A pothole in an asphalt driveway almost always starts as a small crack that let water in, and once that water freezes and expands a few times over a winter, the surface breaks down fast. Left alone, a single pothole tends to grow — the edges keep chipping away every time a tire crosses it — and can undermine the asphalt around it well beyond the original damaged area.
Our pothole repair cuts a clean, square edge around the damaged area rather than just filling the existing ragged hole, removes the compromised asphalt and base material, and compacts new hot-mix asphalt in properly graded lifts so it bonds with the surrounding surface instead of sitting as a loose plug that pops out under load. That prep work is the difference between a patch that lasts and one that fails again within a season.
For driveways with multiple potholes or potholes that keep reappearing in the same general area, we'll flag that during the estimate — recurring potholes in the same spot are often a sign of a drainage issue or sub-base problem that needs addressing alongside the patch, not a coincidence of bad luck.
