Asphalt Millings delivery in Norfolk, MA

The town has a quiet, rural feel, helped along by the Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary and plenty of open land near the commuter rail stop. Many Norfolk homes sit on larger, wooded lots with long driveways, so orders here often run bigger than average.

In Norfolk, long private driveways and barn or shed pads are where most base material ends up. For that reason, asphalt millings is a regular order in Norfolk. In short, our Screened Asphalt Millings is recycled asphalt that packs down hard for driveways and lots, and it is sold by the cubic yard.

Why Norfolk 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.

Popular uses for asphalt millings in Norfolk

Homeowners and contractors in Norfolk put asphalt millings to work in many ways. Millings are a practical surface for areas that see vehicles:

• Farm lanes and access roads

• Pull-offs and shoulders along a drive

How much asphalt millings does a Norfolk 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 Norfolk job of about 900 square feet needs roughly 8.5 yards at 3 inches, or 11 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 Norfolk, MA

We deliver asphalt millings in Norfolk, MA by truck, placing the pile where you want it. Long Norfolk driveways are common. So tell us how far back the pile should go and whether the surface is paved, gravel or soft ground.

1. Book the load. Call or send a quote request with the amount of asphalt millings and your Norfolk 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 Norfolk customers, the yard is a short drive south, so a pickup truck can make more than one run in a morning. 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 Norfolk.

When to order asphalt millings in Norfolk

Base work goes best when the ground is dry and firm. So late spring through fall is the prime season in Norfolk. 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.
