The Driveways in Lake Wissota

Lake Wissota has a clear peak. the 1970s put up 26.4 percent of the 1,551 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.

90.3 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.

Lake Wissota is a named community rather than an incorporated village, so it has no village hall, no separate government, and no published population estimate: the Census counts legal entities and this is not one. The 1,551 homes here are what we are actually talking about. Drives sit on township roads more often than on a street grid, which usually means they are longer.

Questions From Lake Wissota

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Half the road in Lake Wissota is having work done. Should we be too?
Possibly, and it is a fair question here, because 26.4 percent of the housing dates from the 1970s. 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 90.3 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 Lake Wissota from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
About 12.9 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.
