The Process of Milling and Resurfacing in Maryland: A Step-by-Step Guide

Milling and resurfacing in Maryland are essential services for maintaining the integrity and longevity of your asphalt surfaces. Whether it’s for a parking lot, driveway, or roadway, these services provide a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for pavement maintenance. Aurora Paving & Concrete offers expert milling and resurfacing services, ensuring that your asphalt surfaces remain durable and aesthetically pleasing.

• Step 1: Inspection and Assessment
  Before beginning any milling or resurfacing project in Maryland, the first step is a thorough inspection of the existing asphalt surface. This allows us to assess the condition of the pavement and determine if milling and resurfacing are suitable options. We check for any structural issues, cracks, or areas of severe damage that may need special attention.
  
  
• Step 2: Milling the Asphalt
  Once the assessment is complete, we begin the milling process. Using a specialized milling machine, we remove the top layer of asphalt. This step helps eliminate damaged areas and prepares the surface for the new asphalt layer. Depending on the severity of the damage, the milling process can remove anywhere from a small fraction to several inches of asphalt.
  
  
• Step 3: Surface Preparation
  After the milling process, the surface is cleaned and prepared for resurfacing. Any loose debris or remaining dust is removed, and the surface is inspected for any remaining imperfections that may need to be addressed. This step ensures that the new asphalt layer adheres properly to the milled surface, creating a smooth and durable finish.
  
  
• Step 4: Resurfacing with Fresh Asphalt
  The resurfacing process involves applying a fresh layer of asphalt on top of the milled surface. At Aurora Paving & Concrete, we use high-quality materials to ensure that the new layer is smooth, durable, and free of imperfections. The thickness of the new asphalt layer is determined based on the needs of the surface and the existing condition of the pavement.
  
  
• Step 5: Compaction and Finishing
  After the new layer of asphalt is applied, it’s compacted using a roller to ensure proper bonding and evenness. This step is crucial for creating a strong and stable surface. The final result is a smooth, even, and durable asphalt surface that enhances the overall appearance and functionality of your property.

• Cost Savings
  Instead of replacing your entire asphalt surface, milling and resurfacing allow you to refresh the existing pavement. This saves you the cost of completely removing and replacing the asphalt, making it a more affordable option for property owners in Maryland.
  
  
• Faster Process
  Milling and resurfacing are generally quicker than full repaving projects. This means less disruption to your property or business operations, especially when using a reputable contractor like Aurora Paving & Concrete.
  
  
• Improved Aesthetics and Durability
  Not only does milling and resurfacing improve the appearance of your pavement, but it also extends its life. The new asphalt layer protects the underlying surface from further damage, ensuring that your pavement remains in good condition for years to come.
