Milling & Paving

Milling removes the worn top layer of asphalt without tearing up the entire base — then we pave a fresh wearing course right back on top. It’s the right call when the base is still sound but the surface is rutted, cracked, or oxidized, and when you need to keep existing curb and drainage elevations exactly where they are.

When mill-and-pave makes sense

• The surface is worn but the base is structurally sound
• You need to maintain existing curb and drainage elevations (a full overlay would raise the surface)
• Tying new asphalt into existing pavement at a level joint
• Removing rutted, alligator-cracked, or oxidized top layer before resurfacing

How the process works

• Mill the existing surface to a controlled depth — typically 1.5–2 inches for a wearing-course rehab
• Sweep the surface and apply a tack coat so the new asphalt bonds cleanly
• Pave the new asphalt to grade and compact to spec
• Finish edges, transitions, and tie-ins to the surrounding pavement
