I had a driveway laid about six years ago using recycled asphalt. Your statement about its properties is exactly what I have experienced--recycled asphalt after a while is about as solid and durable as you could want. And a hell of a lot cheaper.
Very happy for you. He did treat you very good and I hope that you are able to do the same for him. I used same type material on my brothers drive when he was gone for a bit and when he got home with his boat, a little twenty eight foot inboard, he came home dark, tired and not really paying attention so when he made his coffee doughnut run then it was when he pulled back in that he really noticed it. He was shocked and it was the gift that kept on giving as he had a half mile driveway. He brought me coffee and doughnuts for a month. I had a old champion grader with a wing on it and it was nice to grab fines from ditch and mix with it. We only had a month of real nice weather and usually if he went fishing, then it was busted up in some showers and some days of rain then. He had his seventy year this year in march and past in first part of april. I have yet in my memory had as hot or long a dry spell as we had in this particular year of nineteen. Our dad were he about , would of been one hundred six in end of april. Odd how it kinda works your brain into think dumb stuff.
This is a brilliant solution. Reuse of recycled material, the whole compaction thing during summer, the quite driving surface, and the impressing rate of flow while spreading. I can’t think of a down side.
Sealing it in= downside. I've heard it can get grooves/ ruts ...and the tar can track into your car/ home. HAWKSEALE.COM claims to be able to fix that though.
I use recycled asphalt on all the rental buildings driveways and parking areas, it's great material. Living in the northeast we can plow the packed material just like regular pavement. Readily available too, as the highway departments are always scarifying roadways for repaving, so average wait time is typically 1 or 2 days, depending on truck availability. Great video, have a safe week! Doug@ the "ranch"
Thanks, Doug! The older part of my driveway came from the highway a mile from my house. I just happened to know the trucking company that was hauling away the milled asphalt and they sent my 6 super-dump loads for free😬
I used to work for R & G excavation out of scio. They were always great about letting us use equipment at home. Looks like the outfit you work for takes care of its employees.
Awesome job and video, you’re getting the handle on driving the drone; no more crashes we hope! Also, you must work for the best company in the US. 👍👍👍👍👍💙❤️💜💚👏👏👏👏👏
It's great when you work for a company that generates friends among its employees. I hired on at such a place in '68, and it was great. It's clear that D & T is a great place to work, given how they're willing to let you use equipment over the weekends and so forth. They probably treat everyone that way and, as a result, there's big-time loyalty to the company and among the employees. I'm sure you appreciate the good situation you're in. Enjoy!
Yes, I'm familiar with this material and it is great. As our plant's environmental engineer (now retired) I was responsible for disposal of all waste. I tried to make sure all asphalt and concrete removed went to some sort of recycle. It's always better than landfill.
Nearby town used this on park driveway few years ago, lasted only a few years then started to pothole and breakup very bad. Had a very good base under grindings also. Enjoyed the video, nice views
I have heard of similar failures. Anyone know what makes the difference? Hot climates vs cold? Time of year it's put down? Compactors? Other? I'd really like to use RA, if I can -- 0.9 miles of driveway is not cheap for new asphalt.
Actually is the crushed leftovers in quarries it's really good and it lets water filter through it into the soil, just have to compact it really good and it needs no maintenance
Wow....way to go on the bartering side of things.....nice to be able to exchange work when you can.....it will be a great driveway for sure......stay safe my friend........ :)
I hope you and you family are safe from the fires! We are up the road in Newberg. I have a fairly steep driveway, what would you suggest using before the rain comes?
There’s parts of it that you could probably sweep with a broom. I can drag my box blade over it to clean off leaves and fir needle without affecting it at all. It’s been four years for some of it.
@@NorthwestSawyer cool, I've been debating between gravel and asphalt millings. I want something I can maintain with my subcompact and a box blade. Worried the millings might harden too much in some areas and the box blade won't be able to turn it over to freshen it up.
@@JeffGmi once you lay it out, preferably during the heat of summer, you should never need to turn it over. It’ll harden up as if it had been paved. I’ve had zero potholes in my driveway and have even scraped snow off of it without damage.
I was thinking the same thing. Even without a chain, he could have drove it out while dumping. My guy drops gravel such that I don't have to touch it with my tractor. Oh well. Free is nice.
No kidding ! Crappy work... such a simple thing helps so much how complicated is this job anyways? Brutal. A company lost my business because they wouldn't do a simple dump as they drove out. Only piles they said and I said goodbye
Hey guy.. think I would be able to just use my end loader and maybe the back blade to spread it out properly? Or do i HAVE to have the box blade attachment? I am pretty good at back dragging and what not with the front end loader just trying to see if that would work.
