Crushed & Base
Crushed Asphalt
Crushed asphalt is recycled roadway milled down to a workable size. Sun and traffic re-bind the asphalt binder over time, so a properly compacted drive tightens into a firm, dark surface at a fraction of the cost of new pavement.
What it is used for
- Budget driveways and long rural drives
- Equipment and RV parking pads
- Resurfacing a rutted gravel drive
- Ranch and shop access roads
Depth & coverage
Recommended depth
4 inches compacted over a prepared subgrade; 6 inches for heavy trucks.
Coverage
One cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at 4 inches deep.
Installation tips
- 1Roll it in during warm weather. Heat is what knits the binder together.
- 2Crown the drive slightly so water sheds to the sides.
- 3Expect to top-dress lightly every few years in high-traffic tire tracks.
