What is Asphalt Milling?
When a parking lot or other paving has some damage to the surface but the gravel subbase is still intact and stable, many asphalt experts recommend a service called milling. In this process, asphalt contractors remove the top few layers using a special machine. This asphalt can then be recycled, leading to lower costs to the consumer. The milled surface of the asphalt paving is left with a texture that allows new asphalt to bond well and be stable.
How Do I Know I Need Asphalt Milling Services?
A safe asphalt parking lot is vital for any thriving business, apartment complex, or school. If you have a commercial parking lot with minor cracks or even small potholes, asphalt milling can be a great solution to restore the asphalt surface. But milling isn’t just for parking lots. Both private and municipal roads are definitely subject to wear and tear, and any cracks or potholes in asphalt roads can be very dangerous to the public. Asphalt milling on roads can be a quick and efficient way to revamp a roadway, leaving a perfectly smooth, black surface.
