Asphalt milling, also known as cold planing or profiling, is an efficient method for removing the top layer of damaged pavement while preserving the existing foundation. This process smooths out surface imperfections, improves drainage, and prepares the area for a fresh overlay without requiring a complete reconstruction.

When to Choose Asphalt Milling
It’s ideal for projects where the existing pavement is structurally sound but has surface deterioration. It is commonly used for:
- Roadway rehabilitation
- Parking lot resurfacing
- Commercial and municipal pavement repairs
- Driveway restoration
Choosing pavement milling offers several advantages. It is a budget-conscious solution that significantly reduces material and labor costs compared to complete resurfacing. Additionally, milled asphalt can be recycled and reused, making it a sustainable choice for municipalities and businesses looking to minimize environmental impact. The process also eliminates cracks, ruts, and uneven surfaces, creating a stable, smooth foundation that enhances the durability and appearance of the final overlay.
Beyond surface restoration, this resurfacing method plays a critical role in drainage improvement and roadway preservation. Adjusting pavement elevations helps prevent standing water, reducing the risk of long-term damage. Additionally, maintaining the proper roadway grade ensures smooth transitions between asphalt and concrete surfaces, keeping driveways, parking lots, and roadways level and safe.
