The Driveways in Lafayette

Town of Lafayette has a clear peak. the 1990s put up 20.8 percent of the 2,792 homes here, and the decades either side of it fill in most of the rest. Surfaces of one age share one problem, so the question here is rarely what a drive needs. It is whether it is at the point where sealing still saves it or the point where it does not, and those are a few years apart.

Mostly single-family, at 86.2 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 Lafayette 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 Lafayette Is

Roughly 12 miles northeast 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 Lake Wissota about 1.3 miles off, Town of Hallie about 4.4 miles, and Chippewa Falls about 5 miles. All of them are inside the area, so if your road runs between two of them you are inside it too.

Questions From Lafayette

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Half the road in Lafayette is having work done. Should we be too?
Possibly, and it is a fair question here, because 20.8 percent of the housing dates from the 1990s. When a place goes up in one burst the driveways reach the same milestone together, so what the drive two doors down needed is usually close to what yours needs. We still look at yours rather than assuming the road.
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.
We share a driveway with the neighbors. How does that get quoted?
As one surface, with the bid saying plainly which areas are included, because that is the document everybody sharing the cost has to agree on. Shared drives and small multi-unit surfaces wear differently from a single-family drive: the traffic is heavier and it concentrates at the entrance. They are worth sealing sooner for the same reason.
How far is Town of Lafayette from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
About 12 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.
