Asphalt Milling
Surface Prep Done Right - Ready for Whatever Comes Next
Whether you're restoring a worn parking lot, preparing a road for repaving, or tackling a large-scale commercial project, our asphalt milling services deliver precise, efficient, and cost-effective results. We use state-of-the-art milling equipment and an experienced crew to remove damaged pavement layers cleanly, leaving a smooth, stable surface that's ready for new asphalt. Skip the full reconstruction and save time and money without sacrificing quality.
Asphalt milling is a critical step in pavement rehabilitation — done right, it creates a clean, properly profiled surface that ensures a new overlay or reconstruction performs as intended. Done poorly, it creates inconsistencies that lead to premature pavement failure. Corridor Contractors brings the equipment and the experience to mill accurately and efficiently.
We perform full-depth and partial-depth milling for roadway rehabilitation, parking lot reconstruction, and pavement maintenance projects. Our milling operations produce a consistent depth and profile that meets paving specifications, and our crews coordinate closely with paving contractors to keep projects on schedule.
We also manage the removal and hauling of milled material, working with recycling facilities to keep reclaimed asphalt out of the landfill when possible.

What is asphalt milling?
Asphalt milling (also called cold planing or profiling) is the process of removing the top layer of an existing asphalt surface using a specialized milling machine. It creates a clean, textured base that is ready for a new layer of asphalt to be applied, extending the life of the pavement without the need for a full reconstruction.
How do I know if my pavement needs milling or a full replacement?
If the base layer of your pavement is still structurally sound, milling is often the right choice. It's ideal for surfaces with cracking, rutting, or surface deterioration that hasn't compromised the foundation. A full replacement is typically recommended when the base has failed. We offer free assessments to help you determine the best solution for your specific situation.
How long does the asphalt milling process take?
Project timelines vary depending on the size and condition of the area being milled. Smaller parking lots or driveways can often be completed in a single day, while larger commercial or municipal projects may take several days. We will provide you with a detailed timeline before work begins so you can plan accordingly.
Will milling damage the surrounding curbs, gutters, or structures?
Our experienced operators use precision-controlled equipment to mill to exact depths and dimensions, minimizing any impact on surrounding infrastructure. Curbs, gutters, manholes, and other structures are carefully worked around to ensure your property is protected throughout the process.
What happens to the milled asphalt material?
Milled asphalt, known as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), is 100% recyclable. The material is collected and transported to be recycled into new asphalt pavement or used as a base material for roads and driveways. This makes milling one of the most environmentally friendly options in pavement maintenance.
How soon can new asphalt be applied after milling?
In most cases, new asphalt can be applied shortly after milling is complete — sometimes the same day. The milled surface provides an ideal rough texture for the new asphalt to bond to. Timing may vary depending on weather conditions and project scope, and our team will coordinate the paving schedule to minimize any downtime for your property.
