What Is Asphalt Milling?
Milling uses a machine to grind away a set depth of worn, cracked or uneven asphalt. The base stays in place, and a new layer of hot asphalt is paved over the milled surface. Because the old surface is removed instead of covered, the finished pavement stays level with curbs, building entrances, garage floors and catch basins.

When Milling Is the Right Call
Milling makes sense when the surface is worn out but the base is still solid, when an overlay would build up too high against curbs or doors, or when isolated areas need to be cut down and repaved. If the base itself has failed, full-depth replacement is the lasting fix, and we will tell you so.
Milling for Parking Lots
For businesses, milling and repaving can usually be done in phases so part of the lot stays open. Afterwards we can restripe the lot. Learn the warning signs in 7 signs your Albany parking lot needs repaving.
