Asphalt Milling: How This Repair Service Saves You Money – An Irvine, CA Project by El Camino
Resurfacing is a practical, budget-friendly solution for commercial properties facing surface wear and tear. The Hyatt Hotel contacted their local paving contractor, El Camino Asphalt, because their parking lot had developed uneven areas and surface cracking, creating safety concerns for guests. Asphalt milling allowed our team to address these issues efficiently, restoring the parking lot’s appearance and safety without disrupting the hotel’s operations for an extended period.
Pavement Repair Project Steps: How El Camino Restored the Hyatt Hotel’s Parking Lot
- Surface Removal: We began by milling down the top two inches of the existing surface layer. This step removes damaged material and prepares a clean, even surface for the overlay.
- Preparing the Base: Our team inspected the base layer after milling to confirm its stability, ensuring a solid foundation for the new overlay.
- Applying the Overlay: With the base ready, we applied a fresh overlay, creating a smooth, even surface that blends seamlessly with surrounding areas and improves durability.
- Finishing Touches: Finally, we compacted and smoothed the overlay, resulting in a professional finish ready for immediate use.
The hotel’s property manager expressed appreciation for the efficiency and quality of the work, saying, “They transformed our parking lot without the need for a costly full replacement. We’re very pleased with the outcome.”

At El Camino Asphalt, we help 
El Camino Asphalt is proud to be part of such a great community project, so we were happy to take over parking lot paving services for the community. We began by removing the exiting surface. Asphalt milling uncovered a wet and yielding base layer that threatened the pavement’s structure. To address this, we recommended a 5% cement treatment to stabilize the base before parking lot paving. Once we applied it, we paved the entire area to a four inch depth to ensure durability, especially in areas where the existing pavement was thinner.
