Asphalt milling

Milling grinds off the top layer of asphalt to remove damage, keep grades at curbs and drains, and prepare for an overlay.

Free. No obligation. We'll match your request with up to 3 contractors that fit the project.

Mill and overlay

The most common use: remove a set depth, sweep, tack, and pave a new surface at the original elevation.

Millings

Ask whether recycled millings are hauled away, credited back or reused, for example as base on a gravel area.

What to ask contractors

  • Milling depth
  • Hauling and disposal or reuse
  • Overlay thickness
  • Traffic control

Questions

Do I need milling before an overlay?
Not always, but it is often recommended where height would cause problems at curbs, doors or drains.
