Why Medway customers choose our asphalt millings

When roads are resurfaced, the old asphalt is ground up rather than thrown away. That ground material is called millings. We screen it so the pieces are a consistent size, which makes it easier to spread and compact.

The pieces still contain asphalt binder. So when they are compacted, especially on a warm day, they knit together into a firm surface. In fact, a well-rolled millings driveway looks a lot like old pavement from a distance.

How much asphalt millings does a Medway project need?

First, measure the area in feet and multiply length by width. Then multiply by the depth in inches and divide by 324. The result is cubic yards, which is how we sell asphalt millings. Plan on 3 to 4 inches of asphalt millings, compacted, over a firm base. Soft or wet ground, on the other hand, may need more base first.

For example, a typical Medway job of about 750 square feet needs roughly 7 yards at 3 inches, or 9.5 yards at 4 inches. Still, round up by half a yard for edges and settling. Or call (774) 372-1050, and we will check the math before the truck is loaded.

Delivery or pickup for Medway, MA

We deliver asphalt millings in Medway, MA by truck, placing the pile where you want it. Some Medway village streets are narrow, and a few lots near the river stay soft after rain. So mention wet ground or tight access when you book.

1. Book the load. Call or send a quote request with the amount of asphalt millings and your Medway address.
2. Pick the drop spot. Next, choose firm, open ground close to the work area, clear of wires and branches.
3. Protect the surface. Then lay a tarp or plywood on pavement, so cleanup takes minutes.
4. Meet the truck. Finally, the driver calls ahead and places the pile as close to your spot as the ground safely allows.

Picking up at the yard

For Medway customers, the yard is a straight drive south, so contractors often pick up and head back to the job. As a rule, a full-size pickup carries about about 1 yard of this material safely. So check your payload rating, and bring a tarp for the ride back to Medway.

When to order asphalt millings in Medway

Base work goes best when the ground is dry and firm. So late spring through fall is the prime season in Medway. In addition, plan driveway and patio projects before the first hard frost, because compaction is difficult on frozen ground.

How to lay an asphalt millings driveway

1. Prep the base. Remove sod and soft soil, then grade the drive so water runs to the sides.
2. Spread evenly. Spread the millings about 2 inches at a time. Next, rake out any piles and fill low spots.
3. Compact well. Roll or plate-compact each layer. In fact, compaction is what turns loose millings into a hard surface.
4. Use the heat. Warm, sunny days help the binder soften and bond. So summer is the best time to install.
5. Maintain it. Finally, fill potholes with fresh millings and tamp them in whenever they appear.
