The Driveways in Boyd

56.8 percent of Boyd was built before 1960, with the largest single decade being the 1970s. Post-war drives are the awkward middle of this trade: old enough that the surface is finished, young enough that the base underneath is often still worth saving. What it needs varies house by house, which is why we would rather look at it than quote from the year on the deed.

92.6 percent of the homes here are detached houses, which is about as close to all of them as this data gets. Practically every surface we are asked about is a private drive with one household on it, and out this way they run long. Length is the thing that surprises people about the number: a drive that takes four minutes to walk is several times the square footage of one in town.

Boyd is a village of 603 people and 243 homes, which is the size where a street grid and open country meet inside the same few blocks. That produces two different jobs. In the village the drives are short, close together and often share access with a neighbor. A mile out they run to a town road and are measured rather than eyeballed. Neither is priced like the other.

How Far Out Boyd Is

Boyd is about 24.5 miles northeast of Eau Claire, well inside the area rather than at the edge of it. The estimate is free either way, and the number you approve is the number you pay.

Questions From Boyd

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
How do we tell whether a Boyd driveway needs sealing or replacing?
By what is under it rather than by its age. Post-war drives are the awkward middle of this trade: old enough that the surface is finished, young enough that the base is often still worth saving. Where the base is sound, sealing buys another decade for a fraction of replacement. Where it was never really built, a new surface follows the same failing shape, and we will say so before quoting one.
Can you work a Boyd lot without shutting the business for a day?
Usually, and it is the first thing to talk about rather than the last. Sealer needs the surface clear and about 24 hours before traffic goes back on it, so on a small lot with shared access the answer is often a section at a time. That is a scheduling conversation, and it goes better in the spring than in the week you want it done.
How much does a long rural driveway cost compared to one in town?
More, because there is more of it, and 92.6 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 Boyd from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
About 24.5 miles northeast, in Chippewa 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.
