🛣️ Asphalt Millings
Q: What are asphalt millings?
A: Millings are recycled bits of asphalt that come from old roads and driveways. They compact tightly and offer a budget friendly, semi paved feel without the cost of fresh asphalt.

A: Yes! Millings are durable, affordable, and great for preventing washout. Over time, they bind together with heat and traffic, creating a solid surface.
Q: Will millings look like a paved driveway?
A: They won’t look exactly like fresh blacktop, but they do offer a smoother, darker, and more uniform appearance than plain gravel.
Q: Do you compact the millings after spreading?
A: We sure do. Proper compaction is key for a smooth, long-lasting finish. We use heavy equipment to make sure it’s packed and ready to perform.
