When worn pavement needs a new surface, you shouldn’t have to tear out usable materials unnecessarily. Asphalt milling removes a specified portion of existing asphalt before installing a new surface, making it a practical option for resurfacing commercial parking lots, roadways, and other paved areas.
Blackjack Paving provides asphalt milling services and full-depth reclamation for commercial and industrial properties across Georgia. For over 35 years, we’ve been known for dedicated commercial paving excellence.
Milling removes worn or rutted asphalt and lowers the surface where added height has caused problems without rebuilding pavement layers that are still in good condition. This offers several practical benefits for commercial parking lots, access roads, and industrial pavement:
Prepare for Resurfacing: Milling removes deteriorated asphalt before asphalt resurfacing and paving, giving you room for a new surface without continuing to build up pavement over the existing area.
Manage Surface Elevations: Milling lets you remove asphalt where added height could create problems at curbs, property entrances, adjoining pavement, and other fixed features. If water management is also a concern, drainage improvements address issues beyond the milling work.
If deterioration extends into the base or other underlying layers, milling the surface will not correct the failure. Those areas may require base repair, reclamation, or removal and replacement instead.

How deep the pavement has failed changes the type of rehabilitation it may need. Milling removes a specified portion of the existing asphalt, while deeper failures can push the project toward reclamation or removal and replacement.
| Approach | When It Fits | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Milling & Resurfacing | Surface wear without full-depth failure | Removes asphalt to a specified depth and adds new asphalt |
| Full-Depth Reclamation | Deeper deterioration requiring base renewal | Recycles pavement and underlying material into a new base for asphalt |
| Removal & Replacement | Failed layers requiring excavation | Removes failed pavement layers and rebuilds the affected area |
If you’re weighing milling versus paving, Blackjack Paving will evaluate your property, determine how far the deterioration extends, and recommend the best solution.
Our asphalt milling contractors evaluate the pavement, take measurements, and assess the scope of the work, including any problem areas that may require repairs beyond milling.
We coordinate around entrances, parking areas, delivery routes, and other access points your property relies on. When site conditions and the project scope allow, we phase the work in sections to keep your property as accessible as possible.
Once the work area is ready, our team mills the asphalt and clears loose material and debris. Completing the milling prepares the area for other specified repairs and repaving.
We complete any specified pavement repairs before installing the new asphalt. For parking lots, our striping services and pavement markings provide the finishing touches to make your space accessible and easy to navigate.

Asphalt milling costs depend on the area size, milling depth, site access, material handling, and whether the project also includes repairs or resurfacing. Blackjack Paving bases your quote on the pavement conditions and work required, so the price reflects your actual paving needs rather than a one-size-fits-all rate.
No. Milling may be needed when an overlay would raise the pavement too high at curbs, entrances, or adjoining surfaces, when deteriorated asphalt needs removal, or when existing grades affect how water moves across the pavement. If the pavement can support the overlay without those issues, you may not need milling at all.
Project size, pavement condition, site access, weather, and any repairs or repaving all affect the timeline. Your project schedule should account for each stage of the work, including when milled, repaired, or newly paved areas can reopen to traffic.
In most cases, yes. We phase our work to keep portions of the property accessible. But active milling and paving areas need to remain restricted. We account for entrances, deliveries, tenant access, customer parking, and traffic flow when determining how the work moves across your property.
Milled asphalt can be processed into reclaimed asphalt pavement, or RAP, for reuse in pavement materials. Project specifications and recycling arrangements determine how crews handle the removed material.
Whether you need to resurface a worn parking lot or address deeper pavement rehabilitation, Blackjack Paving brings commercial asphalt milling experience to parking lots, roadways, and industrial sites across Georgia. Our team helps you get the most out of your pavement while keeping your property safe and accessible.
