Asphalt Milling

Asphalt Milling Services

When pavement has deteriorated beyond light repairs, milling prepares the surface for long-term renewal. This process removes a precise layer of asphalt to correct grades, improve drainage, and create a smooth base for resurfacing. It is often the most cost-efficient way to extend pavement life without full reconstruction.

Precision Milling for Better Results

Our crews use advanced milling machines to control depth and accuracy. This ensures elevations are maintained, recycled material is captured, and the surface is ready for overlays or complete resurfacing. Investing in state-of-the-art equipment allows us to recycle 100% of the asphalt removed, reducing waste and cutting down on new aggregate use.

When an overlay is applied after milling, property owners gain a stronger, smoother surface that performs well under traffic and weather conditions. In cases where the base is compromised, excavation may be necessary to remove damaged asphalt and sub-base entirely.

Restoring Surfaces with Milling

Milling is a sustainable solution that reduces waste, supports better drainage, and extends the lifespan of new asphalt. By preserving the foundation while removing imperfections, it offers a practical alternative to full replacement.

This method is ideal when rutting, cracking, or drainage failures affect the top layer but the base remains sound. Property owners save money by correcting uneven grades and laying fresh asphalt over a stabilized foundation instead of starting from scratch.

Common Applications

Milling adapts to projects of all sizes, including:

  • Parking lots: Smooths worn surfaces and maintains drainage before overlays.
  • Driveways: Corrects depressions and grade issues, preparing for resurfacing.
  • Roadways: Restores ride quality, improves traction, and extends lifespan with minimal downtime.
  • Industrial sites: Reinforces surfaces designed for heavy loads through precise milling and resurfacing.

Milling as Part of Maintenance

The best results often come when milling is integrated into a broader maintenance plan. Combining milling with sealcoating, patching, or overlays ensures the new surface bonds properly and performs reliably. In some cases, partial-depth milling repairs targeted areas while extending the life of the entire lot. For deeper damage, milling transitions into full-depth reclamation and reconstruction.

Asphalt Milling Questions and Answers

Absolutely, and we understand why you'd ask. At Asphalt Care Inc., we utilize Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in our milling projects, which has proven to be both durable and environmentally friendly. RAP is commonly used in various applications, including commercial properties, and meets industry standards for strength and performance. By incorporating recycled materials, we not only provide a robust surface but also contribute to sustainable practices in pavement maintenance.​

Minimizing disruption is a priority for us at Asphalt Care Inc. Asphalt milling is generally quicker and less invasive than full-depth reconstruction. We can often complete milling projects in sections, allowing your property to remain accessible during the process. We work closely with property managers to develop a schedule that accommodates your operational needs, ensuring that tenants and visitors experience minimal inconvenience.​

Maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your property is important. Asphalt milling allows for the removal of surface irregularities and the application of a new overlay, resulting in a smooth and visually appealing pavement.  We pay close attention to detail, ensuring that the finished surface meets both functional and aesthetic standards, enhancing the overall look of your property.
