The Asphalt Patching Process

From parking lots to access roads, we follow a proven process for our pothole patching services. Every step is designed to ensure long-lasting, seamless results.

Prepare the Surface

We clean the damaged surface and clear any debris. This includes removing broken asphalt, dirt, and moisture to create a stable foundation for the patch. 

Apply the Patch

We install hot or cold asphalt mix based on the extent of damage and local weather conditions. Our crews use precise application techniques to blend the repair seamlessly with the existing asphalt. 

Compact the Material

Once applied, the patch is compacted with specialized equipment to remove air pockets and create an even surface. This strengthens the repair and extends the life of your pavement.

Key Benefits of Pothole Repairs

Regularly scheduling asphalt pothole repair work keeps your pavement safe, functional, and cost-effective year-round.

How Do Potholes Form?

Potholes form when groundwater seeps beneath the pavement surface. As temperatures change, the trapped moisture expands and contracts, causing the asphalt to weaken and eventually break apart.

Once the asphalt weakens, vehicle traffic will worsen the damage, eventually forming holes or depressions. If left untreated, these weak spots can lead to base failures and costly structural repairs.

Neglecting small cracks allows this cycle to repeat year after year. Proactive maintenance, such as crack filling and sealcoating, helps prevent potholes from forming in the first place.

If you have potholes on your property, contact U.S. Pavement for fast, effective pothole repairs.

Types of Asphalt Patches

At U.S. Pavement Services, we offer various patching methods based on the depth and severity of damage. Each repair is completed using high-quality materials for long-term durability.

Skin Patches

Skin patches are a cost-effective option for minor, shallow damage less than two inches deep. This quick method is ideal for parking lots and light-traffic areas.

Partial-Depth Patches

Partial-depth patching is used for moderate damage that extends slightly deeper below the surface but does not affect the underlying base. This technique restores structural integrity without full reconstruction.

Full Depth Patches

Full-depth patches are used for severe or structural damage. It involves removing and replacing both the surface and the underlying base. They deliver a long-term fix for high-traffic or heavily deteriorated areas, such as loading docks and access roads.

How To Prevent Potholes From Forming

Preventing potholes starts with routine maintenance and attention to early signs of wear. Small cracks, standing water, and oil stains may seem minor, but if ignored, they can lead to significant pavement failure. 

These proactive steps can help protect your investment. 

  • Routine Cleaning
    Regularly sweeping and cleaning removes debris and trapped moisture. Clean surfaces also make it easier to spot minor issues before they become problematic safety hazards.
  • Fill Patches or Cracks Right Away
    Sealing or filling cracks as soon as they appear prevents water from seeping beneath the surface. This can significantly slow pavement breakdown and extend its lifespan.
  • Routine Sealcoating Every 2–3 Years
    Sealcoat protects your pavement from UV rays, oxidation, salt, and chemical damage. A fresh sealcoat every few years keeps your lot flexible and durable, even in changing weather patterns. 
  • Proper Pavement Drainage
    Standing water is one of the main causes of potholes. Proper grading, catch basins, and drainage keep water flowing away from the surface, protecting the base layer from weakening.
  • Clean Up Oil or Gas Spills
    Petroleum products can weaken the surface and lead to the formation of cracks. Prompt cleanup prevents chemical damage and keeps your lot safe.
  • Removes Weeds and Vegetation 
    Weeds and grass can grow through small cracks and widen them over time. Regular landscaping prevents vegetation from compromising your pavement’s structure.
