Excellent job. Very efficient. Great training ground for hot mix.

Alsmot went this route. But decided 3 inch reclaim 3 inch asphalt 💯👊 nice finish 👍

Ive done aloot of recycled in my day never seen it laid with a paver looks awesome!

we use a lot of that stuff in Florida and if you lay it down in the heat of the summer and roll it out real good it holds up very nicely.

Great work and video!

Very good clean job 👏

Great video and content. Liked Shared and Subscribed!

Man that looks good

Great video! I’m going DIY my driveways and save money. These guys want $2-3 per sqft installed. I can get it done myself for much less.

Looks good! A little cheaper, but still a great alternative!

Great job.

Looks so good

Good work

I seen some contractors use ground up/recycled asphalt that was pulled up from other work sites. Instead of using crushed stone or other aggregate, they use this reclaimed asphalt. Is this an alternate way of putting down a base for new asphalt to sit on? I use to deliver construction materials of all kinds, and every job site that waited to get my turn to unload, I watched dump truck after dump truck, unload stone. My question pertains to residential building, not commercial. Great site by the way.

Looks like a million bucks.

Where these screened millings or fresh off the mill? After compacted how well do they hold up?

Fillings are very fresh from the asphalt plant they will never go anywhere as long as they are installed correctly milling's can hold up to 5 to 10 years

Nice video I just had my driveway done just like this. But I haven't put any sealer on it like you did. But I'm curious about putting sealer down later on. My driveway is closed to 600ft long with a hill on part of it.

Haven't use reclaim. They say the best method is to have it ready and spray it before for a 90 degree day, spray the reclaim with diesel and compact it the following day for the do it your DIY. You can use a vibrating compactor.

some agency's around the US are looking at millings from an environmental stand point now. Do they pollute ground water? Do they pollute the ground? We have to protect all catch basins with witch hats when we mill. The water run off from our milling piles at our plants has to be collected as sewer waste, storm waste. Get ready for it, because it is coming. We have one plant where the jurisdiction wont even let us use RAP in our plant due to environmental concerns

also recycled will have pebbles, like rock debris that comes up, what i genuinely liked to do was roll it and let the customers drive on it but alternate there driving postitions for equal compaction as they continue to drive, 1 year down the line it will look rough but it will be durable so a sealcoat would definitely help make it look better because they do look fade after awhile
