Often referred to as recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), recycled asphalt is simply old asphalt that is then ground to size. When it’s compacted, the material is able to bind together over time, but will not turn into a surface as hot-mix asphalt. This makes it a great pick for use on driveways because it serves as a strong and cost-efficient base or sub-base material.
For best results, the material should be professionally spread after properly grading and excavating the driveway. Once the material has been uniformly applied and compacted with a roller. The result is an attractive, sturdy and budget-friendly residential drive.
