When an asphalt surface becomes worn, uneven, or damaged, simply adding another layer may not be the best approach. Milling removes a controlled depth of existing asphalt, preparing the surface for the next stage of paving.
PLS Paving provides asphalt milling for residential, commercial, and public paving projects. From driveway improvements to larger paved areas, milling can be an important step toward a smoother, more consistent finished surface.
Specialized equipment grinds and removes the upper portion of the asphalt. This allows deteriorated material to be removed while retaining suitable pavement beneath it.
By controlling how much material is removed, milling can help maintain appropriate pavement elevations where new asphalt meets curbs, sidewalks, garage entrances, and adjoining surfaces. It can also support improvements to surface grading when incorporated into a properly planned paving project.
When the underlying pavement is sound, milling followed by new asphalt can offer an alternative to full removal and replacement. It creates room for a fresh asphalt layer without continually raising the surface height.
The right approach depends on the depth and extent of deterioration, the condition of the underlying pavement, and the intended use of the area. If deeper problems are present, additional repairs may be necessary before paving.
PLS Paving offers both milling and asphalt paving, helping customers plan these closely connected stages together. We can evaluate your existing surface and help determine whether milling is appropriate for your project.
