Nationwide Asphalt Milling & Resurfacing Services
Asphalt milling and resurfacing are effective ways to restore worn pavement without the expense or downtime of a complete reconstruction. Pave America’s experienced asphalt milling contractors help commercial properties nationwide prepare surfaces for lasting performance.
What Is Asphalt Milling?
Asphalt milling is a cost-effective way to restore damaged pavement. Instead of tearing out the entire paved structure, specialized milling machines remove only the top layer to address surface issues and create a smooth, even base for new asphalt.
This method is often used on commercial parking lots, roads, and other busy areas with cracks, uneven spots, or drainage issues. Asphalt milling services help prepare the surface for resurfacing, extend the pavement’s lifespan, and reduce both cost and downtime.
Our Asphalt Milling Process
At Pave America, we follow a proven asphalt resurfacing process for long-term results.
Preparation
Our asphalt milling contractors evaluate the site to check pavement condition, drainage, traffic flow, and safety needs. This helps us determine the right milling depth and identify any issues that need attention.
Milling
Using specialized milling equipment, we grind and remove the damaged layer of asphalt to the right depth. This allows our crews to correct uneven areas, restore proper slopes, and eliminate surface distress without disturbing stable underlying layers.
Surface Repair
After milling, we check the exposed surface for any sub-base damage that could affect the new pavement. If we find weak spots, settling, or moisture issues, we repair them before resurfacing. Fixing these issues early helps prevent future damage and extends the life of the new pavement.
Application
Once the repairs are finished, we install new asphalt over the milled surface and compact it for a smooth, even surface. Proper bonding helps the asphalt stay strong and resist cracking, shifting, and early wear.
Finishing & Markings
After the new surface is in place, we add pavement markings to restore safety and organization. Striping, symbols, and other markings are applied to guide traffic, highlight parking spaces, and support pedestrian areas. This final step leaves the pavement clean, clear, and ready for use.
Benefits of Asphalt Milling & Resurfacing
Asphalt milling and resurfacing offer an efficient, cost-effective way to restore pavement performance. This method offers numerous benefits for getting the most out of your investment:
Asphalt milling helps correct uneven grades and standing water, improving drainage and reducing the risk of long-term damage.
- Improve Curb Appeal
A fresh, smooth surface gives your property a clean, updated look that reflects well on your business.
- Maintain a Safe, Liability-Free Surface
Resurfacing removes hazards like potholes, cracks, and uneven areas, helping reduce slip-and-fall or vehicle-related risks.
- Increase Property Value
Well-maintained pavement enhances the overall condition of your property, supporting higher value and stronger curb appeal.
How Asphalt Reclamation Supports Cost-Effective Asphalt Resurfacing
Asphalt reclamation, also known as full-depth reclamation, creates a stronger base layer on which new asphalt can be poured. This method reduces operating costs by eliminating the need to excavate and haul away old asphalt.
We use specialized equipment to grind and blend the remaining pavement material, along with underlying soil and aggregates. This process creates a stronger foundation for the new asphalt layer.
Micro Milling Services
Pave America offers micro milling, a specialized asphalt milling process that removes only a thin surface layer to improve texture and ride quality. Using fine-toothed cutting equipment, this method creates a smooth, uniform surface without disturbing the deeper pavement structure.
Compared to traditional asphalt milling, micro milling is best for projects that need precise surface correction rather than full-depth removal.
Key benefits of micro milling:
- Produces a smoother, more consistent surface
- Improves friction and safety, especially in wet conditions
- Fixes minor surface irregularities without deep removal
- Prepares pavement for overlays or surface treatments
Top Causes of Pavement Deterioration
Pavement deterioration occurs for several reasons. Understanding what causes asphalt to break down helps property owners determine when asphalt milling and resurfacing are needed.
- Overloading
- Oxidation
- Poor Drainage
- Harsh Weather
- Oil & Gas Leaks
- Trees & Vegetation
- Insufficient Maintenance
