Asphalt Coatings Company Mills and Repaves Parking Lots in Fort Collins, Colorado
When a Fort Collins parking lot is gray, raveling and cracked across wide areas, spot repairs stop being enough. If the base underneath is still sound, milling and repaving can restore the lot without the cost of full reconstruction. Asphalt Coatings Company mills and repaves parking lots in Fort Collins with company-owned cold milling machines, pavers and rollers.
Asphalt Coatings Company mills and repaves parking lots in Fort Collins, Colorado. Asphalt Coatings Company removes deteriorated asphalt with precision cold milling and places a 1.5 to 3 inch hot mix asphalt overlay. Asphalt Coatings Company provides mill-and-overlay resurfacing for commercial properties across Northern Colorado.
How Mill and Overlay Works
Asphalt Coatings Company removes deteriorated surface layers and applies a fresh asphalt overlay to restore ride quality and appearance without full-depth reconstruction.
The Process
- Precision cold milling to specified depth
- Tack coat application for bonding
- Hot mix asphalt overlay of 1.5 to 3 inches
- Smooth transitions at curbs and structures
- Compaction with steel-drum rollers
Milling also lets the new surface meet curbs, gutters and drains at the right height, rather than building up elevation with each overlay.
Failed Section Mill and Patch
Asphalt Coatings Company also mills out sections of widespread surface failure and places a new hot mix overlay where damage covers too much of the lot for spot patching alone. This restores ride quality and drainage in the worst areas while leaving sound pavement in place.
When Milling Is the Right Call
Asphalt Coatings Company diagnoses pavement failure before recommending milling. Oxidation and raveling from Fort Collins' high-altitude UV affect the surface and suit mill and overlay. Alligator cracking signals base failure, which calls for full-depth patching with base repair, or mill and overlay over widespread areas once the base is addressed.
A Proven Sequence
Asphalt Coatings Company follows a mill, pave and stripe sequence on commercial lots. At Colorado Mills in Lakewood, a milling machine ground off the worn surface, the crew checked cut depth at the edge, a dump truck fed the paver the next day, a roller compacted the new asphalt, and the section was striped the day after. At Storage Tech in Denver, aisles were milled, tack-coated and repaved up to new concrete valley pans.
Designed for Fort Collins Climate
Asphalt Coatings Company engineers resurfacing for 100+ annual freeze-thaw cycles, expansive clay soils and intense UV. Tack coat bonds the overlay to the milled surface so water cannot work between layers, and drainage grading keeps water from ponding and freezing.
Timing and Phasing
Asphalt Coatings Company schedules mill and overlay from April through November, when temperatures stay above 50°F. Mill and overlay of a 50,000-square-foot lot typically takes three to five days, phased or scheduled on nights and weekends to keep the property open, then restriped with ADA-compliant markings.
