Revitalize your commercial parking lot with efficient, cost-effective asphalt restoration performed by our specialized Twin Cities crews.
When your commercial parking lot shows signs of extensive surface wear, a complete tear-out isn't always the only answer. At ACT Asphalt Specialties, we provide professional asphalt milling services to help property managers and business owners maximize their paving budgets.
With over 40 years of commercial paving experience in the Twin Cities, our team is highly skilled at evaluating your lot's underlying structure. If your subgrade is still stable, we can utilize advanced milling and reclaiming techniques to prepare your lot for a fresh, structurally sound surface, ensuring you get the best possible return on your investment.
Understanding the difference between asphalt milling and asphalt reclaiming can help you make an informed decision about your property's pavement. Both methods are highly beneficial for commercial properties that need parking lot repaving but want to avoid the massive cost and downtime of a full excavation.
Pavement milling involves using a specialized machine to grind away and remove the top layer of existing, deteriorated asphalt while leaving the foundational subgrade completely intact. This is ideal when the base is still strong, but the surface has failed, or when you need to match the height of existing concrete curbs and gutters perfectly.
If the existing pavement is severely cracked or the base needs reinforcement, asphalt reclaiming (also known as full-depth reclamation) is the answer. Instead of hauling the old asphalt away, a machine pulverizes the existing pavement and blends it directly into the underlying gravel subgrade. This creates an incredibly strong, reinforced base for the new asphalt pour.
Both processes are incredibly cost-effective and environmentally friendly because they recycle existing materials and reduce hauling fees. More importantly, they drastically speed up the repaving timeline, minimizing the disruption to your tenants and daily business operations.
With 60% of our business dedicated to commercial and property management projects, we know how to execute complex jobs smoothly and efficiently.
Milling is the perfect solution when your asphalt surface is heavily aged, cracked, or raveling, but the underlying gravel subgrade remains structurally sound and dry. It is also required when the new pavement needs to tie flush into existing concrete curbs or garage aprons.
Yes. Reclaiming recycles your existing pavement by grinding it up and using it to strengthen your new base layer. This keeps old asphalt out of landfills and reduces the emissions associated with trucking in brand-new gravel.
Absolutely. By leaving the existing base intact or recycling the old asphalt on-site, you save significantly on excavation labor, new base materials, and heavy hauling fees.
