🔹 Asphalt Milling

When your pavement surface is worn but the foundation is still solid, asphalt milling is the most efficient way to restore it without a full replacement. D. Lee’s Paving uses precision milling machines to remove damaged asphalt layers, recycle the material, and prepare a smooth, even base for a fresh overlay. This process improves durability, appearance, and drainage — all while saving time and money compared to tearing out the entire surface.

Our crew ensures every project is properly milled, cleaned, and ready for new asphalt, providing a seamless finish that looks and performs like brand-new pavement.

Quick Facts:

• Ideal for parking lots, roadways, and large commercial areas.

• Removes damaged asphalt while preserving the solid base underneath.

Lee’s Paving provides professional sealcoating services that protect and extend the life of your driveway or parking lot. Our commercial-grade sealer restores that deep black finish while sealing out moisture, oil, and UV damage — keeping your pavement strong, smooth, and looking brand-new.

Whether it’s a small residential driveway or a large commercial lot, our team applies every coat with precision using high-quality materials and modern spray or squeegee systems. Regular sealcoating every few years can dramatically reduce repair costs and keep your property looking clean and well maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does a paving project take from start to finish?
Most residential driveways are completed in one to two days, while larger commercial projects can take a few days depending on size, weather, and prep work.

Q: What’s the best time of year for paving or sealcoating?
The ideal time for asphalt work is during spring through early fall, when temperatures allow for proper compaction and curing.

Q: How thick should my asphalt be for a long-lasting driveway?
For most homes, we recommend 2.5 to 3 inches of compacted asphalt over a solid, well-prepared base. Heavier-use areas like parking lots may need 4–5 inches.

Q: How soon can I drive or park on new asphalt?
We suggest waiting at least 24–48 hours before driving on new pavement and up to 72 hours in hotter weather. This allows the surface to cool and harden properly.

Q: Do you offer free estimates or inspections?
Yes! D. Lee’s Paving provides free, no-obligation estimates within a 100-mile radius from Clarksville, TN to Athens, AL for residential, commercial, and tar & chip paving.
