What is asphalt patching?

Asphalt patching is the process of repairing damaged or deteriorated areas of asphalt pavement, such as potholes, cracks, or surface depressions. This maintenance technique helps restore the structural integrity and smoothness of the pavement, preventing further damage and ensuring safe use for vehicles and pedestrians. Patching can be done using different methods, including cold patch, hot mix asphalt, or infrared patching, depending on the extent and cause of the damage. Regular asphalt patching extends the lifespan of paved surfaces and reduces the need for more extensive repairs in the future.
