When looking to repair or replace asphalt paving, you should consider milling the area first. Milling is the process of tearing up the damaged top layer of asphalt before repaving. It is an important step in the replacement process. While you can patch or repave without milling, the result will not only be higher than when you started, but it also may not have as strong of a structural integrity as if you paved a cleared surface. This means that the repair won’t last as long and future maintenance will be needed quicker.

Why Asphalt Milling is Important in Paving Projects
Milling, also called cold-planning or profiling, removes the top layer of previously laid asphalt from the space first. This process is important for the height of the final product. Additionally, paving without first profiling the space can result in a less solid structure. Therefore, an un-planed surface may be more prone to potholes, rutting, or moisture depressions. Milling can also remove surface distress that you would be otherwise paving over, and it’s important for keeping roads and surfaces at a height that allows for proper drainage.
A More Environmentally Friendly Practice
Profiling an asphalt surface can lead to less material use, which can be environmentally friendly. Milling is an important part of pavement recycling, which can reduce material costs. Recycled asphalt can be ground up for aggregate in the hot mix before it is paved down. The aggregate binds with the asphalt cement to create a stronger surface.
