For someone who purports to know so much about asphalt pavement, you sure
don't seem to know much about how one is resurfaced. All large asphalt
contractors have been utilizing milling machines to smooth & top-grade
existing roads prior to laying down a new mat of asphalt for the last 15 years
or so. You use a large milling machine & about 70% of the time there is
enough liquid asphalt left in the millings that simply spreading & compacting
the millings will result in a very durable driveway. After a summer or two of
being baked by the sun and driven on normally even a scarifier has a pretty
tough time cutting through the mat this forms.
