Commercial Concrete

Paving Services

Larsco offers a variety of commercial concrete services in Akron, Cuyahoga Falls and surrounding areas. From catch basins to curbs, sidewalks and complete parking lots. We take great pains to carefully assess the existing conditions and investigate underlying soil properties to ensure the best possible application processes that will provide a surface that will serve you and your customers for years to come.


We discuss each project with our clients to best understand and assess the environment and requirements for each job that we do. With an excellent staff and premium equipment, we have what it takes for a well-executed commercial concrete solution for the many services that we offer.

  • Choosing Between Concrete Asphalt

    Concrete and asphalt both have their benefits and when choosing between the two, it often comes down to personal preference and what fits within your budget. For this reason, we offer both and are willing to help you determine which is right for the specific needs of your business or space. Concrete has the ability to be enhanced in unique ways that asphalt cannot. It also has an extensive life with proper upkeep and care.

  • ADA Accessible Parking

    We specialize in providing restriping and accessible parking spaces as required by the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. We are skilled in various aspects of ADA Design, including the minimum number of accessible parking spaces, distance route from accessible entrance, removing barriers to proper access, and properly sized parking spaces for cars and van-accessible spaces.

When asphalt surfaces show signs of wear, unevenness, or drainage problems, asphalt milling offers a practical, cost-effective solution without the need for complete tear-out and replacement. At Larsco Construction, we provide professional asphalt milling services for homeowners, businesses, and property managers across the Akron area and beyond. Whether it's a driveway, private roadway, or commercial lot, milling prepares your surface for a clean, long-lasting overlay that restores function and appearance.


We bring years of hands-on experience, industry knowledge, and a reputation for honest service. Our milling work ensures your new asphalt surface bonds correctly, drains properly, and maintains structural integrity long after the project is completed.

What Is Asphalt Milling?

Asphalt milling is the process of removing a specific layer of asphalt from an existing paved surface. Using heavy-duty milling machines equipped with rotating drums and carbide cutters, we grind down the top layer of asphalt to a precise depth usually 1 to 3 inches without disturbing the sub-base beneath.


This technique creates a clean, even surface ready for a new layer of asphalt to be installed directly on top. It allows for seamless transitions between new and old pavement, preserves existing drainage grades, and eliminates the need for full-depth removal.


Unlike resurfacing alone, milling allows us to correct surface height issues, improve slope and runoff, and prepare the surface for a more durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. The removed asphalt is collected and recycled, making milling an environmentally friendly solution as well.

When to Consider Asphalt Milling

Milling is ideal when the existing asphalt is still structurally sound but has developed surface-level issues such as:


  • Shallow potholes or surface rutting
  • Minor cracks or rough patches
  • Water pooling or poor drainage
  • Surface height mismatches near curbs, aprons, or garage entrances
  • Uneven transitions between older pavement and newer sections


If your driveway or lot shows signs of age but doesn’t require full reconstruction, milling can save time and money while delivering excellent results. It’s a popular choice for driveways, parking lots, subdivisions, access roads, and more.

Our Asphalt Milling Process

Larsco Construction follows a clear, proven process to ensure your milling project is done efficiently and effectively. We tailor each job to the unique conditions of your site and goals:

  • 1. Surface Assessment

    We begin with a site inspection to evaluate the condition of your existing asphalt. Our team checks for structural soundness, base stability, and drainage functionality. If milling is a good fit, we determine the appropriate depth for removal and recommend any follow-up paving or sealing work.

  • 2. Milling Preparation

    Before milling begins, we mark out the boundaries of the work area and remove any obstacles, such as loose debris or vegetation. We coordinate with you to schedule work during a convenient time and ensure nearby surfaces and landscaping are protected.

  • 3. Asphalt Milling Execution

    Using professional-grade milling machines, we remove the designated top layer of asphalt. Our crews are trained to maintain consistent depth and slope, ensuring a smooth and even surface throughout the area. We take special care around utility structures, curbs, or sensitive edges to preserve their integrity.

  • 4. Hauling and Clean-Up

    All milled asphalt material is collected and hauled away for recycling. We leave the site clean and free of debris, with a surface ready for paving or sealing. You’ll never have to worry about cleanup or material disposal our team handles it all.

  • 5. Optional Overlay or Repair

    Once milling is complete, we can proceed with asphalt overlay, patching, or full resurfacing if needed. Many clients choose milling as the first step in a larger asphalt maintenance plan, which may include sealing or striping to restore the entire surface to like-new condition.

Benefits of Asphalt Milling

Asphalt milling offers several advantages for both residential and commercial applications:


  • Cost Efficiency: Milling is less expensive than full replacement while still improving surface performance and longevity.
  • Better Drainage: Corrects grading issues and helps prevent water pooling or ice buildup.
  • Seamless Transitions: Creates flush connections between driveways, aprons, sidewalks, or adjacent pavement.
  • Eco-Friendly: Recycles asphalt material, reducing waste and environmental impact.
  • Strong Foundation: Prepares a solid base for overlays, ensuring better adhesion and fewer future issues.
  • Minimal Disruption: Faster and cleaner than full excavation, minimizing inconvenience to homeowners or businesses.


If you want to upgrade the appearance and functionality of your pavement without starting from scratch, asphalt milling is often the smartest approach.

Common Applications

We perform asphalt milling for a variety of property types and use cases, including:


  • Residential driveways
  • Private roads and easements
  • Parking lots (commercial and multi-family)
  • Apartment or condo complexes
  • HOA-maintained subdivisions
  • Churches, schools, and municipal spaces


No matter the scope or complexity, our team adapts to your needs and ensures a smooth outcome from start to finish.

How Long Does Asphalt Milling Take?

Most residential and small commercial milling jobs can be completed in one to two days, depending on size, depth, and access. Larger lots or multi-phase projects may take longer, but we always communicate clearly about timelines and project stages.


Weather permitting, asphalt overlay can often be scheduled shortly after milling is complete, minimizing downtime for your surface.

FAQs About Asphalt Milling

  • How deep do you mill the surface?

    Typical milling depths range from 1 to 3 inches, depending on the condition of the existing pavement and the goals of the project.

  • Is milling noisy or messy?

    While milling does involve heavy equipment, our crews work quickly and clean up all debris. We minimize noise and dust whenever possible.

  • Can milled areas be driven on before paving?

    Yes, in most cases. The milled surface is safe for light traffic temporarily, though we recommend paving as soon as practical.

  • Will milling solve drainage issues?

    Yes, milling can correct minor drainage problems by restoring slope and eliminating surface irregularities.

  • What happens to the milled asphalt?

    It’s hauled away and recycled for use in future paving projects. We follow all environmental best practices for material handling.

  • How do I know if milling is better than replacement?

    We’ll assess your surface and provide a clear recommendation. If the base is still solid and the issues are surface-level, milling is often the ideal choice.
