Precision Milling From a Technology-Equipped Texas Paving Team

Backed by more than three decades of multi-generational paving experience and grade-control technology, Tex Pave Experts provides precise asphalt milling throughout the DFW metro and Northeast Texas. Milling is technical work where depth and accuracy matter, and our equipment and in-house expertise let us hit consistent results across the entire surface. We have milled for everything from parking lot rehabilitations to TXDOT-standard road projects.

Get the milling depth right and the overlay that follows lasts. That precision is exactly what we bring to every job.

What Asphalt Milling Is

Asphalt milling is the controlled grinding away of a pavement surface to a specified depth. It removes worn or damaged material, corrects grade and drainage problems, and creates a clean, bondable surface for a new overlay. Milling also preserves curb heights and transitions that a simple overlay would otherwise raise.

Types of Milling We Perform

Full-Surface Milling

Removing an entire worn layer ahead of an overlay

Partial-Depth Milling

Targeted removal of damaged sections

Grade Correction Milling

Reshaping the surface to fix slope and drainage

Edge and Transition Milling

Maintaining clean tie-ins at curbs, gutters, and doorways

Our Milling Process

  • Plan and Takeoff – We review the site and calculate depths and quantities in-house
  • Depth Setup – Grade-control technology establishes accurate milling depths across the surface
  • Milling – The worn material is ground away cleanly and to spec
  • Cleanup and Haul-Off – Millings are removed, and the surface is swept clean for the next phase
  • Verification – We confirm depth and grade before overlay or repaving begins

Benefits of Asphalt Milling

  • Better Overlay Bonding – A milled surface gives the new layer something to grip
  • Preserved Clearances – Curb heights, drainage, and door thresholds stay correct
  • Corrected Drainage – Milling reshapes problem slopes before repaving
  • Recyclable Material – Removed millings can often be reused, reducing waste

Frequently Asked Questions

Why mill before overlaying instead of just paving over the top?

Milling keeps the surface at the correct height and removes failed material, so the new overlay bonds properly and clearances around curbs and doorways stay right.

What happens to the milled material?

We haul it off and, in many cases, it can be recycled into new asphalt, which is one of the more sustainable aspects of pavement work.

Can milling fix drainage problems?

Often, yes. By reshaping the surface to a corrected grade, milling can redirect water away from ponding areas before the new surface goes down.
