Why Choose R.A.P. Milling?

Cost-Effective Resurfacing:
Milling uses recycled asphalt from existing surfaces, reducing material costs while delivering strong, functional results.

Eco-Friendly Solution:
R.A.P. reduces waste and environmental impact by repurposing materials that would otherwise be discarded.

Durable & Long-Lasting:
Properly milled and compacted recycled asphalt offers excellent stability, water resistance, and performance in all weather conditions.

Faster Project Turnaround:
Because you’re working with existing material, milling and compacting can be completed more quickly than full repaving.

Ideal for Rural & Low-Traffic Areas:
R.A.P. milling is a perfect choice for farm roads, driveways, construction yards, and industrial access routes where full paving may not be necessary.

Our Process

Site Evaluation:
We begin with a full assessment of your current surface, checking for grading issues, drainage needs, and surface deterioration.

Surface Milling:
Using advanced milling machines, we grind down the existing asphalt to a specific depth, reclaiming the material for reuse.

Base Preparation:
We grade and compact the milled material to ensure a stable, even surface. In some cases, additional gravel or base reinforcement is added for improved performance.

Compaction & Finishing:
The reclaimed asphalt is compacted using heavy rollers to create a solid, semi-bonded surface. This forms a durable finish that mimics fresh pavement at a lower cost.

Optional Add-Ons:
Depending on your use case, we can apply additional treatments like sealants or overlays to further strengthen and refine the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is R.A.P. milling exactly?
R.A.P. milling involves grinding down old asphalt surfaces and reusing that material to form a new, compacted surface without full replacement.

Is recycled asphalt as strong as new asphalt?
While it doesn’t provide the same structural strength as full-depth paving, R.A.P. is highly durable and ideal for many residential and low-traffic applications.

Can I sealcoat a milled asphalt surface?
In some cases, yes — especially if the surface has been well-compacted. We’ll advise you on the best maintenance plan based on your site.

Is this a good option for farm roads or gravel driveways?
Absolutely. R.A.P. milling is a significant upgrade from gravel and a great alternative to full asphalt paving for long driveways, farm roads, and access routes.

How long does a milled surface last?
With proper installation and occasional touch-ups, a R.A.P. surface can last 10+ years, depending on traffic and weather.

Is R.A.P. a good option for commercial lots?
It can be, especially for storage areas, overflow parking, equipment yards, and lots with light to moderate use.
