We’ve all seen roads torn up and chunks of asphalt hauled away. Oftentimes, this is followed by a fresh layer of asphalt, but now there’s another option. Today we’ll explore how you can use recycled asphalt for your driveway renovation, saving you money and saving the environment. Keep reading to find out more, and visit our blog to learn how YRock Trucking has all the materials for your project.
Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is asphalt that has been excavated and saved from old roads and projects. It’s then hauled to an asphalt recycling plant. There, it’s available for us to use in our upcoming projects. It’s an economical choice that cuts down on carbon emissions.
So how does it work? RAP is ground down into aggregate size at the recycling plant. From there it’s compacted, and the material becomes incredibly hard. This makes it a great choice for use as driveways as it’s cost-efficient and strong.
Another reason to choose a RAP driveway is that it has excellent percolation. This means the water from rain will drain well instead of pooling in the driveway if it is properly pitched, which could cause issues later on. It’s important to look for solutions that will be right for your area. Here at YRock Trucking, we know our Central Florida audience.
Now on to the cons of using RAP for your home. The appearance of RAP is often quite different and varied than usual asphalt. This can be great for homeowners looking to stand out, but it will not feature the deep black of a freshly poured asphalt driveway. In addition, there can be serious changes in the product depending on what the batch was made of. However, rest assured that YRock Trucking will haul and deliver exactly what you need.
