Get Your Free EstimateAsphalt milling, also known as cold planing, is the process of removing a specific depth of the existing asphalt pavement surface using specialized machinery. This service includes grinding down the worn-out top layer of your driveway, parking lot, or road, creating a uniform surface ready for new asphalt. We collect the milled material, which often gets recycled, making it an environmentally friendly option for pavement repair and rehabilitation right here in Canon City.
Our approach to milling focuses on precision and minimal disruption to your property and our neighbors. We use modern milling machines that can accurately remove asphalt to a predetermined depth, whether it's just a few inches or the entire pavement structure. This careful removal ensures that the underlying base remains intact and provides a strong foundation for the new asphalt layer we'll be putting down.
For Canon City properties, milling is especially important due to our freeze-thaw cycles and the wear and tear from our local weather. Instead of just adding new asphalt over existing cracks and bumps, milling addresses the root of the problem by removing the compromised surface. This prevents reflective cracking from showing through the new layer and extends the overall life of your pavement, which is crucial for our community's infrastructure.
Homeowners often wonder about the mess or inconvenience. We work hard to minimize both. Our team cleans the site thoroughly after milling, ensuring all loose debris and milled material are removed. The surface is then ready for the next step, whether that's a new asphalt overlay or a complete reconstruction. We aim to make the process straightforward and efficient for everyone in our neighborhoods.
Asphalt milling is a smart choice for Canon City's unique climate and ground conditions. Our area experiences significant temperature swings, from hot summers to cold winters with ice and snow. These conditions cause asphalt to expand and contract, leading to cracks, potholes, and general deterioration over time. Just adding a new layer on top of these issues often means the problems resurface quickly.
Milling removes these damaged layers, creating a fresh, stable surface for new asphalt. This is particularly beneficial for high-traffic areas or larger driveways where structural integrity is key. It helps prevent future issues like water penetration and sub-base erosion, which can be a real headache and costly to fix down the line. We want your pavement to last, just like our local landmarks.
By milling, we also maintain proper drainage and elevation, which is vital in our varied terrain. It keeps water flowing away from foundations and ensures that roads and parking lots remain safe and functional for everyone in our community, from the Riverwalk to the neighborhoods near Skyline Drive.
We visit your Canon City property to evaluate the pavement's condition, measure the area, and determine the precise depth of asphalt to be removed. This helps us plan the most efficient approach for your specific project.
Our specialized milling machine grinds away the damaged asphalt layer to the exact depth planned. We work carefully to maintain consistent grades and slopes, preparing a clean, uniform surface for the next steps.
Once the milling is complete, we load and haul away all the removed asphalt material from your site. We ensure the area is thoroughly swept and clean, leaving it ready for the subsequent paving work.
The newly milled surface is then inspected and prepared for the new asphalt overlay. This might involve minor repairs to the underlying base or applying a tack coat to ensure excellent adhesion for the fresh pavement.
