Asphalt Milling Newburgh
Is your asphalt surface still pooling water even after multiple patches and overlays? Maybe the surface feels uneven, or the asphalt now sits higher than curbs, driveways, or garage entrances. Simply adding more layers won’t solve the problem. At AMR Paving & Masonry, we offer asphalt milling service in Newburgh and surrounding communities within 10 miles, including New Windsor, Cornwall, Beacon, Fishkill, Marlboro, Highland, Wappingers Falls, Montgomery, Walden, Cold Spring, Chelsea, and Poughkeepsie.
We fix these issues at the source by resetting the top layer of your pavement to the correct height and slope. Our team removes a precise, controlled depth of old asphalt to eliminate uneven areas. We then adjust elevations and slopes to ensure proper drainage. The result is a clean, stable surface that’s ready for a durable new overlay, without the cost or downtime of a full tear-out.
What Is Asphalt Milling?
Asphalt milling, or cold planing, is the process of removing the top layer of asphalt that is either worn out or damaged. The surface is ground to an exact depth by specialized milling machines, which leaves the healthy base layer intact. It removes the irregularities and prepares the surface for a smooth overlay.
Asphalt Milling Applications in Newburgh
Asphalt milling is used in a wide range of projects across Newburgh and surrounding Hudson Valley communities, from residential driveways to municipal roads and commercial parking lots. It’s ideal for:
- Commercial parking lots that have become uneven or developed drainage problems.
- Residential driveways where repeated overlays have raised the asphalt above curbs or garage thresholds.
- Industrial and municipal pavements that need resurfacing without removing the entire base.
- Roadway maintenance projects requiring a smoother, safer driving surface.
Benefits of Asphalt Milling
By resetting elevations and profiling the surface, asphalt milling restores function and longevity to damaged pavement. The process:
- Improves drainage by restoring slope and eliminating standing water.
- Ensures smooth transitions to curbs and ADA ramps for safer access.
- Removes surface wear such as ruts, cracking, and oxidation.
- Preserves the pavement base, saving time and cost on reconstruction.
- Promotes sustainability by recycling milled asphalt into RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) for future use.
When Is Milling the Right Choice?
If your pavement’s foundation is stable but the surface is tired, milling is the fastest, cleanest way to correct problems that overlays can’t. In Newburgh, NY, where steep grades, heavy traffic from I-84/I-87, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles take a toll on asphalt, milling is the smart choice when:
- Your pavement is uneven or rutted: Common on older commercial lots, industrial sites, and delivery areas where heavy traffic causes depressions.
- Overlays have raised the grade too high: Milling resets asphalt height around curbs, doors, and storefronts for proper alignment.
- Water isn’t draining properly: Especially important in hillside neighborhoods and waterfront properties where runoff can cause pooling or erosion.
- Transitions need to be smooth: Creates clean, level tie-ins at manholes, ramps, and concrete pads to meet ADA compliance standards.
- You need minimal downtime: Milling allows fast, phased resurfacing that keeps Route 300, Broadway, and other Newburgh business corridors open during peak hours.
By addressing these conditions early, asphalt milling extends pavement life, prevents structural failure, and prepares the surface for long-term performance.
WE ARE THE BEST IN BUSINESS
Our Milling & Resurfacing Process
A set process is how we keep schedules and quality tight. We confirm the scope on site, communicate traffic plans, and sequence work so areas can reopen quickly.
- Assess & mark: We evaluate base stability, mark milling depths and limits, and plan transitions at doors, drains, and concrete interfaces.
- Precision mill: Using a cold planer, we remove the specified depth (full or partial), maintaining profile and cross‑slope for proper water flow.
- Clean & prepare: We thoroughly sweep and clean the surface, removing fines to ensure tack and new asphalt can bond.
- Tack, pave & compact: We apply tack coat, place the new lift(s), and compact to density using the right roller sequence.
- Quality check & striping: We verify transitions, drainage, and finish, then stripe and reopen lanes per the traffic plan.
