Spooner High School on Highway 70 has the track that hosts the Spooner Invitational, the Heart O' North Conference championships and the middle-school invitationals. Track work is a summer-window job, and 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 Spooner

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 Spooner

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 Spooner

What Spooner calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
How far north do you go?
Spooner is the top of it: about an hour and a half up Highway 53, for commercial lots. 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 Spooner 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 Spooner 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 Spooner

Spooner is the top of the road for us, about an hour and a half north of Eau Claire on Highway 53, a city of about 2,500 that calls itself the Crossroads of the North because 53, 63, 70 and 253 all meet here. It's the largest city in Washburn County, though the county seat is Shell Lake.

The commercial lots here are the hospital, the schools, the downtown and the industrial sites off the highways. Spooner Health is on Chandler Drive. The school district has its elementary, middle and high schools all in the city, and the high school on Highway 70 is a 163,000 square foot building whose track hosts the Heart O' North conference championships. Downtown runs along Walnut Street and River Street, and the state's largest cool-water fish hatchery, on West Maple Street, brings visitors year-round.

The city's development districts hold a machine shop, a warehouse built for Frito-Lay, a 24,000 square foot office and manufacturing building and an auto dealer, and the city has bought another 27 acres between Highway 53 and Highway 63 for what comes next.
