Asphalt Milling & Reclamation

Done Right the First Time by TDS Asphalt – A Local, Family-Owned Asphalt Contractor

When it’s time to repair or replace your asphalt surface, you want a solution that’s effective, long-lasting, and handled by professionals who truly care. At TDS Asphalt, we specialize in asphalt milling and reclamation services throughout Massachusetts. Whether you’re a homeowner with a crumbling driveway or a business owner managing a deteriorating parking lot, we’re here to help — with expert craftsmanship, open communication, and honest work.

As a family-owned company, we treat every project like it’s our own. For us, that means doing the job right the first time and never cutting corners. Our reputation depends on the quality we deliver every day, and we take that seriously.


What Is Asphalt Milling & Reclamation?

Asphalt milling is the process of removing the top layer of old asphalt to create a smooth and even surface for repaving. It’s ideal for roads, driveways, and parking lots that are structurally sound but have surface damage like cracks, ruts, or uneven sections.

Full-depth reclamation, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive process. It involves pulverizing both the asphalt and a portion of the underlying base material, then stabilizing and grading that mix to form a new foundation. This is typically used when the pavement structure has deeper issues and needs more than just a surface fix.

Both methods are cost-effective, eco-friendly, and highly durable solutions to restore your asphalt surfaces without the cost and disruption of total reconstruction.


Who Benefits from These Services?

We recommend asphalt milling and reclamation for:

  • Municipalities resurfacing roads or bike paths

  • Commercial properties with aging parking lots or loading areas

  • Residential homeowners looking to repair or upgrade long driveways

  • Property managers responsible for condo complexes or private roads

Whether you own a small business or a large property, these services offer long-term value and performance you can trust.


Our Step-by-Step Process

At TDS Asphalt, our goal is to make the process clear, smooth, and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect when you hire us:

1. Initial Consultation & Site Evaluation

We begin by visiting your property to assess the condition of your pavement. We’ll walk the area, look for structural issues, and discuss your goals and budget. We explain your options in plain language and help you choose between milling or full-depth reclamation, depending on what your surface needs.

2. Custom Quote & Scheduling

Once we understand the scope, we provide a clear, detailed estimate with no hidden costs. When you’re ready, we schedule the work at a time that minimizes disruption to your home or business.

3. Milling or Reclamation Work

  • For milling, we use specialized machines to remove the top layer of asphalt without disturbing the base. This process is efficient and results in a clean, level surface ready for fresh asphalt.

  • For full-depth reclamation, we pulverize the entire asphalt layer and blend it with part of the underlying base. We may also add stabilizing agents like cement or asphalt emulsion, then compact and grade the area to create a strong, reusable base.

4. Paving & Finishing

Once the surface is ready, we pave over it with new hot-mix asphalt. We ensure the slope and drainage are perfect, and compact everything for maximum strength and smoothness.

5. Final Inspection & Cleanup

We walk the site with you, check for any concerns, and make sure you’re 100% satisfied. We clean up all equipment and debris, leaving the site neat and professional.

Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Results

Once your milling or reclamation project is complete, a little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your new surface in top shape:

  • Wait Before Driving: Let fresh asphalt cure for at least 24–48 hours before driving on it. Avoid sharp turns or heavy loads in the first few days.

  • Sealcoat Regularly: Every 3–5 years, consider applying a sealcoat to protect against water, sun, and chemical damage.

  • Fix Small Issues Promptly: Address small cracks and potholes early to prevent larger, costlier repairs.

  • Keep It Clean: Sweep away dirt and debris regularly. Oil stains can be cleaned with degreasers or specialty cleaners.

  • Watch for Drainage Issues: Ensure water isn’t pooling on your surface, which can weaken asphalt over time.

And of course, if you ever need help, we’re only a call away.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does asphalt milling take?

Most residential milling projects are completed in 1–2 days, depending on the size of the area. Commercial jobs may take longer, but we’ll always give you a timeline upfront.

What’s the difference between milling and full-depth reclamation?

Milling removes just the top layer of asphalt for repaving. Full-depth reclamation digs deeper — pulverizing both the asphalt and base to create a new, stabilized foundation.

Is reclamation better than total replacement?

Often, yes. It reuses existing materials, saves on cost, and strengthens the base — all with less disruption and landfill waste.

How long will the new surface last?

With proper maintenance, a surface restored by milling or reclamation can last 15–20 years or more.

Can I drive on the surface right away?

You should wait at least 24–48 hours after paving. We’ll give you clear instructions on when it’s safe to use the surface again.
