When a lot in Nashwaaksis or a road through Lincoln is too worn to patch but the base underneath is still sound, mill and overlay gives it a fresh, level surface without the cost of a full tear-out. Hogan Paving has been resurfacing Fredericton-area pavement since 1989.
Mill and overlay is a two-step fix. We grind off the worn top layer of asphalt with a milling machine, haul it away, then lay a fresh course of hot mix over the existing base. You keep the structure you already paid for and gain a smooth, properly graded surface that drains the way it should.
We have paved across Devon, Silverwood and out toward Hanwell long enough to know how Fredericton ground behaves. A tired commercial lot off the Hanwell corridor and a cracked residential driveway in New Maryland need different milling depths and overlay thicknesses, and we set those on site rather than from a price sheet.
This page sits under our Fredericton service hub. For the full rundown on how the process works anywhere we operate, the mill and overlay topic page covers it in plain terms.
Pavement near the Saint John River valley takes a beating every spring. Water works into hairline cracks, freezes overnight, expands, and pries the surface apart a little more with each freeze-thaw cycle until the top layer is spider-webbed and crumbling.
Milling removes that compromised top course completely, so the new overlay bonds to solid asphalt instead of riding on a failing surface. We also reset the grade as we go, which clears the ponding and ice patches that show up in low spots through a Fredericton winter.
We time overlay work for the warmer, drier stretch of the season so the mix compacts properly and cures before the cold returns. Done right, a mill and overlay buys you years before the surface needs attention again.

It comes down to the base. If the gravel and lower asphalt under your lot or driveway are still solid and the trouble is surface cracking, rutting or fading, mill and overlay is usually the smart, cheaper call. If the base has failed and you are seeing potholes that keep coming back, full reconstruction may be the better long-term spend. We walk the site, check the failures, and tell you straight which one fits.
Most residential mill and overlay jobs around Nashwaaksis or New Maryland wrap up in a day, and you can usually drive on the new surface within a day of paving. Larger commercial lots along the Vanier corridor often run in phases so part of the lot stays open while we work the rest. We map the staging with you ahead of time so access and parking are sorted before the crew shows up.
Tell us about your driveway, lot or road and we will come out, look at the surface, and give you an honest estimate. Family-run and Fredericton-based since 1989.
