Asphalt Milling: Redefining Roadways and Parking Lots!

Asphalt milling or profiling is one of the most common asphalt reconstruction methods today. As a matter of fact, you may have even caught sight of the giant machines and their operators on your way to the office or the supermarket without even realizing so. Asphalt milling is most commonly used to prepare parking lots, roadways, and highways for new asphalt installation. Haskell Paving, Inc. has come to be known as a pioneer in the industry with its state-of-the-art equipment and expertise.

What is Asphalt Milling?

Asphalt milling involves a few integrated steps. First, the existing asphalt is removed to a specified depth with the aid of advanced machinery. Here at Haskell Paving, we use a Wirtgen cold milling machine for digging up asphalt to a desired depth, which is most commonly 2 to 4 inches. If required, the machines are equipped to dig out asphalt up to a depth of 12 inches. The recommended depth of asphalt removal is dictated by the extent of asphalt deterioration as well as the plan for asphalt replacement. Our expert estimators and operators are able to assist you or your engineer in determining the most appropriate depth.

Sensors on the milling machine make it extremely easy to automatically maintain a standard milling depth. This versatile machine can be used to establish a specific grade, remove any ruts or other imperfections, or bring the area all the way down to the stone for a demolition mill. Our 4’ drum machine enables us to work in much tighter areas and reduces the daily cost of larger machines

Why is Cold Milling a Good Idea for Everyone?

Cold milling machines are environmentally friendly as they have provisions for transporting and storing the removed asphalt into a dump truck that takes them to the asphalt recycling center where they are recycled to make new asphalt. The milled surface is power-swept to get rid of all debris left behind from the milling process. The milled surface is then able to be driven on immediately until you are ready to install new asphalt.

Why Do People of NJ, NY, and CT Love Milling?

Asphalt milling is the solution to a pavement area that is filled with potholes and other damaged asphalt that cannot be resurfaced or overlaid. Milling is used to return parking lots and roadways to a fresh surface which can then be immediately driven on until you are ready to pave it. Most people do pave the area as soon as possible. Milling is done quickly with minimal interruption to the traffic flow.

Your Asphalt Milling Options

The most common question asked by our clients is — what is a milling rental? A milling rental includes our Wirtgen cold milling machine, an experienced and professional operator, and a man on the ground to ensure the milling process is completed efficiently and cleanly. When we provide you with a milling rental, you are responsible for hiring and supervising dump trucks to bring the millings to a certified recycling center or stockpiling area as well as a crew to power sweep and chip the milled area in order to ensure it is perfectly prepared for asphalt installation.

If you would rather we handle all the aspects of milling your asphalt parking lot or roadway, we recommend a full service mill. During a full service mill, our foreman arranges for and supervises each step of the process. This includes the dump trucks used for transporting millings, availability at the closest recycling center, the power sweeper and the crew to manage all these jobs.

If you are unsure which type of milling job is best for your company, give us a call. We can discuss the details of your project and advise you on the most cost efficient and headache-free option.

When Should You Repave Your Driveway?

Homeowners must monitor their driveway to ensure normal wear and tear doesn’t get out of hand. With regular seal coating maintenance, a driveway can last up to 20 years. However, this depends on the amount of rain, sun, temperature change, and use your driveway sees. A driveway that has buckling, deep cracks, or significant crumbling on the edges should be repaved. If we pave your driveway, you can let us remember to schedule your seal coating maintenance. We will mail you a reminder to seal coat your driveway one year after it is paved. If you are unsure of the state of your driveway, just give us a call. We will send out an estimator to assess it and recommend the appropriate plan of action.

When Should You Sealcoat Your Driveway?

We recommend sealcoating your driveway one year after paving and then every two years after that. This will maintain a beautiful dark, smooth layer that allows for easier snow shoveling and sweeping, as well as enhancing the curb appeal of your home. Sealcoating and crack filling also help maintain the structural integrity of your driveway. It reduces the effect of water, the UV rays of the sun, and erosion which are the most common causes of cracks in your driveway. Sealcoating is best done during the Spring, Summer, and early Fall. It must be completed before the leaves start falling. A freshly sealcoated driveway should not be driven on for 18-36 hours.

What is Asphalt Milling?

Asphalt milling is the process of removing existing asphalt from a parking lot or road. This is sometimes called profiling or cold planing. Milling is done using a cold milling machine. The machine uses a large rotating drum covered in metal teeth to remove and grind the road or parking lot surface. This drum also funnels the asphalt towards the center of the machine to be picked up by the conveyor belt and carried into the waiting dump truck for transportation to the recycling center. The depth of milling varies. This depends on the extent of damage to the existing asphalt and the plan to replace the asphalt. The depth of milling is computer automated, but a skilled milling operator is required to run the machine, assess the area, and coordinate with the dump truck drivers for removal. Once the existing asphalt parking lot of road has been milled and power swept, it is ready to receive fresh asphalt.
