SCREENED ASPHALT MILLINGS,
$450 DELIVERED IN TULSA
Recycled asphalt, screened to 1 1/2 inch minus, delivered anywhere in Tulsa County for $450 a full truckload, all-in. The closest thing to a paved driveway without paving prices, and it gets harder every summer.
WHAT MILLINGS ARE
SCREENED ASPHALT MILLINGS, 1 1/2" MINUS
When a road gets resurfaced, the old asphalt is milled off and ground down. What comes out is millings: crushed asphalt with the original oil binder still in it. Laid and compacted, the binder re-activates in summer heat and the surface knits together into something between gravel and pavement.
Straight off the machine, millings are a mixed bag: fines, fist-sized lumps, and the occasional slab. Ours are run through a screen at 1 1/2 inch minus before they go on the truck, so what you get is uniform and spreads evenly. That is the difference between screened and raw millings, and it is the difference between a drive you can rake flat and one you fight.
Use it for: driveways, parking areas and lots, farm lanes, potholed roads, anywhere you want a hard dark surface that does not scatter.
One load (about 14 to 16 tons) delivered: $450
Why Tulsa drives keep ending up with millings:
- Screened, so it lays flat. Everything passes a 1 1/2 inch screen, so there are no oversized chunks to work around and no slabs to break up. It spreads and compacts evenly the first time.
- They pack down hard. Compacted millings behave closer to pavement than to loose rock: no scatter into the yard, no ruts from normal cars, and rain runs off instead of through.
- Summer works for you. Oklahoma heat softens the binder and every hot week tightens the surface further. A millings drive is at its best in year two.
- The price. Paving a typical driveway runs five figures. A load of millings runs $450 delivered, and one load covers a typical residential drive at four inches.
The honest tradeoffs: millings look like what they are, recycled asphalt, so the color is dark grey to black and varies batch to batch. They want compaction, ideally a roller or plate compactor on a warm day, to reach their potential. And they are not the pick where you want the look of clean stone, which is what gravel is for.

MILLINGS QUESTIONS, STRAIGHT ANSWERS
How much do asphalt millings cost delivered in Tulsa?
A full truckload of asphalt millings (about 14 to 16 tons) runs $450 delivered in Tulsa County, all-in. Outside Tulsa County adds $50 per load. That covers roughly 700 to 900 square feet at four inches deep, which handles a typical residential driveway in one load. Prices are estimates plus sales tax, confirmed on your quote. Multi-load job or repeat work? Ask about discounts.
Are your asphalt millings screened?
Yes. Ours are screened to 1 1/2 inch minus before loading, so there are no oversized chunks or slabs in the pile. Raw millings come off the milling machine unsorted and can include pieces too big to rake or compact evenly. Screened millings cost a little more per ton to produce, but they spread flat the first time and compact into a far more even surface, which is why we only sell them screened.
Are asphalt millings better than gravel for a driveway?
Different, and often better for Tulsa driveways. Millings are ground-up recycled asphalt, and the leftover binder softens in summer heat, so the surface semi-paves itself: it packs harder than gravel, does not scatter into the yard, and sheds rain. Gravel drains better and looks more natural. If you want the closest thing to a paved drive without paving prices, millings are the answer. Comparing? See gravel & crushed rock prices.
How thick should asphalt millings be laid?
Plan on 3 to 4 inches compacted for a driveway that already has a firm base, and 4 to 6 inches over soft or new ground. Compacting matters more with millings than with gravel: rolling or plate-compacting them, ideally on a hot day, is what turns the loose pile into a hard surface.
What is asphalt millings?
Asphalt millings are old asphalt pavement that has been torn up and ground into a gravel-sized recycled material. The stone and the original asphalt binder are still in the mix, which is why a compacted millings surface tightens up toward pavement instead of staying loose like rock. Ours are screened to 1 1/2 inch minus so the pile spreads and compacts evenly.
What is asphalt milling used for?
Milling is how road crews strip the top layer off an asphalt road, and the ground-up material that comes off is the millings. Around Tulsa the material gets a second life on driveways, farm lanes, parking areas, and low-dust lots: anywhere you want a hard, dark, budget surface that is not loose rock and not paving money.
Where can I buy asphalt millings near me in Tulsa?
Right here. We deliver screened asphalt millings by the truckload (about 14 to 16 tons) across the Tulsa metro and Northeast Oklahoma for $450 a load in Tulsa County, all-in. No yard visit and no trailer needed: the load comes to you and gets dumped where you point.
How do asphalt millings harden?
Heat and compaction. The recycled binder in the millings softens on hot days, and a roller or plain traffic presses the softened material into a tight, semi-paved mat that re-hardens as it cools. Lay them in warm weather if you can, compact hard, and drive on them; every Tulsa summer after that tightens the surface further.
Do you spread the millings?
No. We dump the load in a pile where you point us. Spreading, grading, and compacting are a different trade with different equipment, so have that part planned before the truck arrives.
