Get matched with top asphalt paving installers in your area

Asphalt millings create a tough, budget-friendly driveway that stands up to heavy rain. The recycled mix compacts into a smooth surface that sheds water instead of letting it pool, which helps keep cracks at bay and reduces future upkeep. Plan on resealing and re-compacting every few years to keep the driveway tight and looking fresh.

Yes. Most paving crews can grind up your existing asphalt and turn it into new millings on the spot. The process reuses about 80% of the original material, which cuts landfill waste, conserves raw resources, and trims your material bill. Those savings, plus the long life span of recycled asphalt, make it a smart, eco-minded upgrade for driveways, patios, or play courts.

Hold off for about seven days before you drive or park on fresh millings. That cure time lets the pieces lock together and harden, giving the driveway the density it needs to handle daily traffic. Skipping the wait can leave ruts or weak spots, so a little patience now protects your long-term investment.

Absolutely. New asphalt runs $90 to $190 per ton, while millings average just $10 to $20—a potential ten-fold savings on material alone. Lower costs don’t mean lower quality, either. When properly compacted, recycled asphalt delivers the same durability plus eco benefits, so you can save money and still get a solid, long-lasting drive.
