Working in Oakdale

Tartan Senior High on Greenway Avenue is the ISD 622 high school here, and it fields boys' and girls' track and field, tennis and cross country. North High, which takes the north end of Oakdale, is over in North St. Paul. Track and court work is a summer-window job, and the window is short enough that a district wanting it done this year settles the date early. Lanes and exchange zones get 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 Oakdale

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 Oakdale

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 Oakdale

What Oakdale calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
How far out do you come? We're right off I-694.
Oakdale is about 79 miles from Eau Claire and a bit over an hour and a quarter, nearly all of it I-94. 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 Oakdale 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 Oakdale 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 Oakdale

Oakdale is an east metro suburb of St. Paul in Washington County, about 30,000 people and roughly 79 miles west of Eau Claire, nearly all of it I-94. The city is boxed in by highway: I-94 along the south, I-694 along the north, Highway 120 on the west and Highway 36 across the middle.

There's no single business park here; the commercial ground is spread along those highways. Oakdale Village on 3rd Street North is three retail buildings with a pad-ready parcel still open, sitting next to the big boxes at Inwood Avenue and Radio Drive. Fleet Farm is on Hadley Avenue between Highway 36 and I-694, and Cub is at Bergen Plaza on 10th Street North in the southeast corner. Slumberland Furniture's headquarters is here, on the campus the old Imation world headquarters left behind, and there's a clinic in the Tessar building on Helmo Avenue.

The other big lots belong to the city and the county. City Hall and the police station on Hadley Avenue are being remodeled and expanded, with services working out of Public Works on Granada Avenue while that runs. The new public works building on Granada is 75,300 square feet on nine acres, with 40,000 square feet of fleet storage, salt storage and a fuel island. Washington County's Oakdale Library is on Heron Avenue and Tartan Senior High is on Greenway Avenue. Close to 200,000 square feet of new industrial space is in the works.
