What Is Asphalt Milling?
A cost-efficient way of improving the look and performance of your worn or damaged asphalt in Maryland, Northern Virginia, Southern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the DC metro area is milling. Rather than excavating and removing the damaged asphalt and installing entirely new asphalt, milling replaces the top layer, which is typically a few inches thick. This method typically has a lower price tag and quick turnaround time, causing fewer traffic flow disruptions.
The Process
Preparation
Our contractors clean the asphalt surface, remove any obstructions, and evaluate the existing pavement’s condition.
Milling
Using specialized milling equipment, we remove only the top layer of asphalt. We grind the existing asphalt layer and recycle the material for the new asphalt layer.
Surface Repair
We repair any damage or irregularities in the subgrade to strengthen the asphalt’s foundation.
Application
We pour the new asphalt onto the subgrade and then compress it to achieve a smooth finish.
Finishing & Marking
We complete finishing touches, such as line striping and road markings, to the new asphalt layer so it’s ready to be safely used.
What Is Asphalt Reclamation?
Asphalt reclamation creates a new foundation for a fresh asphalt layer. By skipping excavation and removing the existing asphalt, this repair technique helps keep costs lower and saves valuable time.
The Process
Grind & Blend
We grind and blend the remaining material—along with any soil and aggregates—to create a more durable foundation.
