Asphalt driveways in Limerick Township take a beating from the same freeze-thaw cycle every winter — water works into small cracks, freezes, expands, and by spring what was a hairline crack is a pothole or a stretch of alligatored, chunked-up surface. The damage doesn't reverse itself, and driveways left unaddressed through a second or third winter tend to go from a repairable problem to a full-replacement problem faster than most homeowners expect.
We start with an assessment of what's actually happening under the surface. Isolated potholes and edge cracking are usually a straightforward patch job — cutting out the damaged area, prepping a clean edge, and compacting new asphalt in properly rather than just dumping cold patch in the hole and calling it done. Wider-spread deterioration, rutting, or a surface that's gone rough and crumbly across a large area usually points to milling and overlay — removing the compromised top layer and laying a fresh course of asphalt over a foundation that's still structurally sound underneath.
What we won't do is patch a driveway that's actually failed at the base — if the sub-base has heaved or washed out, patching the surface just delays a bigger repair and wastes money on work that won't hold. We'll tell you plainly when that's the situation instead of selling a patch that's going to fail again in a year.
