Working in New Richmond

New Richmond High School is on East Richmond Way with about 1,100 students, and it runs varsity track and field and varsity tennis. The district has three elementary schools and a middle school besides, and its 2024 referendum covered additions, renovations and site improvements at Starr Elementary, Paperjack Elementary and the middle school. Track and court surfaces are summer work. Track work gets laid out to the measurements rather than by eye, because lanes and exchange zones have to come out where they're supposed to.

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 New Richmond

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

Crack repair, seal and restripe

The usual maintenance cycle

Measured on site

  • Hot crack filling, surface seal, full relay of lines
  • The cycle most asphalt tracks want every few years

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 New Richmond

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 New Richmond

What New Richmond calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
How far is New Richmond from you?
About 69 miles, an hour and fifteen minutes, out I-94 and then north on Highway 64. For commercial lots we come. Send the address and what the lot needs and we'll set up a time to walk it. The estimate is free.
Does pavement work go out as a formal bid for a school district?
Yes. You get a written scope with the quantities and a fixed number, in the form the district needs to put in front of a board. Quantities are what let a board compare one number against another, so the scope lists them area by area rather than as a lump.
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 New Richmond 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 New Richmond 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.

The Lots and Surfaces in New Richmond

New Richmond is a city of about 10,900 in St. Croix County, north of the interstate where Highway 64 running east and west meets Highway 65 running north and south through town as Knowles Avenue. It's 69 driving miles from Eau Claire, about an hour and fifteen, out I-94 and then north. Highway 64 is an expressway with at-grade intersections until 145th Street in the city and a two-lane surface road from there in, which is worth knowing if you're routing a truck. The Willow River runs through the city.

The industrial ground is one park, one big plant and an airport. The New Richmond Business and Technical Park runs about 107 acres off Highway 65 on the south side, inside a tax increment district, with water, sewer, electric, natural gas and telecom in, rail under two miles off and the airport three. Syntegon builds packaging machinery at 155 West 3rd Street, a plant that has been through two owners before this one and employs more than 270 people. New Richmond Regional Airport has 123 privately owned hangars, more than any other airport in Wisconsin, better than 275 based aircraft, a jet center and roughly 35,000 to 40,000 operations a year.

The retail and institutional lots are on the two highways. West Richmond Way carries a Walmart Supercenter with a walk-in clinic inside the building, and South Knowles Avenue carries Northwood Technical College's New Richmond campus. Westfields Hospital and Clinic is a full medical campus on Hospital Road with an emergency department, primary and specialty clinics, a pharmacy, inpatient care and maternity. The school district has three elementary schools, a middle school and a high school on East Richmond Way with about 1,100 students, and a 2024 referendum paid for additions, renovations and site work across three of those buildings.

Wisconsin is split into five frost zones for WisDOT's frozen road declaration, which goes out once the ground has frozen at least 18 inches deep. That's the number that matters to a lot: how far down the frost gets, not how cold the air is.
