Asphalt Milling in Athens, GA
Precision milling that sets up a lasting resurfacing job
Milling (also called cold planing) removes a controlled layer of worn asphalt using a milling machine, restoring proper grade before an overlay and recycling the removed material. It's the step that keeps curb heights, drain elevations, and door thresholds correct when a lot or road has multiple old overlays stacked on top of each other.
Athens Asphalt Repair operates milling equipment for both targeted repairs (trench and utility-cut milling) and full-lot or roadway projects, and we coordinate material recycling wherever possible.
Signs You Need Milling
- Asphalt has been overlaid multiple times and curb heights are now off
- Uneven transitions at drains, doorways, or gutters
- A large section needs full-depth reclamation before resurfacing
- Utility cuts or trenches need a clean, level surface restored
- Municipal or large commercial projects requiring exact grade specs
Our Milling Process
- 1
Survey & grade plan
We measure existing elevations against target grades (drains, curbs, thresholds) to plan milling depth.
- 2
Mill to target depth
Our milling equipment removes asphalt in a precise, uniform depth across the marked area.
- 3
Haul & recycle millings
Removed asphalt (RAP) is hauled off and recycled into new asphalt mix wherever possible, reducing waste.
- 4
Prep for overlay
The milled surface is cleaned and tack-coated, ready for a new asphalt layer to bond properly.

- Removes severely worn surface layers without full excavation
- Sets up a longer-lasting, better-bonded resurfacing job
- Recycled millings reduce landfill waste and material cost
- Ideal for large commercial and municipal-scale projects