What, are we twinsies now? Ha ha...nice documented video, Jason! Love the aerial shot. I do believe you did get the better end of the deal. Good for you man, it's sure gonna be nice come rain time.👍
@@NorthwestSawyer you should get a picture of you sawing the log with the man in the mural! It's interactive! Have a great weekend. We heading to the Oregon Vortex!
I will definitely show the rest of the process. Have you seen the videos of the very start from a year ago? I’m grading the asphalt to a minimum of 4” thick.
I started a year ago and the dozer blew a hydraulic line. I then dug a trench to lower my water line. This year is when I was able to actually grade the dirt out completely.
My dad worked for the city of St. Petersburg sometimes paving the streets. They called the chewed up asphalt turtle grit because the machine that dug out the asphalt looked like a turtle
I'm also in the PNW, western Oregon. My property is a lot like yours, lots of slopes. I could use some of that recycled asphalt. What model JD you running? Looks like you have a 4 series. I have a 3032e. I'm also watching your grapple video. I've got an Artillian grapple on the way. It's actually been sitting in Portland since the 21st waiting on the interline company to get their act together.
That dump truck sure must haul some serious weight with all of those axels. I learned something new today, I had no idea that recycled asphalt was even a thing. Makes sense since all of the highway road works crews are constantly chewing it up to repair and repave the public roadways.
It hauls the same as a tri axle, are government officials put load weight restrictions on the roads so more axles disperse the weight, less weight per axle.
@@NorthwestSawyer We say at our company “Mack and Kenworth will sell you every option but the driver”. Lol (30 years excavation in Boston. Love your videos Brother)
I'm going to share with you some old skool repairs. In the 70's al the way to the 90's there was no such thing as recycling concrete or asphalt. What I used to do to fix pot holes on my properties is I would find chunks of old asphalt which was free as they were just throwing it away. Reheat in a large metal container/burner, add a little used oil needed to soften up the chunks to break everything down to a workable consistency. Now don't be stupid as you overheat your pot you will catch yourself on fire. Asphalt softens up in lower temps... You do NOT need to go into the 400 degree range. Do NOT put a lot into your heating pot just enough to cover its surface or you are going to have a hard time at it. Dry vacuum the hole, spray some use motor oil around the area and start putting down the recycled asphalt. Tamp it down and apply some more. Lay down some 1 inch ply wood and run your truck/car over it a few times. Check to see it's to the contour of the rest of your surface area and apply more asphalt as needed. When done apply sand on top evenly and let it set. If you have to drive on it immediately then place some plywood over it and let it set for several days. My largest repair was a 1 x 3 foot rut that went down 4 to 6 inches. I took my time and just build it up in levels and it took me a few days (had plenty of time on my hands so no worries). The repair last 5 years before I got too old and I let you youngens do all of the labor. It's good to see people recycle things that were not done in the past.
That’s awesome! Now you can just run to Home Depot and buy a bag of cold mix. I had to cut a section of asphalt out of my parent’s driveway to repair a waterline that was leaking 6-7 years ago. The cold mix is still as solid as the rest of the driveway.
Why does the truck have so many wheels under it? I have never seen this before. Thank you for the great videos. I own a HM130 and just love the machine.
It’s because some States and counties require them to have more than one drop axle. Where in at it only has to have one and it carries the same amount of weight that dump truck in the video had. About 25 tons
curious questions, why didn't you have the truck driver spread the material as much as possible? I really like he recycled asphalt and recycled concrete products. Asphalt $14 per ton and concrete $12 per ton in my area if you haul it yourself. both products pack down very nicely and don't wash away.
Those are 25 ton loads. It’s too hard on the chassis and unstable with the box raise to drive around. Plus it gives me something to do while I wait for the next load😬
@@larryhoffman5858 Yup, me too. By a couple months. Tailgate spreading is practiced by many, mastered by few. Got to know your truck, your material and your overheads.
NS; BTDTGTTS ! Not only built a farm lane but a steep municipal road with asphalt millings ! Add some calcium chloride for winter heave and even some " cut oil " if local law permits . I've found the best results from using a motor grader and roller/V-compactor combo. We used a Cat 14 and a maintainer with the V-roller and calcium on the road. On the lane we used only a mini-grader and some cut oil, relying on truck traffic for serious compaction . Both are still there after nearly thirty years !
@@NorthwestSawyer You do know asphalt's binding agent is primarily an oil product and when its recycled more oil is added don't you ? Anyone with a lot of machinery always seems to have a lot of used oil , tank sump drainings etc . as well .
yep best material there is, best put geotextile under it stops it mixing with the soil, we used to use it for temporary timber yards. 5" on geotextile will support a lorry when it resets
1. Not any more toxic than the roads it traveled to get here. 2. It will settle and compact over time if left in a pile. But you can break it up fairly easily to use it.
