The Asphalt Milling & Recycling FAQ, by APCON

• What is asphalt milling?

  Asphalt milling refers to the process of breaking up and removing the top layer of pavement (usually around 1 – 3 inches in depth) using specialized grinding equipment that tears up the asphalt and removes it for recycling. A new layer of asphalt can then be installed without disturbing drainage or curbs.

• What is Asphalt Recycling?

  A process called in-place asphalt recycling involves breaking up the pavement using milling, and then reforms it into a new asphalt surface. Sometimes paving contractors use heat to melt the recycled asphalt, but sometimes they pour a new layer of the crushed pavement for a fresh top layer.

• Why Get Asphalt Milling

  This paving service is meant to create a new, unbroken surface, so it’s best performed on parking lots and roadways that:

  • Are less than 20 years old
  • Have stable, undamaged gravel base layers
  • Aren’t suffering from major drainage issues
  • Don’t have damaged concrete curbs or storm drains

• How is asphalt milling performed?

  The asphalt resurfacing process, when milling is used, goes like this:

  • The grinding drum on the milling machine breaks up existing asphalt to a specified depth.
  • A vacuum system removes asphalt chunks and transfers them to a conveyer belt, which transports it to a truck for hauling away.
  • The surface is cleaned and hot asphalt is poured over the exposed surface, creating a brand new, undamaged surface.
