Asphalt Milling in Independence, MO
Precision milling to remove failed asphalt and prepare Independence, MO lots for a fresh surface.
When does a Independence parking lot need asphalt milling?
Milling removes the top layer of deteriorated asphalt using a cold planing machine, leaving the base course intact and ready for a fresh overlay. In Independence, we see milling needed most often on lots that have been patched repeatedly, where multiple asphalt layers have built up over the decades, or where the surface has developed severe rutting from heavy traffic near Independence Center District and Noland Fashion Square. Milling is also required when you need to match curb heights, maintain drainage grades, or meet ADA slope requirements at lot entrances.
How does the milling process work in Independence?
Our milling machine grinds the asphalt surface to a precise depth — usually 1.5 to 3 inches depending on what the lot needs. The millings are loaded directly into dump trucks and hauled off or recycled. Along busy corridors like Noland Rd and I-70 in Independence, we phase the work so your lot stays partially accessible during milling. Once the surface is milled, we sweep and inspect the exposed base before any new asphalt goes down. This step is critical because it reveals hidden base failures that would wreck a new overlay if left unaddressed.
