Driveways in Naselle, WA often get damaged after just a few years of heavy use. Pacific County weather brings constant winter downpours, saturated soils, and standing water. Moisture finds its way into every tiny crack in the pavement. Once water gets trapped underneath, freeze-thaw cycles or shifting sub-grades will wreck your surface in no time. When pavement starts showing extensive alligator cracking, severe raveling, or bad ruts, surface patching is not enough. That is when Premium Asphalt looks at Asphalt Milling.

What Asphalt Milling Actually Does

Asphalt Milling is a heavy-duty process where we use specialized grinding equipment to shave off the damaged upper inches of your existing pavement. Instead of tearing out the entire foundation and starting from scratch—which costs a lot of money and tears up your landscaping—Asphalt Milling removes only the compromised surface layer. Premium Asphalt has found that Asphalt Milling works very well on rural residential driveways and commercial parking areas throughout the Naselle valley and up toward the ridge properties. Asphalt Milling leaves behind a clean, heavily textured surface that acts as the ultimate mechanical bond for a fresh, hot-mix overlay.

Saving Money While Fixing Drainage Issues

One of the biggest headaches property owners deal with in Naselle is poor drainage. Heavy seasonal rains can pool near garage doors or wash out the edges of a poorly graded lane. When we perform Asphalt Milling on an old surface, we can precisely adjust the slope and profile of the pavement. We grind down high spots and eliminate depressions where water likes to sit. You get a like-new surface with proper runoff angles, all without paying for a total structural rebuild. In addition, the milled asphalt material gets hauled away to be recycled, which keeps project costs down for property owners in Naselle.

For homes and businesses in Naselle, Premium Asphalt provides Asphalt Milling services when your pavement has seen better days. We make sure your driveway or parking lot is straightened out right the first time.
