I found a guy taking up a bunch of concrete, he was going to have to pay to get rid of it, he ended uo bring it to me, He told me it was 180k pounds od concrete, while most of it did not have wire there was some that did, and it was a pain, ended up renting a jack hammer for it, but the regular concrete was broken down into manageable pieces with a 12# sledge hammer, I'm filling a hole that the previous land owner dug out it measured roughly 40' X 60' deep, dug into a hillside and went from ground level to 8-10' ft deep at the back😬, I been using all kinds of fill, quite the job, I like the way your drive turned out, thinking of using Crushed concrete here on my drive for base, but really liking the asphalt millings for topping it off👍
I had 2 dump truck loads of millings delivered, I spread it and leveled it in the late fall season. Come early spring i ordered 2 pails of condensed hawkseal-E The rainy winter weather washed out my tar and so when i finally had warm enough weather to apply the hawkseal it dis not work as expected because theyop layer was mostly gravelly.. sad
Nice job dude. Couple of questions: 1) why did you use sand instead of stone dust? 2) noticed you grabbed the grade 1 milling with your hand. Doesn’t it bind together? 3. Did you use a roller on your 3 point hitch?
sand was cheap and i needed dozens of trucks for the house build already, not to mention that area was very heavy wet black dirt on clay so the sand thins it so to speak, allows good drainage. at some degree it binds. it doesn't move or create much dust. like it doesn't show on vehicles at all. i rolled it with a tractor, yes, a 1,000lbs roller i already had.
hey man see the divot at 1:38 on the right ? i can tell you have heavy trucks in!! just keep packing it by moving your tires on the edge of that seam and it will pack!!
probably not thick enough if it was recent. no way weeds would grow through 4-5 inches of millings. if it was a while ago new sand or dirt on top would allow for seeds to grow within.
I haven't plowed, I use a mid mounted snow blower. Either way with a little skill it works fine. just pick your hydraulics up a 1/2 inch or so, so you don't dig and it works fine. Like any stone or gravel drive a good first packing of the snow always helps so you don't eat it up. Not only that I've had more dump trucks and cement trucks here and a quick fresh drag cleans it up well.
it depends on how bad it is but they make a rubber crack fill you pour in cracks and bags of sticky asphalt pot hole repair stuff you can get at any home repair store, I'd use that. fill cracks with liquid rubber, patch the low spots and tamp it down with the 50lbs bag material. could even spread a seal coat over the top to blend the colors. if your driveway isn't terrible that will buy a few years for sure, I've done it before. good luck.
@@GarmingGFB the alligator cracking is a lot. It’s really due for a tear and rebuild. I was hoping putting millings on top of it will level, compact and essentially be a cheaper alternative vs a complete rebuild
Hammond indiana I put asphalt millings on my yard but inspector wants me to get an environmental impact study to test the millings are safe. Anyone had idea if millings are dangerous or I have a inspector that is just talk bs.
sounds like a government tool. some states have banned it yes. real shame it's in Indiana. that sounds like some cali, NY "govern me harder please" bs. I can't imagine it's worse than tons of other stuff we use. I mean it's only on all the roads we already use. just don't eat it or inhale the dust from applying.
If it's not legal, they need to remove ALL the asphalt roads everywhere...Whats the last thing they do before putting asphalt down for highways....Spray OIL on the ground...Seesh!
you don't need a seal coat. it works fine without, think gravel driveway with no dust or mud. plus you can just top dress or drag annually or add a whole new section and it will look the same years later.
you don't need a seal coat its an option. it works fine without, think gravel driveway with no dust or mud. plus you can just add a little more and it will look the same years later.
Great video, but I wouldn't pay for something like this for that price unfortunately. Way too expensive. I mean we're talkin 50k in this alone roughly. Definitely not worth the money.
I actually said in the video the whole thing costs me about $10,000. Where as poured concrete or paved asphalt would have cost me $60k or more. So it's not too expensive at all.
