Asphalt Milling.
Precision Removal. Clean Results.
A fast, precise, and cost-effective solution for restoring worn or uneven pavement — without the cost of full reconstruction. State-of-the-art milling machines remove the damaged surface layer, creating a clean, stable foundation ready for resurfacing.
Remove what's damaged.
Keep what's strong.
Asphalt milling — also known as cold planing — is the process of grinding and removing the upper layer of an existing asphalt surface, typically ranging from a few millimetres to several inches in depth.
This controlled removal corrects surface imperfections such as ruts, cracks, and uneven grades, while maintaining the structural integrity of the existing base. The milled material, known as Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), is collected and recycled into new asphalt mixes or used as aggregate base material — making milling one of the most environmentally responsible pavement restoration methods available.
When the underlying base is still solid but the surface has deteriorated, milling is the smart alternative to full excavation and reconstruction — saving time, materials, and money while delivering a surface that performs like new.
From grinding to fresh asphalt — a proven four-step process.
PSI handles every phase of the milling and resurfacing process in-house — no subcontractors, no coordination gaps. One crew, one point of contact, start to finish.
The smart choice when your
base is still solid.
Milling is ideal when the underlying base remains strong but the surface layer is cracked, rutted, or uneven. It's a cost-effective alternative to full reconstruction — saving both time and materials while restoring the pavement's functionality and appearance.
If you're seeing widespread alligator cracking, settlement, or chronic drainage failures, the base may have failed and full stabilization or reconstruction may be the better long-term decision. PSI assesses this honestly during the free site visit — we don't push milling when it isn't the right solution.

Asphalt milling, also known as cold planing, is the process of grinding and removing the top layer of worn asphalt. This restores grade, smoothness, and drainage while keeping the existing base intact, providing a clean surface ready for resurfacing.
Milling is ideal when the underlying base remains strong but the surface layer is cracked, rutted, or uneven. It's a cost-effective alternative to full reconstruction, saving both time and materials while restoring the pavement's functionality and appearance.
We can precisely mill from a few millimetres up to several inches, depending on the pavement condition and project requirements. Depth is determined during inspection to ensure proper surface correction and long-term performance.
All milled asphalt — known as Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) — is collected and recycled. It's reused in new asphalt mixes or as aggregate base material, reducing waste and lowering environmental impact.
Yes. Milling is one of the most sustainable pavement restoration methods. Nearly 100% of milled asphalt can be recycled, minimizing landfill use, conserving natural resources, and cutting down on trucking and material costs.
Because milling removes only the surface layer, projects are typically completed much faster than full reconstruction. Most commercial lots and municipal roadways can be milled and resurfaced within one to two days, depending on size and weather.
Absolutely. One of the main benefits of milling is the ability to correct surface slope and drainage issues. By restoring proper grade, we prevent water pooling and extend the life of the new asphalt surface.
Yes. Our milling crews coordinate closely with traffic control and paving teams to minimize disruption. We can complete projects in phases or off-peak hours to maintain access and ensure safety. A milled surface can carry traffic while work continues on other sections.
When properly installed and maintained, a milled and resurfaced pavement can last 15 to 25 years or more, depending on traffic volume, base condition, and maintenance practices.
