What is Asphalt Milling & Pulverizing?

Asphalt Milling

Milling involves the controlled removal of a specified thickness of existing asphalt surface using specialized equipment. This process:

  • Removes the top layer of deteriorated asphalt
  • Preserves the underlying base structure
  • Creates a uniform, textured surface for new asphalt application
  • Allows for maintaining existing elevations and drainage patterns
  • Generates recyclable asphalt material

Asphalt Pulverizing

Pulverizing (also called full-depth reclamation) breaks the entire asphalt pavement and a portion of the underlying base into a uniform processed material. This comprehensive approach:

  • Addresses problems in both the asphalt and base layers
  • Creates a new stabilized base from existing materials
  • Eliminates extensive removal and disposal costs
  • Provides an excellent foundation for new asphalt
  • Represents a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution

Benefits of Professional Milling & Pulverizing

Prevent Water Damage

Cost Efficiency

By reusing existing materials and reducing disposal requirements, these processes significantly lower overall project costs compared to full-depth removal and replacement.

Prevent Water Damage

Environmental Responsibility

Recycling asphalt material reduces landfill waste, conserves natural resources, and minimizes the carbon footprint associated with new material production and transportation.

Prevent Water Damage

Time Savings

These efficient processes reduce project duration compared to traditional removal methods, minimizing disruption to residents, businesses, and traffic.

 

Prevent Water Damage

Improved Results

Creating a properly prepared surface or stabilized base ensures better performance and longevity for your new asphalt pavement.

Prevent Water Damage

Versatility

These techniques can be adapted to address a wide range of pavement conditions and project requirements, from minor surface corrections to complete reconstruction.

Our Professional Process

1. Initial Assessment

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your existing pavement to determine the appropriate depth and technique for milling or pulverizing, considering:

  • Current surface condition
  • Base integrity
  • Elevation requirements
  • Desired end result
  • Budget constraints

2. Site Preparation

Our team prepares the project area with attention to detail:

  • Marking utilities and obstacles
  • Establishing precise grade references
  • Coordinating traffic control when necessary
  • Protecting adjacent structures and landscaping
  • Setting up dust control measures

3. Precise Execution

Our experienced operators utilize specialized equipment to achieve accurate results:

  • Controlled depth settings for uniform removal
  • Smooth transitions at project boundaries
  • Careful maneuvering around obstacles and structures
  • Efficient loading and removal of milled material
  • Thorough cleaning of the processed surface

4. Quality Control

Throughout the process, we maintain rigorous quality standards:

  • Continuous depth verification
  • Surface texture assessment
  • Grade and slope confirmation
  • Compaction testing for pulverized materials
  • Final inspection before proceeding to the next phase
