of Recycled Asphalt Millings
≈ 11.4 yd³ · covers 720 sq ft at 4″ · 1 dump truck
720 sq ft × 4 in ÷ 12 ÷ 27 = 8.89 yd³ × 1.4 t/yd³ = 12.4 tons. Plus 25% for compaction and spreading, rounded up to a whole ton.

About this material: Recycled Asphalt Millings →
How much does a ton of crushed concrete and millings cover?
Cubic yards = area (sq ft) × depth (in) ÷ 12 ÷ 27. Tons = cubic yards × the material’s density. The calculator then adds the buffer for compaction and spreading and rounds up. Tons use our catalog densities: asphalt millings 1.4 t/yd³; crushed concrete road base 1.35 t/yd³; crushed concrete paver base 1.3 t/yd³; #57 crushed concrete 1.2 t/yd³.

Skipping the base layer
A single layer of millings or #57 concrete on bare soil ruts and washes within a season. Build a compacted road-base layer first, then the wear course on top.
Asphalt millings without traffic
Millings need traffic and warm Florida weather to bind and harden. A driveway that sits idle never sets up. Drive it and roll it once a week for the first month.
Crushed concrete in a French drain
#57 crushed concrete works for general drainage, but the bits of rebar and slight fines make it less ideal around perforated pipe in critical drains. Use virgin #57 stone there.
No fabric under the base
Without geotextile fabric between the subgrade and the road base, fines pump up into the recycled aggregate within a couple seasons. Always lay fabric on Florida sand subgrade.
Wrong recycled product for the job
Paver base is fine, screedable material; road base is coarse and structural. Substituting one for the other gives you a lumpy paver bed or a base that will not compact.
