What is asphalt milling?
Asphalt milling is the process of removing the top layer of an existing asphalt surface without disturbing the underlying sub-base. This is an efficient and cost-effective method for preparing a surface for repaving. We offer both commercial asphalt milling and residential asphalt milling services to create a smooth, stable foundation for your new pavement.
When is asphalt repair a better option than full replacement?
Asphalt repair is often a suitable solution for localized damage such as potholes, cracks, or minor surface deterioration. If the foundation of your pavement is still stable, targeted repairs can extend the life of your asphalt and improve its appearance.
What areas do you serve?

Can I purchase hot mix asphalt directly from your plant?
Yes, our asphalt plant is a trusted hot mix asphalt supplier for area contractors and municipalities. We can develop a regular asphalt delivery schedule or arrange for pickup to meet your project's specific needs.
What are the benefits of using hot mix asphalt?
Hot mix asphalt is a durable, flexible, and weather-resistant material, making it an ideal choice for the climate in Pennsylvania. It creates a smooth, continuous surface that can withstand heavy traffic and provides excellent longevity with proper maintenance.
What residential paving services do you provide?
Our residential paving services include new driveway installation, asphalt repair for cracks and potholes, surface overlays, and complete removal and replacement. We work closely with homeowners to deliver a finished product that enhances curb appeal and functionality.
How long does a typical asphalt paving project take?
The duration of an asphalt paving project depends on its size and complexity. A standard residential driveway can often be completed in 1-3 days, while larger commercial asphalt paving projects may take longer. Weather conditions can also impact the timeline.
What is the difference between residential and commercial asphalt milling?
While the process is fundamentally the same, commercial asphalt milling is typically performed on a larger scale, covering expansive areas like parking lots or roads. Residential asphalt milling is more focused, usually on driveways or private lanes. Both services effectively prepare the surface for a new layer of asphalt.
