Best uses in this city
Asphalt millings stick to existing asphalt when compacted, making them the top choice for filling potholes, topping worn driveway layers, and sealing small cracks without the cost of complete resurfacing. They also work well as a base layer under new asphalt, as gravel for temporary roads and parking areas, and for stabilizing driveways on clay soil common in central Missouri. The black recycled aggregate absorbs heat in spring and compacts firmly when rolled, creating a stable wearing surface. Many Columbia homeowners choose millings for seasonal driveway touch-ups that extend the life of their asphalt by several years. Contractors use millings for equipment pad preparation, temporary access roads, and pothole patching on job sites throughout the region.

How much you need
Calculate the volume of your project by multiplying length times width times depth in inches, then dividing by 324 to convert cubic inches to cubic yards. A ton of asphalt millings covers about 80 to 100 square feet at two inches deep, depending on how firmly you compact it. Use the calculator to size your order, then add a half ton for waste and settling. For projects spanning multiple phases, it often makes sense to round up to the next full ton to avoid multiple delivery fees. A typical residential driveway of 500 square feet at two inches deep requires about five to six tons of material when compacted properly.

About Asphalt Millings
Asphalt millings are fragments of recycled asphalt pavement milled from road and parking lot resurfacing. The black aggregate pieces retain the binding properties of the original asphalt, allowing them to re-compact and knit together when placed on an existing asphalt layer. This recycled material offers a cost-effective solution for driveway repairs, pothole filling, base layer preparation, and temporary road construction. A ton of millings covers roughly 80 to 100 square feet when laid two inches deep and compacted, making it an efficient choice for both small residential projects and larger commercial applications. The material compacts firmly under a roller or vehicle traffic, creating a stable wearing surface that lasts for several years.

What is asphalt millings?
Asphalt millings are recycled fragments of asphalt pavement that have been milled off roads and parking lots during resurfacing. The black aggregate pieces range from dust to gravel size and still retain the binding properties of the original asphalt, allowing them to re-compact and bond when placed on existing asphalt. This recycled material is cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
Can I use asphalt millings on a gravel driveway?
Asphalt millings are most effective on existing asphalt. On bare gravel or soil, they will not lock together as firmly. If your driveway is mostly bare material or soil, lay crushed stone as a compacted base layer first, then top with millings once you have an asphalt layer to work with.
How long does asphalt millings delivery take in Columbia?
Delivery takes one to two business days for orders under eight tons, or the same or next day for eight tons and up. Bulk orders of 15 tons or more qualify for complimentary delivery. Your order confirmation will show your delivery window once our dispatch team schedules your truck route.
How deep should I lay asphalt millings?
For filling potholes and ruts, one to two inches is typical. For resurfacing an existing driveway, two to four inches provides a durable new layer that will compact and bond to the old asphalt underneath. Deeper layers take more material but offer longer-lasting results. Compact with a heavy roller or drive over it repeatedly to knit the fragments together.
Do asphalt millings stay in place in summer heat?
Asphalt millings can soften slightly in extreme summer heat if they are very loose and uncompacted. Once they are rolled or driven on, they compact into a stable layer that stays firm through normal heat cycles. If your driveway is in direct sun with no shade, compact thoroughly and avoid parking for several hours on the hottest days right after installation.
How much does a ton of asphalt millings cost?
In Columbia, the delivered price depends on your order size and location. Enter your ZIP code during checkout to see your exact total. Larger orders qualify for better per-ton rates, and orders of 15 tons or more include free delivery to Columbia.
What equipment do I need to spread asphalt millings?
A shovel, wheelbarrow or small equipment like a skid steer loader can spread millings across your driveway. A heavy roller, compactor or just driving over the area repeatedly with a vehicle will compact the material and help the fragments bond. Small homeowner projects often work fine manually, while bigger jobs benefit from equipment rental.
Can I order just a few tons of asphalt millings?
Yes, we deliver orders as small as three tons. Small orders cost more per ton because the delivery fee is the same regardless of volume, so it spreads across fewer tons. Minimum order is three tons. Consider pooling your order with a neighbor's project to reach the eight-ton threshold for a better per-ton rate.