Northwest Sawyer - Isn't this product higher maintenance that just a gravel driveway? Once it cracks and gets pot holes, do you have to tear it up like they do to city roads? How would you repair it?
Less maintenance has been my experience. I put this on another part of my driveway three years ago and haven’t had to touch it. I’ve plowed snow on it, ran my tractor, all types of abuse. I’m very happy with it.
Ok. The person I spoke with about this said it drains through. So, I have one person saying yes, to drain through and the other saying no. So, back to square one
@@hu5tle- If you get clean recycled asphalt, place and compact it while it’s warm out, it will bind together almost like a paved road. There may be some drainage but most of the water will run off the surface.
You won't be sorry, if well compacted it's very weed and erosion resistant and hardens like you wouldn't believe. Mine is down 15 years and still performing.
I have used this material a lot. Add a little water and hammer it in and it will last . I don't know why you have him pile it up instead of spreading it....
I was hoping that you were closer lol lol but have tons of trees would loved to get sawed I have one friend who said that he would do it over a year ago lol lol I have a John Deere 4720 and love it and always wonder what would happen if it turned over my farm is all on side of hill so I am always watching out for something like a roll over
That's a large dump bed 15 yards ?? I drove a 10 yard rig but I always spread it with the truck. Lay a even topping. Instead of a dump pile. Anyway I've got to do my driveway as well. Mabe I'll try to find that kind of material. Instead of 5/8 - minus. Forgot about your box blade. Yours is nice. It rolls that material out very well. Keep the mold board polished & waxed. Great video. Thank you.
This particular material wasn’t as clean as the first round I put down. For the most part it’s held up but it never really bound up as well as my main driveway which is as hard as asphalt.
Help of advice have the truck set chains at desired thickness and spread the load making it easier for you to grade I do asphalt road construction in il 👍🏻
Too bad he didn't spread that for you, just thinking out loud. That stuff is a wonderful driveway maker.( as you said.) "Fair exchange is no robbery", as I've heard said.
Its terribly expensive in SW MS. $40 a ton picked up. The stuff works good but its so light it is very prone to erosion as compared to crushed concrete or rocks on a slope. Recycled concrete and crushed rock are much cheaper as well.
@@NorthwestSawyer I am trying re-do a small parking lot behind my residential two car garage. It had gravel and now it's part grass weeds and mud. Will this asphalt material eliminate weeds and grass growing through the years?
We've used it and just Bc it's free it's not the best. It's actually getting harder to get unless it's crap. They reuse the majority of it here in new asphalt. We've sprayed dust control product on entire roads and it's still hit and miss.
I had a driveway laid about six years ago using recycled asphalt. Your statement about its properties is exactly what I have experienced--recycled asphalt after a while is about as solid and durable as you could want. And a hell of a lot cheaper.

They’re an awesome setup. 25 ton capacity.
What GVW are they allowed? We're allowed 80,000 w/tri-axles. 50,000lb load is a helluva jag!!!
I’ll have to ask him about that.

We need to get some of this for our driveway. How does it hold up when you plow snow on it?
My dad worked for the city of St. Petersburg sometimes paving the streets. They called the chewed up asphalt turtle grit because the machine that dug out the asphalt looked like a turtle
We are in the process of doing the same thing. We are going to spread it and on a hot day, we will rent a roller and really smooth it out
I think I’ll bring a roller home once I have it all finished too.
Could have spread the load made alot more work for u
I live in Yelm Wa in Northwest is your buddy very close by that got the asphalt for you? I need a small driveway but think I'll use recycled concrete.
That came out of Wilsonville but I think we’re out of it right now. Recycled concrete works well also.

Does anyone have the answer to my question-Is recycled asphalt cheaper than gravel? And are they priced by loads or weight? Just curious.
It’s typically cheaper than crushed rock. Suppliers can charge by the load or per ton. It varies.
I know this driver did you get the grinding from carver rock
No. We crushed this at our yard.
1. is it considered toxic ?
2. if I store it in a pile will it turn rock hard ?
1. Not any more toxic than the roads it traveled to get here.
2. It will settle and compact over time if left in a pile. But you can break it up fairly easily to use it.
Great video
What's a truckload of this stuff usually going for, with today's high materials costs?
360.00
Typical truck driver dump it in one pile twice as wide as the driveway. String the load out a little bit it.
Put some water on it to make it really compact good
two questions. Is there anywhere in your site that needs geo textile under the RA? And how deep did you lay it?
No, sir. Subgrade is solid. I’m laying it out at least 4” thick but try to maintain 6”
Northwest Sawyer - Isn't this product higher maintenance that just a gravel driveway?
