Home Service Area Boring
Nursery and farm country ten minutes southeast of our Gresham shop. We pave long gravel driveways, grade acreage properties, and keep working surfaces sealed and maintained.
Boring sits about ten minutes southeast of our Gresham shop, out where the nurseries and farms start and the lots get bigger. That’s Porter’s own dump truck and lowboy trailer above, photographed on a job out this way, not a stock photo. Almost every property here runs on a long private driveway, and plenty of them are still gravel. Boring is famously twinned with Dull, Scotland, which says something about the town’s sense of humor, but there is nothing dull about grading and paving a quarter-mile gravel lane the right way.
A long gravel lane works fine until it doesn’t. Ruts open up after the rainy season, gravel migrates into the yard and the ditch line, and regrading it flat again turns into a spring chore that never really ends. For a lot of properties out here, paving that lane in asphalt is the fix that actually holds. Dust in the dry months is the other common complaint, especially once nursery trucks and tractors start kicking it up daily.
If a full pave isn’t in the budget yet, recycled asphalt millings are a legitimate middle step. Millings compact into a firmer surface than loose gravel, cut down on dust and rutting, and go down on the same grade and base you’d use later for asphalt, so nothing done now gets wasted later.
Either way, the driveway gets graded and based properly first. See our gravel and recycled millings options, or go straight to asphalt paving if you’re ready to pave the whole lane at once.
Nursery delivery trucks, tractors, and everyday farm equipment ask more of a driveway than a commuter’s sedan. A few things we account for on acreage and working properties:
Base depth and compaction sized for heavier trucks and trailers, not a standard residential driveway spec
Culverts and existing drainage worked into the grade, so water keeps moving where it already goes instead of pooling against new pavement
Turning radius and lane width that actually fit a delivery truck or trailer, not just a car
A sealcoat schedule, every 3–5 years, that protects the surface from fuel, fertilizer, and full sun across open acreage
The same crew that grades and paves the lane can keep it sealed and maintained for the long run.

Straight from Google, including the kind of gravel-to-asphalt driveway work that’s common out here.
“Project was completed nicely for a very competitive price.”
“Porter Sealcoating and Paving did a great job putting down black top on my gravel driveway! I had them come back again to sealcoat their work and it looks fantastic. They are professional and it was easy to do business with them. I’m very happy with the outcome.”
About ten minutes. We’re based in Gresham, so Boring properties are some of the closest jobs on our schedule for both estimates and follow-up work.
Yes. Long gravel lanes are the norm out here, and grading and base prep happen before any asphalt goes down. Skipping that step is the main reason gravel-to-asphalt conversions fail early.
It can, when the base and depth are built for it. We account for heavier truck and trailer traffic on working properties instead of paving to a standard driveway spec and hoping it holds.
Every 3–5 years for most driveways, sooner if the property sees heavy equipment traffic or a lot of sun exposure across open acreage.
