What Is Asphalt Milling?

As a veteran-owned asphalt contractor serving Orlando, FL, DNE Asphalt Services provides professional asphalt milling using specialized equipment and trained operators. Milling removes the top layer of deteriorated asphalt to a precise depth, creating a clean, textured surface ideal for overlay installation. This technical process requires experienced crews who understand proper depth control, grade maintenance, and surface preparation—expertise our craftsmen have developed over decades in the paving industry.

Property managers and facility owners throughout Kissimmee, Sanford, Winter Park, and Central Florida trust our milling capabilities when existing curb heights must be maintained or when surface preparation is critical for overlay success.

Types of Milling Applications

We provide milling services for various commercial and municipal applications:

  • Full-Depth Milling — Complete removal of asphalt surfaces, typically 2-4 inches deep, before overlay or reconstruction
  • Profile Milling — Removal of surface irregularities and rutting while maintaining overall pavement structure
  • Parking Lot Milling — Commercial applications where curb and gutter heights must remain consistent after overlay
  • Roadway Milling — Municipal and private road applications requiring precise grade control for drainage
  • Spot Milling — Targeted removal in specific areas to address isolated deterioration or transitions

  • Project Planning — We review grade requirements, verify utility locations, and establish depth specifications with you before mobilizing equipment
  • Site Preparation — Our crews mark utilities, protect adjacent surfaces, and set up traffic control to ensure safe operations
  • Precision Milling — Our milling machines remove asphalt to specified depths while creating the textured surface needed for optimal overlay bonding
  • Depth Verification — We verify removal depths throughout the project, ensuring consistent results and proper grades
  • Material Removal — Milled asphalt is loaded and hauled away, or stockpiled for recycling based on project requirements
  • Surface Inspection — We inspect the milled surface for quality, verifying it’s ready for the next phase of your paving project
  • Complete Cleanup — After milling operations, we sweep and clean thoroughly, removing all debris from your Orlando property

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep can you mill asphalt?

Our equipment can mill asphalt from 1 inch to 6+ inches deep depending on project requirements. Most commercial parking lot milling projects in Orlando remove 1.5 to 2 inches before overlay installation, but we adjust depths based on your specific needs.

What happens to the milled asphalt material?

Milled asphalt is typically hauled to recycling facilities where it’s processed and reused in new asphalt production. This sustainable approach reduces landfill waste and conserves natural resources. Some projects allow material to remain on-site for use as base material.

Can you mill just part of a parking lot?

Yes, we perform spot milling for isolated areas or phase milling operations to keep portions of your parking lot operational during construction. We work with property managers to develop schedules that minimize business disruption.

How long does milling take?

Milling operations proceed quickly compared to full reconstruction. A typical commercial parking lot might be milled in 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. We provide specific timelines during your on-site estimate based on square footage and depth requirements.

Do you provide milling and overlay together?

Yes, we offer complete mill and overlay services as a turnkey solution. This is one of the most cost-effective ways to rehabilitate deteriorating parking lots while maintaining existing curb heights and drainage systems.
