When it comes to asphalt repair and maintenance, there are two main options: milling and inlay or full remove and replace. Both methods can be effective for restoring the functionality and appearance of your pavement, but which one is right for your project? Let’s take a closer look at the differences between milling and inlay and full remove and replace.
Milling and inlay is a process that involves removing the top layer of damaged or deteriorated asphalt and replacing it with a new layer of asphalt. This process is typically used for pavement that has minor damage or wear and tear. It is a cost-effective option that can help to extend the life of your pavement, while also restoring its appearance and functionality.
Full remove and replace, as the name suggests, involves removing the entire layer of damaged or deteriorated asphalt and replacing it with a new layer of asphalt. This process is typically used for pavement that has extensive damage or has reached the end of its useful life. It is a more expensive option, but it provides a more long-term solution that can last for many years.
So, which option is right for your project? It depends on several factors, including the extent of the damage, the age of the pavement, and your budget. If your pavement has minor damage or wear and tear, milling and inlay may be the best option. It can restore the functionality and appearance of your pavement at a lower cost than full remove and replace.
However, if your pavement has extensive damage or has reached the end of its useful life, full remove and replace may be necessary. This process provides a more long-term solution that can last for many years, ensuring that you get the most value out of your investment.
In conclusion, the choice between milling and inlay or full remove and replace depends on the specific needs of your project.
