Yes, when installed correctly. Compacted millings shed water rather than absorbing it, and the bitumen binder keeps the surface intact under heavy rain. For storm-prone yards, install with a slight slope so water sheets off to the sides. Standing water at low spots will soften any surface over time, millings included. If a storm hits a freshly delivered, uncompacted pile, the binder is not water-soluble so material does not wash away. Compact as soon as the ground dries out.

For a new residential driveway over prepared base, plan on 4 inches of compacted millings. For occasional truck, RV, or heavy equipment traffic, go to 6 inches and lay it in two lifts. For resurfacing an existing gravel or millings drive, 2 inches is usually enough. Always compact in lifts no thicker than 2-3 inches so the binder bonds layer to layer.

On firm, well-drained soil you can install millings directly over a graded subgrade after scraping vegetation. On soft sand, clay, or anywhere water pools after a thunderstorm, put down 3-4 inches of crushed concrete or limerock first and compact it before the millings go on. A layer of woven geotextile fabric between the soil and the base helps on soft ground and stops the base from sinking into the dirt. Skipping the base on poor soil is the most common reason driveways rut and develop potholes within the first year.

Both are recycled, budget-friendly driveway materials, but they behave differently. Asphalt millings contain residual bitumen that re-bonds in heat, creating a semi-hard, dark-colored surface that sheds water like asphalt. Crushed concrete compacts dense but stays lighter gray and remains more porous, making it better for drainage-heavy sites. Millings are generally preferred for the look and feel of asphalt at a fraction of the cost. Crushed concrete is preferred when you want a stable base under pavers or a lighter-colored finish.

Gradation, color, and binder content vary slightly between batches because millings come from different road and parking lot sources. We screen to a consistent top size, but expect minor differences in fines content and color from one truckload to the next.

Recycled asphalt millings are pieces of old asphalt pavement that have been ground up and reused as a driveway or road surface material. The pieces are mixed sizes, dark black to gray in color. They still contain a small amount of the original bitumen, which allows them to harden over time as they compact and sun-cure, locking together into a semi-solid surface. We deliver bulk recycled asphalt millings across Florida by standard dump truck.

Asphalt millings are most often used as a durable, cost-effective surface for long driveways, rural lanes, and parking pads. They also work well for staging areas, jobsite access roads, and patching worn spots. Because they compact tightly and harden over time, they can also serve as a sub-base stabilizer underneath other surfaces. They are not the right choice for pure drainage applications where water needs to flow freely. Not sure if millings are the right material for your project?

Yes. We deliver bulk recycled asphalt millings across Florida, including Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando, Lakeland, Clearwater, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Port St. Lucie, West Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hialeah, and Miami, plus surrounding areas. Order online, enter your ZIP for an all-in delivered price with no hidden fees, pick a delivery date, and a dump truck drops your millings at the most accessible spot on your property. Someone must be available on site to receive the delivery.

At a typical 2-inch depth, 1 ton of recycled asphalt millings covers about 100 square feet, so a 1,000 sq ft area needs roughly 10 tons. For a proper driveway surface at 3-4 inches over a compacted base, plan on 20-27 tons for 1,000 sq ft. A standard dump truck maxes out at 20 tons per load, so deeper or larger driveways may need two loads. Use our materials calculator for an exact number based on your dimensions.
