What Is Milling?
Asphalt surfaces undergo wear and damage over time. Instead of removing all of the existing asphalt, opt for milling, which only removes a few inches from the top. This process is quicker, more affordable, and causes fewer disruptions than a full replacement.
The Process
Preparation
We remove any obstructions, clean the surface of the asphalt, and assess the condition of the existing pavement.
Milling
We use specialized equipment to extract the top layer of asphalt, which involves grinding the material so it can be reused for the new layer.
Surface Repair
We repair any damage sustained by the subgrade, which is the layer directly beneath the asphalt surface.
Application
We apply the new layer of asphalt to the subgrade, smoothing and compressing it to create an even surface.
Finishing & Marking
We apply any finishing touches that are needed, which may include line striping or road markings.
What Is Reclamation?
Reclamation takes the existing subgrade and makes it new. Thanks to a stronger foundation beneath the surface, the new asphalt layer will last longer. This process is good for your pavement and your wallet.
The Process
Grind & Blend
We grind and mix the subgrade material to strengthen the foundation.