Once it cracks and gets pot holes, do you have to tear it up like they do to city roads?
How would you repair it?
Less maintenance has been my experience. I put this on another part of my driveway three years ago and haven’t had to touch it. I’ve plowed snow on it, ran my tractor, all types of abuse. I’m very happy with it.
@@NorthwestSawyer - Good to know.
Thank you for replying.
Do you know if this asphalt drains through?
It doesn’t. It seals up like a paved road.
Ok. The person I spoke with about this said it drains through. So, I have one person saying yes, to drain through and the other saying no. So, back to square one
@@hu5tle- If you get clean recycled asphalt, place and compact it while it’s warm out, it will bind together almost like a paved road. There may be some drainage but most of the water will run off the surface.
Thanks!
'Fair exchange is no robbery'.. 👍 🇬🇧
You won't be sorry, if well compacted it's very weed and erosion resistant and hardens like you wouldn't believe.
Mine is down 15 years and still performing.
I used this on the other part of my driveway a few years ago and it’s completely solid
@@NorthwestSawyer Could you do an update video when the fall season hits? Show us how this one's hardened up and what your older driveway looks like?
Thats a big load so it may be too hard on the hoist and chassis to have it up in the air whilst driving.
You’re the only one who seems to understand that. 👍👍
Does that truck have Spreader Chains on the Gate
Yes but only for very flat, level ground. This slope was too much to try and spread on.
I have used this material a lot. Add a little water and hammer it in and it will last . I don't know why you have him pile it up instead of spreading it....
Looks great
I now you have a saw mill I live outside of Aberdeen.wa were you out of I have tons of trees to mill
I’m in Estacada, Oregon.
I was hoping that you were closer lol lol but have tons of trees would loved to get sawed I have one friend who said that he would do it over a year ago lol lol I have a John Deere 4720 and love it and always wonder what would happen if it turned over my farm is all on side of hill so I am always watching out for something like a roll over
If you contact Wood-Mizer, they can put you in contact with a Sawyer in your area.
That's a large dump bed 15 yards ??
I drove a 10 yard rig but I always spread it with the truck. Lay a even topping. Instead of a dump pile. Anyway I've got to do my driveway as well.
Mabe I'll try to find that kind of material. Instead of 5/8 - minus.
Forgot about your box blade. Yours is nice. It rolls that material out very well. Keep the mold board polished & waxed. Great video.
Thank you.
Thanks, Roger. That’s closer to 18-20 yards and 25 tons.
How has it held up to erosion ?
This particular material wasn’t as clean as the first round I put down. For the most part it’s held up but it never really bound up as well as my main driveway which is as hard as asphalt.
Good video, thanks
Help of advice have the truck set chains at desired thickness and spread the load making it easier for you to grade I do asphalt road construction in il 👍🏻
Too bad he didn't spread that for you, just thinking out loud. That stuff is a wonderful driveway maker.( as you said.)
"Fair exchange is no robbery", as I've heard said.
If he spread it for me, I’d have nothing to do for two hours while I wait for him to come back😬
@@NorthwestSawyer Now I didn't think of it that way!!! LOL!
My experience with that material is not good it won’t set back up its like sand we had to push it off and come back with rock
How long did it take to set up and get hard?
Good video buddy. I wonder ball park what that costs a ton?
I’ll look into that. Far less than asphalt I can promise you😬
Cool. I'm not even sure if its readily available where I live I was just curious if it compared to base rock price wise
Its terribly expensive in SW MS. $40 a ton picked up. The stuff works good but its so light it is very prone to erosion as compared to crushed concrete or rocks on a slope. Recycled concrete and crushed rock are much cheaper as well.
That place is looking asome
Nice reuse of materials!
Where can I get crushed asphalt at?
Most gravel suppliers offer it.
@@NorthwestSawyer I am trying re-do a small parking lot behind my residential two car garage. It had gravel and now it's part grass weeds and mud. Will this asphalt material eliminate weeds and grass growing through the years?
Where do you get that at?
Most rock pits should carry it or be able to tell you where to get it.
We've used it and just Bc it's free it's not the best. It's actually getting harder to get unless it's crap. They reuse the majority of it here in new asphalt. We've sprayed dust control product on entire roads and it's still hit and miss.
What is that dump truck called with axle in the air like that.
That is a seven-axle “super-solo”
@@NorthwestSawyer am I right in thinking that's a fifth wheel Dolly for a trailer?
No, sir. That is called a strong arm. It swings down when on the road loaded for additional support.
Wow thanks...never seen a dump truck like that here in southern Wisconsin.
I wonder why that is, Jim? They’re all over the place here on the west coast.
