The All State Paving Asphalt Resurfacing & Replacement Guide

What are asphalt resurfacing and milling services?
Asphalt resurfacing is basically what it sounds like: removing and then replacing the very top layers of asphalt for a complete fix of the entire pavement surface. Paving professionals use grinding machines in a process called asphalt milling to remove the top layers, recycle the broken asphalt, and then apply a new layer of asphalt.

Asphalt resurfacing is recommended when…
There are certain situations when asphalt milling and resurfacing can totally revamp your parking lot or driveway, including:
- There are cracks and damage on less than 30% of the total paved surface.
- Cracks are less than a quarter inch wide and shallow, i.e. not several inches deep.
- The lower levels of pavement like the aggregate sub-base are stable and undamaged.
- Asphalt is less than 20 years old.
-
You may need asphalt replacement if…
Unfortunately, asphalt pavement can be too damaged for resurfacing services to be effective. These conditions include:
- Asphalt is over 20 years old.
- The pavement has extensive (more than 25% of the surface) damage that involves deep cracks and multiple potholes that go into the foundations of the pavement. Extensive damage will reflect through new layers and cause problems on the new asphalt surface.
- There are structural issues with the asphalt pavement layers.
