Working in Maplewood

Neither of ISD 622's high schools is in Maplewood: North High is in North St. Paul and Tartan is in Oakdale. The high school inside the city is Hill-Murray, a private school on a 40-acre site on Larpenteur Avenue, which runs track and field and tennis and is listed as a Maplewood track venue. Ramsey County's Aldrich Arena on White Bear Avenue is the other institutional sports property here, and an arena's pavement is parking and service rather than playing surface. Track and court work is a summer job, and the layout gets measured rather than eyeballed.

What makes track work different

The surface work is the same trade. Clean it, fill what has opened up, seal it, and it lasts. What's different is everything downstream of the paint gun. Lane lines are set from a measured stagger so that every lane runs the same distance. Exchange zones and acceleration zones have defined lengths and have to be marked in the right colors to be read at speed. Get the layout wrong and you have a facility that looks finished and can't host a meet, which is a problem nobody notices until the day it matters.

What Decides the Price in Maplewood

These are ranges. Anything at this scale is walked and measured before it is quoted, because condition and layout move the number far more than square footage does.

Restripe only

Existing layout, surface sound

Measured on site

  • Lanes, exchange and acceleration zones, numbers
  • Layout taken from the existing measured stagger

Courts

Tennis, basketball, pickleball

Measured on site

  • Per court, depending on condition and color coating
  • Multiple courts on one visit come down per court

Public bodies usually need a bid they can put against a budget line, often a season ahead. Ask in the fall for work the following summer and you'll get a better number and a better slot.

How the Work Goes in Maplewood

Track work happens in the summer window between seasons.

Walk it, measure it, write it

Condition survey and a measured check of the existing layout before anything is quoted. If the stagger has drifted from an earlier restripe, that gets found now rather than after the paint is down.

Crack repair

Hot rubber at 400 degrees into anything that has opened up. On a track this matters more than on a lot, because a crack across a running lane is a trip hazard as well as a leak.

Clean and seal

The whole surface, edge to edge. This is the step that buys the years and it is the one that gets deferred, because a faded track still works.

Lay out the lines

Chalked from measurements, checked, then painted. Lanes, exchange and acceleration zones, start lines, and lane numbers.

Hand it back clean

Cured, swept, and ready for the season.

Questions We Get in Maplewood

What Maplewood calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
How far out is Maplewood for you?
About 78 miles from Eau Claire and roughly an hour and fifteen minutes, straight out I-94 or around on I-694. For commercial lots we come out. Send the address and what the lot needs and we'll set up a time to walk it. The estimate is free.
When can track work be done?
Summer, between seasons. Sealer needs warm dry weather and a proper cure, and a track needs to be closed while that happens, so the window is roughly June through August in Maplewood and the surrounding area. Book in the winter for the following summer.
How often does an asphalt track need resealing?
Every three to five years for the seal, and crack filling as often as it needs it, which in Maplewood and the surrounding area is usually annually on an older track. Lines get relaid with the seal, because sealing over them removes them.
Can you restripe a track without resurfacing it?
Yes, and it is often the right call when the surface is sound and only the lines have faded. It buys a few years before the surface work is genuinely due. What it costs depends on the layout: lane count, whether the exchange zones and the field events are being reinstated, and whether the existing lines can be followed or have to be set out again.
Do you do tennis, basketball and pickleball courts?
Yes. Same trade, smaller and simpler layout. Multiple courts done on one visit cost less per court because the trip is already paid for.
Can you put track and court work out as a formal bid?
Yes. Written scope, measured quantities and a firm number, in whatever format your district needs it, and early enough to sit in next year's budget.
