The Driveways in Colburn

33.8 percent of the housing in Town of Colburn has gone up since 2000, and the biggest single decade was the 2000s at 24.9 percent. That is the best case sealing has. A drive built to a modern standard has a sound base under it, so when the surface runs out of wear layer the fix is a maintenance job rather than a construction one. The catch is that whole roads reach that point in the same year rather than one house at a time.

Mostly single-family, at 90.3 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 Colburn 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 Colburn Is

About 31.7 miles northeast, which puts Colburn in the outer half of the area rather than at the edge of it. The thing worth doing at this distance is asking early rather than mid-season. 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 Delmar about 7.2 miles off, Town of Estella about 7.4 miles, and Town of Arthur about 8.4 miles. All of them are inside the area, so if your road runs between two of them you are inside it too.

Questions From Colburn

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Our place in Colburn is fairly new. Is the driveway ready for sealing?
Not until it has cured, which takes six to twelve months from paving and often longer before there is any point. Sealing new asphalt too early traps the lighter oils and does more harm than waiting. With 33.8 percent of the housing here built since 2000, a fair number of calls from this area end with us saying come back in a couple of seasons.
Our address is a fire number on a town road. Do you still come out?
Yes. Most of the land in Chippewa 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 90.3 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 Colburn from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
About 31.7 miles northeast, in Chippewa 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.
