The Driveways in Big Bend

Town of Big Bend has a clear peak. the 1990s put up 23.7 percent of the 493 homes here, and the decades either side of it fill in most of the rest. Surfaces of one age share one problem, so the question here is rarely what a drive needs. It is whether it is at the point where sealing still saves it or the point where it does not, and those are a few years apart.

91.7 percent of the homes are detached houses, with the balance in duplexes and small multi-unit buildings. The single-family drives are the long ones and the multi-unit surfaces are the ones that take more traffic than they were built for. Both are worth doing and they are not priced the same way.

The Town of Big Bend is township rather than village, so most addresses out here are a fire number on a town road. That is not a complication and it does not put a job out of reach. It does change the shape of the work: a rural drive usually meets the road rather than a curb, and what fails first is the edge and the apron rather than the middle. Rural drives get measured rather than estimated by eye, so the number you get is for your drive rather than for an average one.

How Far Out Big Bend Is

Town of Big Bend sits about 37.4 miles northeast of Eau Claire. That is a real drive and it is one we make, so ask rather than assuming you are too far out.

Questions From Big Bend

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Half the road in Big Bend is having work done. Should we be too?
Possibly, and it is a fair question here, because 23.7 percent of the housing dates from the 1990s. When a place goes up in one burst the driveways reach the same milestone together, so what the drive two doors down needed is usually close to what yours needs. We still look at yours rather than assuming the road.
Why does the end of our driveway break up before the rest of it?
Because it is doing two jobs. Out here a drive meets a town road rather than a curb, so the asphalt has nothing beside it holding it in, and that apron takes the plow, the road salt and every vehicle that turns onto it. Edges and aprons fail first almost everywhere in township. They are also the cheapest part to put right if it is caught before the base under them goes.
How much does a long rural driveway cost compared to one in town?
More, because there is more of it, and 91.7 percent of the homes here are detached houses on their own drive. What we will not do is guess at the length. A rural drive gets measured, and the number is for that drive rather than for an average one. The estimate is free, so finding out costs nothing.
How far is Town of Big Bend from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
About 37.4 miles northeast, in Rusk County. The estimate is free either way, and the number you approve is the number you pay. If several places on the same road want theirs done, mention it when you call.
