Not all pavement defects are created equal. While some stem from sub-base issues beneath the surface, others originate at the top layer and progress downward. When surface-level defects occur, asphalt milling and resurfacing is often the ideal solution.

What is Asphalt Milling?
Asphalt milling is a specialized process that removes the defective surface layer of asphalt pavement, typically to a depth of 2–3 inches. Using advanced milling equipment, the damaged asphalt is ground down, and the debris, known as “millings,” is collected and recycled at an asphalt plant. Once the surface is prepared, a fresh layer of adhesive oil is applied, followed by new asphalt, creating a brand-new pavement surface.
This process is commonly used for both targeted repairs and complete parking lot resurfacing.
