Gravel Driveway Repair and Installation for New Homes and Businesses in Southbury is Getting More Popular Lately Due to the Reduced Up-Front Costs
VP Asphalt Paving knows driveway repair and the materials used to repair your driveways in Southbury can vary quite a bit. Some homes use bank-run gravel for the base of the driveway and then top it off with a 4-6 inch finish layer of 3/4 inch processed stone which we truck in locally from the O&G quarry located at 144 Bacon Pond Rd, in Woodbury, Connecticut. Our driveway repair company in Southbury also recycles and installs asphalt millings. Fine and rough asphalt millings make a great base for either a gravel stone type driveway or an asphalt paved driveway. It mostly comes down to cost and availability. Sometimes asphalt millings are hard to get depending on how much highway or roadway resurfacing is going on in New Haven County and surrounding towns near Southbury. Some residents like us to use millings to repair their gravel driveways but more often than not, if the original base of the roughed-in driveway or commercial parking lot has been done with bank-run or river gravel, we'll install processed stone and or stone dust as the finish layer of the driveway.
If your gravel driveway in Southbury has a problem with drainage or is constantly washing out after heavy Spring rains, or from thunderstorm downpours during the Summer months fret not!

What the Heck Are Asphalt Millings?
Asphalt millings are ground-up recycled asphalt. The asphalt might have begun life as an interstate or airplane tarmac. After asphalt's useful life is over, the product is removed, crushed, and redistributed as millings to use for repairing gravel and asphalt driveways in Southbury, Connecticut.
There is new research and processes out on better ways to recycle asphalt millings more environmentally friendly and more cost-effective. Check out the new patent for recycling millings on Google right here.
Please consider that Asphalt Millings/RAP can be processed or unprocessed. Unprocessed material can be delivered straight from the generating source, such as a milling machine. Unprocessed millings may contain chunks or slabs of pavement. Asphalt Millings are designed for use as an aggregate layer for either a base course, where another layer of material can be placed or as a finishing course that can be the final riding surface.
Crushing and screening RAP results in a uniform sized material varying from 1/2" to 2" top size chunks or aggregates. Yes, you can put a final top coat of hot asphalt on top of a base layer of asphalt millings. You can also use asphalt millings as a base and top with 3/4 inch compacted processed stone if also desired. https://www.basicconstructionco.com/b...
Over time, your gravel drive will inevitably develop potholes. You can get a pick and shovel and even out the gravel, then tap it down, but this solution leaves a weak area that will only produce another pothole in the same place. Water can wreak havoc anywhere, especially with gravel driveways. If you’re seeing consistent problems with ruts, washouts, and graded berms, your driveway probably has drainage or soil porosity issues.
