Asphalt Milling & Recycling
Understanding when to choose asphalt milling over total replacement can save you time and money while ensuring a durable, long-lasting surface for your property!
Bring Your Pavement Back to Life
Restore pavement that’s uneven, bumpy, filled with irregularities like potholes, or otherwise damaged with the asphalt milling process. This innovative and eco-friendly approach allows our Greater Jacksonville, FL, asphalt contractor to renew parking lots and driveways by removing only the top layer of deteriorated asphalt, creating a smooth and even surface ready for a fresh layer of material. Recycled asphalt is then processed and reused to minimize waste.
Here’s what you should know about this process and when asphalt milling is needed.
When Asphalt Milling Is the Right Choice
Not every section of pavement requires total replacement. Asphalt milling is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative for both commercial and residential properties when the surface layer of the asphalt has deteriorated but the underlying base remains structurally sound.
The top layer of asphalt is removed to a specified depth, which is then recycled and reused in new paving projects. Overall, asphalt milling is ideal for addressing surface imperfections such as minor cracks, ruts, and uneven areas without the need for a complete overhaul.
Your Property & Asphalt Milling
For commercial asphalt paving purposes, milling can rejuvenate parking lots, roadways, and large driveways, enhancing both appearance and functionality. Residential paving customers can benefit from milling to repair driveways and sidewalks, restoring smoothness and safety without the higher costs associated with full replacement.
However, keep in mind that total asphalt replacement is necessary when the damage extends deeper into the pavement, compromising the structural integrity of the base layers. Issues like extensive potholes, severe alligator cracking, or foundational shifts indicate that the sub-base may be compromised and require a complete rebuild. Additionally, if drainage problems persist, a full replacement may be the best solution to regrade and properly slope the surface.
