Asphalt Milling and Its Importance
Asphalt milling transforms aging road surfaces through precise mechanical grinding, creating a strong foundation for new pavement while promoting cost efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Fundamentals of Asphalt Milling
Asphalt milling, also known as cold planning, uses specialized equipment to remove the top layer of existing pavement. This process creates a textured surface that serves as an ideal base for new asphalt applications.
We use industrial milling machines equipped with rotating drums that contain numerous cutting teeth. These machines can remove anywhere from 1 to 6 inches of pavement in a single pass.
The milled material doesn't go to waste. We recycle the ground asphalt for use in new paving projects, making this process environmentally responsible.
Milling significantly extends pavement life by addressing surface issues before they develop into deeper structural problems. The process eliminates surface irregularities, ruts, and cracks that can compromise road safety.
The textured surface created by milling provides excellent bonding for new asphalt layers. This strong bond prevents future delamination and extends the life of repairs.
By removing the damaged top layer, we maintain proper curb heights and drainage patterns. This prevents water pooling and reduces the risk of hydroplaning.
The cost-effective nature of milling makes it an attractive option compared to complete pavement reconstruction. We can often complete milling projects in a fraction of the time required for full replacement.

Material Selection and Durability Standards
Premium asphalt mixes contain carefully proportioned aggregates and high-grade binding agents. We select materials that meet state DOT specifications for commercial applications.
The aggregate gradation must fall within strict tolerances to achieve proper density and surface texture. Larger stones provide structural strength while finer particles fill voids.
Quality control testing includes:
- Asphalt content analysis
- Aggregate gradation checks
- Density measurements
- Temperature monitoring
We maintain minimum thickness requirements based on expected traffic loads:
- Residential driveways: 2-3 inches
- Commercial parking lots: 3-4 inches
- Heavy traffic areas: 4-5 inches
