When this service makes sense

  • You are resurfacing a lot or road and need to preserve existing grades.

  • The surface is rutted or has profile problems that an overlay alone will not fix.
  • You want the removed asphalt recycled rather than landfilled.
  • Drainage needs to be corrected before a new surface is placed.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is asphalt milling?

Asphalt milling is the controlled grinding and removal of a layer of existing pavement. It prepares a surface for an overlay without raising the overall grade.

Why mill before paving instead of just overlaying?

Milling keeps the new surface at the correct elevation so drainage, curb reveal, and door clearances stay correct. It also removes rutted or distressed material rather than burying it.

What happens to the milled asphalt?

Reclaimed asphalt pavement is a recyclable material that can be processed into new asphalt mix, which makes milling an environmentally responsible step.

How deep is asphalt typically milled?

Milling depth depends on the project. It often matches the planned overlay thickness so the finished grade stays the same. We determine the right depth during planning.

Can you mill and pave the same project?

Yes. We provide mill-and-overlay as a complete service, which keeps scheduling and accountability with a single contractor.
