Roto Milling
Roto Milling, or grinding and replacing an asphalt parking lot or road before resurfacing is an economical option to avoid costly full depth excavation. Asphalt milling helps to reshape the surface grade for better drainage and help reduce puddles in roads and parking lots.
Asphalt Miling Machine
Milling can also help establish a new crown in roads prior to asphalt repaving. The asphalt milling machine requires an operator and a ground crew in close communication with each other. Millings are recyclable and can be used as an excellent base material in place of rock.
Asphalt Milling Clean Up
Asphalt milling in front of concrete rolled curbs, has to be done by an experienced crew to avoid cracking and gauging of the concrete. As you can see in the picture and the video above, a small section of asphalt remains to then be picked up with a skid loader.
Asphalt Milling Broom Machine
Smaller asphalt debris not picked up by the milling machine or skid loaders, is then picked up by a broom machine with water. It’s important to have the surface as clean as possible before applying a tack coat which is a liquid adhesive to help the new asphalt adhere to the milled surface.
Asphalt Dumping
Trucks haul the asphalt to the job site and pile the asphalt on the old surface. Skid loaders will then pick up the asphalt and dump it into the hopper. The mechanical paving machine is operated by two people on either side, constantly adjusting the machine to ensure the proper thickness of asphalt is being laid over the street or parking lot.
Private Road Paving
The paving machine with two operators, is followed by two lute men, and two shovel guys. The two shovel guys will throw asphalt to an area directed by the lute man. The area may be a low spot which could be a future puddle that needs to be corrected. The lute men are also responsible for smoothing out seams left by the paving machine and compacted by the roller man.
Asphalt Compaction
Asphalt compaction is done by two operators, each on a different size vibratory roller. First, the heavy roller for compaction, then a smaller roller for a smooth even finish. When to begin rolling the new asphalt is critical for a beautiful looking appearance. Most of the positions of a paving crew, require several years of experience. Topps Paving & Sealing, has many team members with 10, 20 and 30 years of experience with Topps.
What Our Customers Are Saying. Our Reviews
Our work speaks for itself. Read what our customers have to say about our exceptional paving and sealing work.
More ReviewsWe had an immediate safety concern involving the need to replace a damaged street drain grate. So, a small project but important to us. Topps responded within less than a week, installing a new drain to our specifications at a fair price. Highly recommend them.
As always, when it comes to Asphalt sealing companies, you always have to be skeptical, and trust me, I was!
I had a great sealing guy. He is no longer around, but his sealing lasted 3 years!
I chose Topps after researching 4 other sealers in the area. I chose Topps because they sounded the most knowledgable about the process and didn’t skimp on quality. Many others water down the the sealer, or will claim one thing and provide another. Topps, was a little more expensive than others, however, they were the only ones that agreed with the type of application I was looking for.
if you get your asphalt sealed, always insist on the use of SealMaster, make sure they add silica sand and Poly Alt 604. The wear and traction from Topps is the best with this combination!…. Also, DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT drive or walk on the driveway for at LEAST 48 hours. I recommend 3-4 days. The extra wait is totally worth it!
At the end of the day, Topps was outstanding. There was a little miscommunication where I wasn’t aware that they were coming, and immediately, they reached out and resolved the issue in a very professional manor.
Since my driveway was sealed I have already had 3 neighbors come to me asking who I used. They all explained that they used another (shall I say “less expensive’) service, and regretted it.
