Asphalt milling, also called asphalt grinding, takes the worn top layer off old pavement. Greenfield Pavement Coatings handles asphalt milling for driveways and parking lots around Clarksville and the Nashville area. The cut leaves a rough, grooved surface that new asphalt can grip. On our asphalt repair jobs, the broken area gets milled out first.
We mill repair areas and smaller sections with our own skid steer and its two-foot and four-foot milling attachments. For a whole parking lot, we bring in a full-size milling machine. Milling is one part of our work as an asphalt paving contractor in Clarksville. We look at each job first, then put the quote in writing.

On a pothole or a crumbling edge, the broken asphalt gets milled out before the patch goes in. Our skid steer makes that cut, two feet or four feet wide per pass.
The federal highway agency's patching checklist names a milling machine as one way to cut a patch outline. The outline runs at least a foot past the damage, in a square or a rectangle. The checklist then calls for tack coat on the cut edges before the new asphalt goes in.
NOAA's climate normals give Clarksville about 78 nights a year at or below freezing. Water in a crack freezes and thaws through the winter, and the crack opens wider. By spring, that cracked spot can be a pothole that needs milling out.
A university pavement reference calls milling machines the main way to take an old surface off before an overlay. Milling cuts down ruts and bumps instead of burying them under new asphalt. The grooved surface gives the new layer more to grip. That makes milling the usual first step in asphalt resurfacing.
The same reference says milling keeps curb and gutter lines in place before an overlay. On a driveway, our skid steer mills the strip at the garage floor so the overlay meets it flush.
When a whole parking lot needs milling, we bring in a full-size milling machine. It takes the old asphalt off the lot ahead of parking lot paving. That reference also says a milled surface should be swept or washed before paving, or dust weakens the bond.
Asphalt millings are the ground-up bits of old pavement that come off under the mill. The federal highway agency calls the material reclaimed asphalt pavement, or RAP. Each piece is stone still coated with old asphalt.
A federal highway agency guide estimates that most of it gets reused. Crushed and screened, it goes back into new hot mix asphalt and cold mix. It also serves as base stone under new pavement, or as fill.
