Asphalt Milling & Full Depth Reclamation
Achieve a smooth, even surface and prepare for lasting pavement with professional asphalt milling from National Pavement Partners. Our precision milling services remove damaged layers efficiently, setting the stage for high-quality resurfacing and long-term performance.
What Is Asphalt Milling?
Milling is the process of removing the top layer of asphalt and replacing it with a new surface without excavating the entire pavement. This quicker, more affordable method is ideal for resurfacing projects, allowing you to restore functionality and appearance without the hassle of a complete replacement.
Our Asphalt Milling Process
Preparation
We clear the site, assess the existing surface conditions, and prepare the pavement for milling.
Milling
Using specialized machinery, we remove the top layer of asphalt and grind it into reusable materials.
Surface Repair
Any underlying subgrade issues are addressed to ensure a stable base for the new asphalt.
Application
Fresh asphalt is applied and compacted for a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Finishing & Marking
We complete the process by adding line striping and any required pavement markings.
What Is Full Depth Reclamation?
Full depth reclamation is the process of rebuilding the pavement base by blending existing asphalt with soil and aggregate. This creates a solid foundation for new asphalt without the need for a full excavation or material removal. It’s an efficient, budget-friendly option for large-scale projects.
Our Asphalt Reclamation Process
Grind & Blend
We grind the remaining asphalt and mix it with aggregates and soil to create a reinforced subbase on which your new pavement will sit.
Key Benefits of Asphalt Milling
- Eliminate Major Drainage Issues
- Maintain a Safe, Liability-Free Surface

Asphalt Milling and Full Depth Reclamation FAQs
What is milling asphalt?
Asphalt milling, also known as cold milling, is the process of removing a layer of existing pavement to create a smoother, more even surface. This helps prepare the area for repaving or reuse. Specialized milling machines can remove varying depths of asphalt—whether it’s just a thin layer to even things out or a full-depth cut to completely replace the surface.
What is asphalt milling used for?
Asphalt milling is used to fix and restore roads and parking lots by removing surface damage, improving drainage, and getting the pavement ready for a fresh layer of asphalt.
What is cold milling asphalt?
Cold milling is another name for asphalt milling. It involves removing the top layer of your asphalt pavement using a cold planer or a milling machine to create a clean and textured surface that is ready for paving.
What is full depth reclamation?
Full depth asphalt reclamation involves rebuilding the pavement base by mixing the existing asphalt with soil and aggregate. This process creates a strong, stable foundation for new asphalt—without having to dig everything up or haul materials away. It’s a cost-effective and efficient solution, especially for large projects.
