What are Asphalt Millings?
Asphalt millings are the reclaimed materials from road resurfacing projects. This recycled product is ground into uniform pieces that, when properly installed, create a semi-solid surface that combines the best qualities of both gravel and asphalt.
Unlike loose gravel, millings partially rebind under pressure and heat, forming a more stable surface that reduces dust and stone displacement. And unlike new asphalt, millings offer better drainage, greater flexibility during freeze-thaw cycles, and significantly lower installation costs.
Benefits of Asphalt Millings Driveways
Asphalt millings driveways offer unique advantages that make them an excellent choice for Ohio properties:
- More affordable than new asphalt (typically 40-60% less expensive)
- More stable than traditional gravel with less displacement
- Reduced dust compared to standard gravel driveways
- Semi-binding properties that create a smoother driving surface
- Environmentally responsible use of recycled materials
- Excellent durability in Ohio’s challenging freeze-thaw cycles
- Quick installation with immediate use
Proper Drainage for Asphalt Millings Driveways
While millings offer better water permeability than solid asphalt, proper drainage remains essential for maximum driveway life. Our comprehensive approach includes:
- Correct crowning and slope for effective water runoff
- Culvert installation where driveways meet roadways
- Strategic ditching for water management
- Proper base preparation to prevent water pooling
By addressing these drainage elements during installation, we create millings driveways that resist erosion, prevent washouts, and maintain their integrity season after season.
