How do you make asphalt millings hard?

Spread them on a graded base, wet them and compact them with a vibratory roller. Heat and traffic soften the old binder so they knit together over the following months. Some owners also spray an asphalt emulsion or sealer once the drive has set.

Can you seal asphalt millings?

Yes. After the driveway has been compacted and has had time to firm up, a sealer or asphalt emulsion can bind the surface and cut down loose pieces. We deliver the millings; sealing is done by you or a paving contractor.

Do asphalt millings need to be compacted?

Yes. Loose millings stay loose. Rolling them damp is what turns them into a driveway surface.

How much do asphalt millings cost?

It depends on your ZIP and how much you order. Delivery is included. Smaller loads cost more per ton. Enter your ZIP above for your exact delivered price.

Are asphalt millings better than gravel?

For a driveway surface, often yes: they pack firmer and move less. Gravel like #57 crushed concrete drains better and is the better pick for drains and under pads.

Can you put asphalt millings over gravel?

Yes. A compacted gravel or limerock drive makes a good base: grade it, then roll 2–3 in of millings on top.

What are asphalt millings?

Asphalt millings are what's left when road crews grind the top layer off an old asphalt road or parking lot before repaving. The ground-up pieces are stone still coated in some of the original asphalt binder. They're also called recycled asphalt, crushed asphalt, RAP (recycled asphalt pavement) or asphalt grindings.

Are asphalt millings good for a driveway?

Yes, especially long driveways and farm roads where paving costs too much. Rolled down, they pack into a firm, dark surface that sheds water and doesn't wander like loose gravel. They won't look or wear like fresh blacktop: expect some loose pieces at the edges and occasional touch-ups.

How to make asphalt millings hard

Grade the base, spread the millings 3–4 in deep, wet them and compact them with a vibratory roller (a plate compactor works for small areas). Florida sun and traffic soften the old binder and help them knit together over the following months.

Millings vs gravel and road base

Millings stay put better than gravel and look like a dark drive. In Tampa today they're $60.97/ton delivered on a full truck, vs $71.51/ton for #57 crushed concrete and $48.24/ton for crushed concrete road base.

What to expect when your asphalt millings are delivered

Where will the truck dump it?

Dumped from the street or driveway.

Do I need to be home?

Best if someone is there to show the driver the spot. Not required: ask for a photo of the drop.

Will it be spread?

No. Millings arrive in one pile and aren't spread or rolled on site. Plan a skid steer or tractor to spread them and a roller to compact them.

Can the truck reach my backyard?

A backyard works if the entrance is wide enough. Off the public road, you take responsibility for any damage.

How much fits on one truck?

About 21 tons. Larger orders arrive in several loads. The minimum order is 1 ton; small loads cost more per ton because delivery is included in the price, with no separate delivery fee.
