed and match texture and joint spacing so the new work fits the old.

Orenco, on the city's north side, includes the Orenco Townsite Conservation zone, a former company town built by the Oregon Nursery Company. Next to it, Orenco Station grew up around the MAX line as a compact, walkable neighborhood. Homes there often have small front yards where the walk and steps are a big part of the street view.

Built during the Silicon Forest boom

Intel opened its first facility in the area in 1979 and its Ronler Acres campus in 1994, and Hillsboro is now called the center of Oregon's Silicon Forest. The housing that followed went up fast. Driveways and patios from the 1990s and early 2000s have now been through 20 to 30 wet winters, and that is when we start seeing settled garage aprons, cracked corners and patios that hold water.

On the newest streets, including the recently annexed South Hillsboro area, the jobs are different: extending a builder's small patio, adding a side walk to the back yard, or pouring a pad for a shed or hot tub. We check HOA rules and lot drainage before we design anything.

Street trees and planter strips

The City of Hillsboro requires a free Tree Care Permit before anyone plants, removes or replaces a street tree, or does major pruning in the right-of-way. Owners must replace any tree removed from the public right-of-way, and they must keep limbs trimmed to at least eight feet above the sidewalk. If a street tree is lifting your walk, we look at the panel and the tree together, so the fix does not set off a permit problem.

Heat, rain and curing

Hillsboro's record high is 114 degrees, set on June 28, 2021, and its record low is minus 14, from January 1930. Average precipitation is about 36 inches a year. Summer pours need shade, water and timing so the surface does not dry before it cures. Winter pours need a dry base and a forecast window. We plan for both.
