Paving on the Plains of Northern Weld County

Paving contractors in Nunn work on open plains between Cheyenne and Greeley. Nunn is a statutory town in Weld County at about 5,214 feet, along US 85. The 2020 census counted 504 residents. Most work here is driveways, long rural drives, shop pads and small community lots.

A town named for a hero

Nunn was incorporated on March 28, 1908, and a post office called Nunn has operated since 1905. The town is named for William Silas Nunn, who was credited with preventing a nearby train wreck. Its population has moved slowly: 324 in 1990, 471 in 2000, 416 in 2010 and 504 in 2020.

Weld County access

Outside town limits, new or changed accesses onto Weld County roads require a county access permit, filed through the county E-Permit Center with four photos of the access point, looking each way along the road, toward the access and across the road. If a paved access will meet a paved road, a right-of-way permit with insurance and a traffic control plan may also be needed. We check before any rural work is scheduled.

Wind and drifts

Northern Weld County is open and windy. Drifts pile against driveway edges and melt into the soil. Supported edges, a slight crown and clear ditches help pavement last.

Choosing surfaces

For long drives, compacted recycled asphalt millings are economical; Angi lists them at about $3 to $8 per square foot installed. Hot-mix, which HomeGuide lists at $5 to $12 or more per square foot for driveways, suits the house end, shop aprons and turnarounds.

Homes in town

In-town driveways are short and many are older. If patches keep failing, the base needs rebuilding; if the driveway is sound, crack sealing and a sealcoat keep it going.

Scheduling

Nunn is about 30 miles south of Cheyenne. Travel is included in the estimate.

What owners here usually ask for

In and around Nunn, we see first-time paving of house aprons, long rural drives in millings, shop pads, and repairs to older in-town driveways.
