Why Local Expertise Matters

Hillsboro builders and homeowners face unique challenges: Pacific Northwest rainfall, mid-century home structures, and active HOA rules in developments like Orenco and Tanasbourne.

Drainage mistakes in hardscape projects cost thousands to repair. We design patios, driveways, and retaining walls that shed water away from foundations and handle freeze–thaw cycles.

Hillsboro's Development Services team requires permits for decks, patios over 40 square feet, and any grading work. We handle compliance, inspections, and final approvals so your project passes code review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a patio in Hillsboro?

Yes, patios larger than 40 square feet and all hardscape work above grade require a building permit from the City of Hillsboro Development Services. We handle the application and inspection process for you.

What about HOA rules in Orenco and Tanasbourne?

Many Hillsboro neighborhoods have active HOAs. We review your CC&Rs, submit architecture requests, and ensure your project complies with community guidelines before breaking ground.

How does Oregon's rain affect my patio or driveway?

Our region gets 40+ inches of rain yearly. Proper base prep, slope, and drainage prevent standing water and extend patio life. We use permeable materials and subsurface drainage when needed.

Can you work with my existing landscaping?

Absolutely. We integrate new patios, decks, or retaining walls with mature plantings and existing features. Our landscape designers coordinate hardscape and softscape so everything works together.

Do you offer maintenance after installation?

Yes. Seasonal care, spring cleanups, moss removal, and ongoing patio sealing keep your landscape looking fresh and prevent long-term damage from Hillsboro's wet winters.

What materials work best for Hillsboro patios?

Permeable pavers, natural stone, and segmental block drain well and resist freeze–thaw damage. We avoid solid concrete in heavy-rain areas and recommend materials that shed water quickly.
