Patching potholes might be on your list of things to do. If so, do it the same way dentists install a filling in a tooth.
Blacktop itself is a flexible pavement because asphalt itself is a semi-solid material somewhat similar to glass. Glass succumbs to gravity over many years and asphalt can creep and deflect when compressed.If you want an asphalt driveway to last, the soil under it must be strong and the gravel base must be at least 6 inches thick, although 8 or 10 inches would be better. You must use crushed gravel that contains a variety of stone sizes, including the stone dust.
Excavate the sides of the pothole so it looks like an upside down ice cream cone. You want the bottom of the pothole to be bigger than the top. This way, when the hot mix becomes solid, it can’t pop out of the hole. The best way to patch potholes and defects up to 4 feet square is to use a contractor who has a special heater that warms the existing blacktop to be as hot as the asphalt that comes from the plant. This way the fresh patching asphalt mix bonds mechanically and chemically with the old asphalt. When this is done correctly, you can’t even see where the old hole was as there are no saw cut lines.
