Working in Menomonie

Snow plowing is centered on Eau Claire, and Menomonie is a drive out on I-94. Ask rather than assume. If it is rental property, the useful thing to establish early is who is responsible for what, because that is the question that turns up at six in the morning after the first real snow rather than in September.

Plowing is where a lot of asphalt damage comes from.

A blade set too low scrapes the surface and takes the sealer with it. A blade that catches a catch basin frame lifts it, and now you have a spring repair. Piling snow in the wrong corner means meltwater runs across the lot and refreezes where people walk, and then does the freeze-thaw cycle to your asphalt fifty times over one winter in exactly the same spot. None of that is difficult to avoid. It takes knowing the pavement, which is the same knowledge the rest of this site is about.

Questions We Get in Menomonie

What Menomonie calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
We own rental property near campus. Do you work with landlords?
Regularly. Rental drives around UW-Stout carry more vehicles than they were built for and wear accordingly, and a landlord is usually making a maintenance decision rather than a cosmetic one. The estimate prices the cheapest thing that actually works rather than the nicest-looking option, and we can schedule around the summer turnover.
Can the work be done between tenants rather than during the semester?
That's usually the sensible way round it, and it's the most common scheduling conversation we have in Menomonie. Sealer needs the surface clear and about 24 hours before traffic goes back on, which is easy in an empty August week and hard in October. Tell us the turnover dates when you call rather than after the calendar is set.
Do you plow residential driveways?
No. Plowing is commercial only: parking lots, drive lanes and walkways. Everything else on this site, sealcoating and crack filling and repair, we do for driveways as well.
Which towns do you plow?
Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. The winter area is tighter than the area we do pavement work in.
When should I line up snow plowing?
Before the snow flies. Call, tell us about the property, and we'll talk through what it needs for the winter.
Does plowing damage asphalt?
It can, and most of the damage is avoidable. A blade set too low scrapes the surface and takes the sealer with it, which undoes in one pass what sealing was meant to protect. A blade that catches the lip of a catch basin frame lifts it, and that becomes a spring repair rather than a winter inconvenience. Neither is difficult to avoid; both come down to knowing what is under the snow.
Why does the ice sheet form in the same corner every year?
Because that is where the snow gets piled and that is where the meltwater runs. A pile put in the wrong corner sends water back across the lot, where it refreezes overnight and thaws again the next afternoon. That spot then takes the freeze-thaw cycle dozens of times in a single winter while the rest of the lot takes it a handful, which is why one area ages faster than everything around it.
We just had the lot sealed. Can it be plowed this winter?
Yes, once it has cured, and a sealed surface actually plows better than a raw one because the blade rides on a tighter surface. What matters is blade height and what the plow is riding on: fresh sealer scraped by steel set too low comes off in strips. Shoes or a rubber edge deal with that, and they are worth asking about whoever does the plowing.
Does road salt damage asphalt?
Salt does far less to asphalt than it does to concrete, which is worth knowing before anybody spends money on the wrong problem. What salt really does to a lot is keep the surface wet and cycling through freezing rather than letting it stay frozen. Water in an open crack, freezing and thawing repeatedly, is what actually takes pavement apart. Sealed surfaces and filled cracks are the defense, not a different de-icer.
What does a plow do to a catch basin?
Finds it, usually the hard way. A basin frame that has settled below the asphalt catches a blade coming across it, and a frame that has been lifted proud of the surface catches it harder. Either way the impact loosens the collar around the structure, water gets under it, and by spring the ring of asphalt around the rim is coming apart. A basin that is level with the surface going into winter is the cheapest thing you can do about that.
Should we mark the edges of the lot before winter?
It helps, and it is what stops an edge getting broken off. Asphalt is at its weakest at the edge because there is nothing beside it holding it in, and a blade that runs off the pavement into the grass takes a piece of the edge with it. Markers at the corners, at the catch basins and along any island cost almost nothing and save the repair.

The Lots and Surfaces in Menomonie

Menomonie sits at the south end of Lake Menomin, a reservoir on the Red Cedar River, right on the boundary between the Central Plain and the Western Upland. I-94 runs along the south side with exits at Highway 25 and again four miles east, and Highway 25 north is the commercial spine. The grade change between the lake flats and the uplands is real, and so is the difference in how they drain.

The rental belt around the university is its own kind of work. A converted single-family drive carrying four or five vehicles wears in a pattern the original surface was never designed for, and the owner is usually a landlord making a maintenance decision rather than a homeowner making an appearance one. Those two buyers want different conversations and we have both.

Commercially, Menomonie punches above its population. Manufacturing is the largest employment sector in the county, and names like 3M, Ford, Andersen and the Walmart distribution center mean industrial lots with genuine truck loading on them.
