What Is Asphalt Milling
Asphalt milling is the process of removing the top layer of damaged asphalt to prepare the surface for a new overlay. Instead of tearing up the entire pavement, milling allows us to retain the strong base and fix only the surface layer. This makes it a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for improving pavement without full replacement.
Key Benefits of Asphalt Milling:
Common uses include driveway milling, parking lot milling, and road milling services for both residential and commercial properties.
What Is Asphalt Resurfacing?
Once milling is completed, asphalt resurfacing involves laying a fresh layer of hot mix asphalt (usually 1.5–2 inches thick) over the prepped surface. This gives your pavement a new, smooth, and professional finish without the cost of full demolition.
Benefits of Asphalt Resurfacing:
Whether you need resurfacing asphalt parking lots, resurfacing blacktop driveways, or commercial asphalt resurfacing, we provide solutions that last.

The Asphalt Milling and Resurfacing Process: How We Restore Strength and Longevity to Your Pavement
Asphalt surfaces don’t last forever, but with professional milling and resurfacing, you can breathe new life into driveways, parking lots, and roadways without the need for full reconstruction. At Gallant Seamless Paving, we follow a proven step-by-step process that ensures precision, quality, and long-lasting results for every residential and commercial paving project in Northern Virginia.
1. Site Evaluation & Planning
Every successful asphalt resurfacing job begins with a thorough evaluation of the existing pavement. Our experienced team inspects the surface for cracks, potholes, low spots, drainage problems, and general wear. This inspection helps determine how deep the milling should go and whether any structural repairs are needed before resurfacing. Based on the findings, we create a tailored plan that aligns with the property’s usage, traffic demands, and long-term goals.
2. Surface Preparation
Before milling begins, the work area is fully prepared. All debris, vehicles, and obstacles are cleared from the surface to ensure safety and efficiency. For larger or high-traffic areas, we implement traffic control strategies to minimize disruption. Utility access points, curbs, and other features are either protected or adjusted as needed. This step ensures that nothing interferes with the milling equipment or the paving crew during operations.
3. Asphalt Milling
With the site ready, the milling process begins. Our state-of-the-art milling machines grind away the top layer of asphalt to the specified depth- typically between one to three inches, without disturbing the stable base underneath. This removes surface damage and irregularities while creating a clean, textured surface that will properly bond with the new layer. The removed asphalt is collected and often recycled, making this an environmentally responsible approach to pavement restoration.
4. Cleaning and Tack Coating
Once milling is complete, the exposed surface is thoroughly cleaned using industrial-grade sweepers and blowers. All dust, debris, and leftover particles are removed to allow proper adhesion of the new asphalt. A tack coat is then applied across the milled surface. This asphalt-based emulsion acts like glue, creating a strong bond between the old layer and the new asphalt overlay to prevent shifting or separation in the future.
5. Asphalt Resurfacing
Now that the base is clean and prepped, hot mix asphalt is poured and evenly spread across the surface using precision paving equipment. The new layer is carefully leveled and compacted using heavy rollers to ensure a smooth, dense, and long-lasting finish. This overlay restores the pavement’s appearance and functionality, improving skid resistance, load-bearing capacity, and structural integrity.
6. Striping and Marking (if needed)
For commercial properties such as parking lots, roadways, or multi-use spaces, striping and pavement markings are applied after the new asphalt has set. This includes parking stalls, directional arrows, fire lanes, handicap-accessible spaces, and any other necessary markings to comply with local regulations. Clean, visible striping improves both aesthetics and safety.
7. Final Inspection and Cleanup
Once resurfacing is complete, our our paving contractors & experts conduct a final walk-through to ensure every aspect of the project meets our quality standards and your instructions. We inspect the surface for smoothness, consistency, drainage, and adhesion. After final approval, all equipment and materials are removed from the site, leaving behind a clean, polished, and professionally resurfaced asphalt surface ready to use.

I searched out some paving businesses and had Stephen come out after I looked into Gallaher. The reason I did in the first place was their focus on PREPARATION and DRAINAGE. Sure enough, that’s mostly what we discussed when he came out to quote the job. He told me exactly what the plan was for making the driveway hold in the extreme rains which washed out my gravel mess. He also told me about his experiences with other companies and how he came up — about the practices which he saw worked and what didn’t — and how he applied that to his company. He also said he would be at the job — doing the job — and that I should contact him should there be any issues. This is what I was after.
Preparing the driveway was day one of a three-day job. These guys went all day prepping the driveway. They probably brought in 3 or 4 dump truck loads of gravel and other rock just for the driveway base. Stephen and his crew cut the driveway for my main drainage pipe, shaped the sides up and down and worked in the gravel for the driveway with the skid steer. The most impressive part of day one was the rip rock install — this is the huge rock line in the picture. This was a 2 dump truck load and these dudes laid it by HAND. I think they went 8am to 7pm on day 1 — it was really something.
Day 2 continued with prep work.
Day 3 was paving day. If you haven’t seen this before you’ll be impressed. He brought in a supplemental crew to assist spreading and rolling the asphalt. This was another 3 or 4 dump truck loads. They wrapped this up in a few hours but not before cleaning up the edges and tidying up the road.
I am really happy with this job and this company. I appreciate how I was treated during the quote and how thorough Stephen was about what to expect. As far a the work, it was really well done and I’m really blown away by how much effort and attention to detail these guys put in. It must have been 90 degrees the whole time too. I’ve spoken with him since and he’s even come by the check on the drive since the install.
If you’re ready to pull the trigger on a paved driveway you should give Stephen a call. You won’t be disappointed!
