Keeping Northglenn's roads and driveways smooth and safe, one milling project at a time, right here in our community.
Get Your Free EstimateAsphalt milling, sometimes called cold planing, involves precisely grinding off the surface layer of an existing asphalt pavement. This process typically includes using specialized machinery to remove a uniform depth of asphalt, usually between 1 to 4 inches, without disturbing the underlying layers. The goal is to correct surface irregularities, improve drainage, and prepare a stable, consistent base for a new asphalt overlay, making it a cost-effective way to rejuvenate tired pavement.
Our approach starts with a thorough assessment of your Northglenn property, whether it's a commercial lot near Webster Lake or a residential driveway in the Fox Run neighborhood. We mark out the areas needing milling, considering factors like existing cracks, rutting, and desired final grade. Our crew then uses a milling machine to carefully remove the old asphalt, ensuring a consistent depth and smooth transition to untouched sections. The removed material, often called 'millings,' is collected and can even be recycled.
For Northglenn, milling is especially important due to our freeze-thaw cycles and the heavy vehicle traffic on main arteries like 104th Avenue. These conditions can cause significant wear and tear, leading to potholes and uneven surfaces. By milling, we address these issues head-on, preventing further deterioration and providing a fresh, durable foundation that stands up to our Colorado weather, keeping your property looking good and functioning safely.
Homeowners often wonder about the mess or disruption. We pride ourselves on keeping our work sites tidy and minimizing inconvenience for you and your neighbors. We schedule work to avoid peak traffic times where possible and ensure proper signage and safety measures are in place. Once the milling is complete, the surface is swept clean, ready for the next step in your paving project, often an asphalt overlay, which can be completed shortly after.
Asphalt milling is a smart choice for Northglenn properties because it directly addresses common issues we see around here, like rutting and cracking caused by our varied climate. When the ground freezes and thaws, and with the heavy snow we get, asphalt can really take a beating. Milling removes that damaged top layer, getting rid of those ruts and cracks without having to tear out the entire pavement.
This process also helps maintain proper drainage, which is huge in Northglenn. We know how quickly water can pool up after a summer thunderstorm or during snowmelt. By creating a consistent, new surface, milling ensures water flows off correctly, preventing further damage to your pavement and reducing the risk of hydroplaning for drivers. It's about keeping our community safe and dry.
Beyond just fixing problems, milling is also more environmentally friendly. The old asphalt we remove can often be recycled and reused, sometimes even right back into new pavement projects. It's a way to refresh your property's look and function while being mindful of our local resources, which is something we value deeply here.
