Asphalt Milling Wappinger Falls

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 Wappingers Falls, 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 by reclaiming millings for recycling (RAP)

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. It’s the right choice in cases when:

Your lot is uneven or rutted: Milling restores a smooth ride before overlay.
Overlays have raised the grade: We reset elevations at curbs, doors, and sidewalks.
Drainage fails: Milling re-establishes the proper slope to catch basins.
Tie-ins must be seamless: Clean cuts at manholes, ramps, and concrete pads.

You want minimal disruption: Fast, phased work keeps businesses open.

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.
