FAQ


  • How long does a school running track base last?

    A properly installed asphalt track base can last 15–25 years or more with routine maintenance and resurfacing.

  • How do we know if our track needs resurfacing or full reconstruction?

    If cracking is limited to the surface and the base remains stable, resurfacing is often sufficient. If drainage failures or base movement are present, reconstruction may be recommended. We provide on-site evaluations throughout Central Nebraska to determine the most cost-effective solution.

  • How long does construction or resurfacing take?

    Most resurfacing projects can be completed within 1–2 weeks depending on weather and scope. Full new construction timelines vary based on site conditions and project size.

  • Can work be completed during summer break?

    Yes. Many school districts in Grand Island, Kearney, Hastings, and surrounding communities schedule projects during summer months to minimize disruption. We coordinate timelines accordingly.

  • Do you work with general contractors on new school builds?

    Absolutely. We collaborate with GCs and engineering teams throughout South Central Nebraska to ensure the track base meets project specifications.
