Milled Driveway vs. New Asphalt Overlay: What NoHo Homeowners Need to Know

When you are thinking about fixing up your Asphalt Driveway in North Hollywood, you have got choices. Understanding the difference between using Asphalt Millings as a surface or doing Milling for a fresh Asphalt Overlay can save you problems and money. Midway Asphalt Solutions knows that homeowners and businesses in North Hollywood want reliable information about their paving options. Asphalt Millings are basically recycled asphalt pavement. These Millings come from old asphalt surfaces that have been ground up. Sometimes, people use these Asphalt Millings as a finished surface for driveways or other areas. This can be a lower-cost option, especially for places like long private driveways or temporary access roads. Midway Asphalt Solutions can help you decide if Asphalt Millings are the right choice for your North Hollywood property. However, using Asphalt Millings as a surface is different from a process called Milling, which is done before a new Asphalt Overlay. When Midway Asphalt Solutions performs Milling, we use special equipment to grind down the top layer of your existing asphalt. This removes the damaged parts of the surface, like cracks or uneven spots, but it leaves the base layer of the pavement in place. This step is important because it creates a smooth and even foundation for the new Asphalt Overlay. Milling also helps with drainage and makes sure the new surface does not get too high, which could cause problems with curbs or sidewalks in North Hollywood. After Midway Asphalt Solutions completes the Milling, we then apply a new layer of hot mix asphalt over the prepared surface. This is called an Asphalt Overlay. An Asphalt Overlay can extend the life of your pavement and make it look much better. It is a good option when your asphalt surface is worn, but the structure underneath is still solid. Midway Asphalt Solutions provides these important Asphalt services to the North Hollywood community.
