Asphalt Paving in Portland, PA
A small Delaware River borough linked by a pedestrian bridge, with rural properties and long lanes, served by DSP Paving in Northampton County.
Portland is a small Delaware River borough, linked to its river neighbor by a pedestrian bridge, where the properties spread out and the lanes run long along the riverbottom and up into the hills. It is rural ground, and the paving out here leans toward tar and chip, compacted millings, and gravel and stone surfaces that fit a long country lane better than a short residential apron of hot-mix. We schedule estimates in Portland throughout the paving season; call to set one up.
Because the lots are long and the ground is rural, the base and the drainage do the work. A country lane on soft ground will rut under regular traffic inside a wet season, so we grade for pitch, compact the stone base, and lay the surface on top of something that will hold. Owner Dale walks the lane with you and lays out which surface fits the grade and the use.

What Portland Surfaces Need
For the long lanes around Portland, tar and chip and compacted millings are the practical choices: solid under tires, economical over a long run, and easy to maintain. Gravel and stone is the lowest-cost option for parking areas and equipment pads, and we regrade and refresh worn stone so it drains instead of turning soft.
Where a customer wants a clean finish near the house, we can run full hot-mix for the last stretch and tar and chip or millings for the long approach. The riverbottom lots stay damp, so drainage and base compaction matter more here than on a dry hilltop. We set up the pitch first, then pave.

“Dale is a good communicator, keeping in touch with the client compared to my experiences with two other paving companies. He was able to do a paving job as well as seal a prior paving job. He started and completed the work the week after he gave us a price. His team's prep work was neat and precise before laying down the asphalt paving which looks really nice. I would hire him again, if I needed this kind of work done in the future.”
