The Driveways in Edson

About a third of Town of Edson predates the Second World War: 30.9 percent was up before 1940 and 39.8 percent before 1960. Drives on stock that old tend to be narrow, often steep where they meet the road, and they take more hand cutting than a spray job on a modern subdivision. Crack filling is frequently the whole job rather than a step in one, because hot rubber into everything that has opened up will buy years on a surface that is otherwise sound.

Mostly single-family, at 86.7 percent detached, with a small share of duplexes and multi-unit buildings mixed in. That second group is the one where sealing pays back fastest, because a surface carrying six vehicles instead of two finds the edge of its wear layer years earlier.

This is township, not village. There is no street grid in the Town of Edson and no curb to stop the asphalt, which is the single biggest difference between a rural drive and a town one. Without a curb the edge is unsupported, so it breaks away first, and the apron where the drive meets the town road takes the plow and the traffic together. Both are fixable. Neither gets found by looking at the middle of the drive.

How Far Out Edson Is

Roughly 24.2 miles northeast of Eau Claire, which is a normal working distance rather than a special trip. If several places on the same road want theirs done, mention it when you call. The estimate is free, and the number you approve is the number you pay.

To place it: the nearest places we cover are Boyd about 3.5 miles off, Stanley about 5.5 miles, and Town of Wilson, Eau Claire County about 6.4 miles. All of them are inside the area, so if your road runs between two of them you are inside it too.

Questions From Edson

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Is a driveway this old in Edson worth sealing at all?
Often yes, and it is worth a look rather than a guess, because a place with 30.9 percent of its housing built before 1940 has more genuinely worn-out surfaces than a newer one does. Press the cracked areas with your foot. If the surface flexes, the base under it has failed and sealer will not help; those sections have to be cut out. If it is solid underfoot and simply gray and cracked on top, it is a good candidate.
Our address is a fire number on a town road. Do you still come out?
Yes. Most of the land in Chippewa County is township rather than village, and most of the driveways out there are longer than anything in town. That does not put a job out of reach and it does not change how it is priced. It does mean the drive gets measured rather than estimated by eye, so the number you get is for your driveway rather than for an average one.
We share a driveway with the neighbors. How does that get quoted?
As one surface, with the bid saying plainly which areas are included, because that is the document everybody sharing the cost has to agree on. Shared drives and small multi-unit surfaces wear differently from a single-family drive: the traffic is heavier and it concentrates at the entrance. They are worth sealing sooner for the same reason.
How far is Town of Edson from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
