Why Recycled Asphalt (RAP) works here
Local conditions.
While other aggregates fight against our climate, Recycled Asphalt thrives in it. The intense Louisiana sun activates the dormant oils in the material, creating a semi-permanent bond that gets stronger over time. This makes it particularly popular in neighborhoods across Orleans Parish where homeowners want the look of a paved driveway without the $10,000+ price tag. Best installed in spring or summer when heat is available to cure the material.
- High-speed public traffic areas
- Projects requiring precise finish
- Areas with heavy shade (needs sun to cure)
- Winter installations (needs heat to bond)
Performs Better in New Orleans Heat
Recycled Asphalt (also known as RAP) consists of milled asphalt that still contains its original oils. When spread and exposed to the New Orleans sun, these oils 're-activate,' allowing the material to bond together. The result is a dark, professional-looking surface that produces zero dust and won't wash away in a tropical downpour. It's the closest thing to a paved driveway without the paving price tag.
- Driveway resurfacing and construction
- Private and farm roads
- Commercial parking areas
- Walking and biking paths
- RV, boat, and equipment pads
- Areas where dust is a concern
