For more than two decades, DRS LTD has been operating as a wholesale asphalt manufacturer and supplier to many municipalities as well as local paving contractors. Regularly serving the Madison area and its surrounding communities, our plant is located at 7154 Highway 14 Middleton, WI (1 mile west of the Beltline).

The finished texture of asphalt is directly related to the composition of its mixture.  Asphalt mixes generally consist of assorted stone sizes, sand,  liquid asphalt and a few other small elements.  The main comparison between different mix designs relates to the varying quantities of sand and stone. A mixture with a high sand content will appear very uniform, having few if any large rocks showing.  While this may be visually appealing, the larger rocks are necessary for a stable mix.

We at DRS assure quality and consistent mixtures because of our computerized asphalt batching system.  This system allows us to electronically control the amount of each element that is used to make specialized mixes for specific projects. It has also allowed us to produce cold patch and our patented rubberized asphalt mixture for nearly ten years.

We are proud to call ourselves a leader in our industry with the capability to manufacture a US patented asphalt mix using a combination of recycled rubber tires and polyester fibers. This mix has proven to be much more durable in withstanding our harsh Wisconsin winters. We are so confident in this long lasting asphalt mix, that we offer a three-year warranty against asphalt failure, versus a one year warranty on our regular asphalt mix.  A few of the major advantages of Rubberized Asphalt include:

• More flex and durability (with respect to the freeze/thaw cycle)

• Three year warranty

• Less susceptible to cracking

• Environmentally friendly (recycles old tires)

• Adheres better to previous surface (especially on overlays)

If you are interested in having a quality and consistent mix design for your next paving project, please do not hesitate to give us a call and set up a free onsite estimate. We will promptly organize an appointment for you to meet with one of our estimators, so you can get your project underway this season.
