Asphalt Milling & Removal

Asphalt pavement takes a beating from vehicles, UV rays, and changing weather. Over time, surfaces can crack, rut, or become uneven. When the foundation is still solid, asphalt milling and removal provides an efficient way to restore the surface without starting over.

This process removes the top layer of damaged asphalt while keeping the base intact. It’s a cost-effective and practical option for extending pavement life while improving surface quality and safety.

Asphalt Milling and Removal Process

Asphalt milling and removal involves grinding off the upper layer of asphalt, usually between 1 to 3 inches deep. Specialized machines smooth out cracks, dips, and other surface issues. After milling, the area is ready for a new asphalt overlay that bonds well with the remaining structure.

This method is ideal for roads, parking lots, and driveways with moderate surface damage. Plus, the milled material is often recycled, making it an eco-friendly way to manage pavement restoration.

When Full Asphalt Replacement Is the Better Option

While asphalt milling and removal works well for surface-level issues, it may not be enough for deeper problems. If the base is unstable, waterlogged, or deteriorated, full removal is necessary. In this case, all asphalt layers are removed and the base is rebuilt before repaving.

Complete pavement removal offers a long-term solution for severely damaged surfaces and helps prevent costly future repairs.

Advantages of Asphalt Surface Restoration

Choosing asphalt milling and removal can significantly extend the lifespan of your pavement. It improves ride quality, enhances appearance, and helps maintain safety standards.

By restoring only the surface layer, you save on materials, labor, and downtime—while protecting your underlying investment. If you’re noticing surface damage but your base is still in good shape, this solution may be the best fit for your needs.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

To deal with a company that does what they say they will is a pleasure. What really astounded me in today's world was the quality and efficiency of their work crews, which happens as a prep/road base crew 1st and then an asphalt crew. Both crews ran like clockwork and you could watch how each man knew what to do and did it right. My job was done very well, and they cleaned up the road after. I would certainly recommend anyone to Eckles Paving anytime

Eckles paving has done work over the years for many State Agencies in Utah and has always been professional and conscientious. As the Engineer on some of these projects I have enjoyed working with them and have found that their new paving and paving maintenance work is done correctly and in accordance with the bid and our direction.

My parking lot Super Hero's! Eckles paving was Fair, Fast and Friendly! never had so much fun replacing a parking lot! I'm being totally serious. Attention to detail, easy to work with and competitive in price set them apart. I shopped four other companies and I'm so happy I went with Eckles. Amazing experience! They had my 4,000+ sq. ft. parking lot demoed, regraded, paved and striped at Super Hero Speed!

Reed S. – Property Owner

If you need any type of asphalt driveway treatment, repair or other services...call Eckles Paving! My (very challenging) driveway looks brand new! Couldn't be happier. Thank you Eckles Paving for a job well done at a great price.

Matt Y. – Homeowner

In 2016 - 2017 we have built 7 Quick Quack Car Washes along the Wasatch Front. We have had the need to do some asphalt work on the different sites. And each time the need has come up, we have called on Eckles Paving to get the job done. The job has always been completed to our high standards. I cannot say enough great things about this company. Very pleasant to deal with. I would refer them to anyone that ask.

Mark L. – Retail

I trust Eckles completely. They are honest and fair. If you’re getting quotes that are substantially different than theirs, do some research to find out why. There are a lot of shortcuts that vendors can take to shave money off, but for an asset that is this big, you need someone to be honest with you!
