How Asphalt Milling and Paving Work Together for Long-Lasting Roads

Asphalt milling and paving may seem like separate processes, but together, they form the foundation of modern road construction and maintenance. Milling prepares the surface by removing worn-out asphalt, while paving applies a fresh, durable layer that restores the road to its optimal condition.

The process begins with milling, where specialized machinery grinds down the old surface to the desired depth. This step not only removes damage but also ensures proper grading and drainage. By recycling the milled asphalt, contractors reduce costs and environmental impact.

Once the surface is ready, paving comes into play. A new layer of hot mix asphalt is applied and compacted, creating a smooth, safe, and resilient surface. The result is a road or parking lot that can handle heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions while requiring minimal maintenance.

For contractors, municipalities, and property managers, combining milling and paving provides the best return on investment. It maximizes longevity, reduces repair frequency, and enhances the driving experience.
