Serving Albany, OR and surrounding areas. (458) 233-8057
Albany Concrete Company is a concrete contractor serving Newberg with driveway, patio, and foundation services designed for the area's heavy clay soils and wet winters. We handle projects from downtown near George Fox University to properties in the Chehalem Mountains, and we respond to all inquiries within one business day.
Newberg sits in Oregon wine country, and many homeowners here want outdoor living spaces that reflect the area's aesthetic. Our decorative concrete services include stamped patterns, colored finishes, and exposed aggregate that give you the look of high-end materials at a more practical price, perfect for patios and walkways in this scenic area.
Whether your home is in one of the older neighborhoods near downtown or in a newer subdivision on the east side of town, we build driveways that can handle Newberg's clay soil movement and wet winters. Proper sub-base prep and drainage keep your driveway level and crack-free for years longer than standard pours.
Older homes near George Fox University and downtown Newberg often have crawl space foundations that were built before modern moisture management standards. We repair settling foundations, install proper vapor barriers, and pour new footings that meet current building codes and can handle the area's soil conditions.
Newberg's location in the Willamette Valley wine country makes outdoor living space valuable, and a well-built patio extends your usable living area through most of the year. We grade for proper drainage, use sub-base material that resists soil movement, and finish the concrete to match your home and landscape.
Walkways in Newberg take stress from freeze-thaw cycles in winter and soil shifting year-round. We build sidewalks with control joints, proper slopes for drainage, and sub-base material that minimizes cracking and settling, giving you safe, level walkways that last.
Many Newberg homes built before 1970 still have their original concrete driveways, walkways, and garage floors. After decades of use, that concrete is often cracked, settled, or showing drainage problems. We assess whether repair or full replacement is the better investment for your property and give you a clear recommendation.
Newberg gets around 40 to 45 inches of rain per year, with most of it falling between November and March. That sustained winter moisture is hard on roofs, siding, and anything concrete that is not properly drained. The Willamette River runs along the northern edge of town, and properties near the river or in low-lying areas can be affected by high groundwater and seasonal flooding. Even properties farther from the river sit on heavy clay soils that hold water and shift with the seasons, which puts constant stress on foundations, driveways, and slabs. When clay soil stays wet for weeks at a time, it expands and pushes against concrete. When it dries out in summer, it shrinks and pulls away, leaving gaps and causing settling. This cycle repeats every year, and concrete that is not built to handle it will crack and move over time.
A large share of Newberg's housing stock was built before 1970, and many of those older homes still have their original crawl spaces, driveways, and garage floors. After 40 or 50 years of wet winters and freeze-thaw cycles, that concrete is showing its age. Newer subdivisions built in the 1990s and 2000s on the east and south edges of town are starting to see the same issues as homes reach 15 to 25 years old and builder-grade materials start to fail. Whether your home is a historic Craftsman near downtown, a mid-century ranch in an established neighborhood, or a newer two-story in a recent subdivision, the soil and climate challenges are the same, and the solution is proper drainage, excavation, and sub-base work before the concrete goes in.
Our crew has been working with the City of Newberg Community Development Department for years, and we know what the city requires for concrete flatwork, foundation repairs, and structural projects. Newberg is a city of around 25,000 people in Yamhill County, sitting about 25 miles southwest of Portland via Highway 99W, and it has its own distinct character as a wine country community with deep roots and steady growth.
Whether you are near George Fox University downtown, in one of the older neighborhoods with Craftsman homes and tree-lined streets, or in a newer subdivision on the east side of town, we have worked on properties across the city. Newberg also has historic landmarks like the Hoover-Minthorn House and sits at the base of the Chehalem Mountains, which form the backdrop of the area and are home to many vineyards.
We also serve nearby communities including Woodburn and McMinnville, and we understand how soil conditions, building codes, and property types vary across Yamhill County and the surrounding area.
Call or submit our contact form, and we will respond within one business day to schedule a time to visit your Newberg property. We work around your schedule and confirm the appointment before we arrive.
We visit your property to assess the job site, check drainage and soil conditions, and discuss exactly what you need. We provide a detailed written estimate on the spot, with no pressure and no obligation.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work and handle all excavation, sub-base prep, forming, pouring, and finishing. Most driveway and patio projects take 2 to 4 days depending on size and site complexity.
We walk you through the finished work, answer any questions, and make sure you are satisfied before we leave. The job site is cleaned up, and you are left with concrete that is built to last through Newberg's wet winters and dry summers.

Call (458) 233-8057Newberg is a city of about 25,000 people in Yamhill County, sitting roughly 25 miles southwest of Portland in the heart of Oregon's wine country. The city is surrounded by vineyards and farmland, with the Chehalem Mountains forming a scenic backdrop to the south and west. George Fox University has been based in Newberg since 1891, and it brings several thousand students and staff to the city year-round, creating a mix of long-term homeowners and a rental market near campus. The Hoover-Minthorn House, where President Herbert Hoover lived as a boy, is one of the city's most recognized historic landmarks.
The older parts of Newberg near downtown and the university have homes built in the early 1900s through the 1940s, many of them Craftsman bungalows and Victorian-era houses with original wood siding and older foundations. A significant share of the city's housing stock was built between the late 1940s and the 1970s, and these mid-century ranch and split-level homes are now at the age where major systems need attention. Newer subdivisions on the east and south edges of town were built mostly since the 1990s and are starting to see the same issues as homes reach 15 to 25 years old. We also serve nearby communities including McMinnville and Woodburn, and we know how housing stock and soil conditions vary across this part of the Willamette Valley.
