The Driveways in Tilden

Town of Tilden is young. 35.8 percent of the housing has been built since 2000, against 12.6 percent from before 1940. What that means on the ground is wide drives on bases that were engineered rather than guessed at, most of them now old enough for the surface to be spent while everything underneath is still fine. A fair number of calls from an area like this end with us saying a drive is not ready yet, which is not the answer anybody expects from a contractor.

93.2 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.

The Town of Tilden 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.

Questions From Tilden

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Our place in Tilden is fairly new. Is the driveway ready for sealing?
Not until it has cured, which takes six to twelve months from paving and often longer before there is any point. Sealing new asphalt too early traps the lighter oils and does more harm than waiting. With 35.8 percent of the housing here built since 2000, a fair number of calls from this area end with us saying come back in a couple of seasons.
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 93.2 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 Tilden from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
About 12.7 miles north, 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.
