Asphalt Milling Poughkeepsie, NY
You’ve patched the same spots, added overlays, and yet the problems remain: water still collects, surfaces feel rough, and curbs or doors sit too low compared to the asphalt. Simply adding more layers isn’t gonna fix it.
AMR Paving & Masonry offers asphalt milling service in Poughkeepsie, NY, which resets the top of your pavement to the correct height and slope. We remove a controlled depth of the old asphalt, correct elevations and slopes for proper drainage, and deliver a clean, stable surface ready for a durable new overlay—without the cost and downtime of tearing everything out.
What Is Asphalt Milling?
Asphalt milling—also called cold planing—is the process of removing just the top layer of damaged or worn asphalt while leaving the strong base layer intact. Using specialized machinery, we grind down the surface to a set depth, haul away the debris, and leave a clean, even foundation for fresh asphalt.
By “resetting” elevations and profiling the surface, milling:
- Eliminates puddles and birdbaths by correcting the slope
- Prevents curb and ADA ramp lips when you pave the new lift
- Removes surface defects (ruts, shoving, oxidation) before overlay
- Preserves the base when it’s still structurally sound
- Supports sustainability with recycled asphalt pavement (RAP)

When Is Milling the Right Choice?
Milling is ideal when your pavement’s foundation is stable but the surface is worn or uneven. It’s the right solution when:
- Your lot is uneven or rutted
- Previous overlays have raised the grade
- Drainage fails and water collects
- Tie-ins to ramps and concrete must be seamless
- You want a fast, low-disruption solution
This applies to commercial, municipal, and residential pavements across Poughkeepsie, NY.
