The Driveways in Canton

There is very little new asphalt in Town of Canton. 43.8 percent of the houses were built before 1940 and only 11.5 percent have gone up since 2000, so almost everything we are asked to look at here has been carrying cars since before base depth was something anybody specified. The good news is that a lot of it has settled into whatever shape it was going to settle into. The test is simple: press the cracked areas with your foot, and if it flexes the base has gone.

Mostly single-family, at 91.7 percent detached, with a small share of duplexes and multi-unit buildings mixed in. That second group is the one where sealing pays back fastest, because a surface carrying six vehicles instead of two finds the edge of its wear layer years earlier.

This is township, not village. There is no street grid in the Town of Canton and no curb to stop the asphalt, which is the single biggest difference between a rural drive and a town one. Without a curb the edge is unsupported, so it breaks away first, and the apron where the drive meets the town road takes the plow and the traffic together. Both are fixable. Neither gets found by looking at the middle of the drive.

How Far Out Canton Is

Roughly 23.3 miles southwest of Eau Claire, which is a normal working distance rather than a special trip. If several places on the same road want theirs done, mention it when you call. The estimate is free, and the number you approve is the number you pay.

To place it: the nearest places we cover are Town of Lima about 4.3 miles off, Town of Albany about 7.1 miles, and Mondovi about 7.6 miles. All of them are inside the area, so if your road runs between two of them you are inside it too.

Questions From Canton

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Is a driveway this old in Canton worth sealing at all?
Often yes, and it is worth a look rather than a guess, because a place with 43.8 percent of its housing built before 1940 has more genuinely worn-out surfaces than a newer one does. Press the cracked areas with your foot. If the surface flexes, the base under it has failed and sealer will not help; those sections have to be cut out. If it is solid underfoot and simply gray and cracked on top, it is a good candidate.
Our address is a fire number on a town road. Do you still come out?
Yes. Most of the land in Buffalo County is township rather than village, and most of the driveways out there are longer than anything in town. That does not put a job out of reach and it does not change how it is priced. It does mean the drive gets measured rather than estimated by eye, so the number you get is for your driveway rather than for an average one.
How much does a long rural driveway cost compared to one in town?
More, because there is more of it, and 91.7 percent of the homes here are detached houses on their own drive. What we will not do is guess at the length. A rural drive gets measured, and the number is for that drive rather than for an average one. The estimate is free, so finding out costs nothing.
How far is Town of Canton from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
About 23.3 miles southwest, in Buffalo County. The estimate is free either way, and the number you approve is the number you pay. If several places on the same road want theirs done, mention it when you call.
