What Is Milling?
Rather than replacing your paved surface entirely, milling allows you to remove the top layer of worn asphalt and put down a fresh, new one in its place. This is a more efficient and affordable method than fully demolishing asphalt.
The Process
Preparation
We scrape and sweep the existing asphalt surface.
Milling
We remove the top layer of the paved surface by grinding it down for later use.
Surface Repair
If we run into any subgrade damage during the process, you can count on us to fix it. We want to provide you with a solid base for your new layer of asphalt.
Application
We properly prepare the milled surface by applying a tack coat so that the new layer of asphalt will adhere to the existing asphalt.
Finishing & Marking
What Is Reclamation?
Reclamation is a process where existing asphalt and base course sections are mixed in place to provide base for new asphalt.
The Process
Grind & Blend
Using specialized reclaiming equipment we blend the existing subgrade while adding moisture and compaction to achieve a dense base for new pavements. In some cases, we add cement or lime during mixing to aid promote stability during reclamation.
Top Causes of Pavement Deterioration
The success of any paving project begins with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. That’s why it’s essential to use top-tier products, advanced equipment, and experienced professionals who can handle every paving or concrete challenge with precision and care.
Pavement wears and weakens over time because of the following:
- Incorrect pavement thickness
- Excess traffic weight load
- Poor water drainage
- Oil and gas spots
- Poor maintenance
- Harsh climate changes
- Shifting ground
