For over 70 years, homeowners and businesses in the Lehigh Valley have trusted Hicks Paving for quality, reliable paving solutions. As sustainability and cost-efficiency become more important than ever, one service continues to stand out—recycled asphalt paving.

Whether you're upgrading a long driveway in Easton, resurfacing a farm lane in Nazareth, or installing a cost-effective lot in Allentown, recycled asphalt delivers big value.


What Is Recycled Asphalt?

Recycled asphalt—also known as asphalt millings—is made by grinding up old asphalt pavement and reusing it to create new surfaces. At Hicks Paving, these millings are expertly installed and compacted to create a durable, semi-bound surface that hardens over time.

It’s not just affordable—it’s an eco-conscious alternative that reduces waste and maximizes resources.


Why Recycled Asphalt Is a Great Fit for the Lehigh Valley

The weather in Eastern Pennsylvania can be unpredictable, with hot summers and freezing winters. Recycled asphalt holds up well in these conditions—especially when installed by a trusted local company with deep regional experience.

Common applications include:

  • Driveways

  • Rural roads and farm lanes

  • Private lanes and parking areas

  • Golf cart paths and walkways

From the rolling farmlands of Bath to suburban neighborhoods in Bethlehem, recycled asphalt is ideal for a wide range of properties.
