Asphalt Pothole Repair

Eliminate Hazards & Restore Your Driveway with Permanent Pothole Solutions

Asphalt Pothole repair Process

Potholes are more than just an eyesore. When left untreated, they expand, allow water infiltration, and degrade the surrounding pavementβ€”leading to costlier repairs. At Gold Standard Property Pros, we specialize in permanent pothole repair using high-performance cold patch or hot asphalt (depending on weather and substrate conditions).

We remove loose debris, cut clean edges, fill with commercial-grade asphalt mix, and compact for a seamless, durable finish that blends into your existing surface.

What to Expect

  1. Surface Prep & Cleanout

  • We trim back grass, weeds, and soil that overgrow the driveway’s edge to ensure a clean, professional workspace and strong seal around the patch.

  • Our team uses commercial blowers and heavy-duty brooms to remove loose debris, gravel, and dirtβ€”prepping the area for optimal adhesion of cold patch asphalt.

  • All broken or loose asphalt around the pothole is cleared out to prevent future crumbling and ensure the patch holds up to weather and traffic.

2. PATCH FILL & SHAPING

  • We use high-quality cold patch asphaltβ€”ideal for residential driveways and effective in all weather conditions.

  • The material is added and shaped by hand and trowel, ensuring every crevice and edge is fully packed and flush with surrounding pavement.

  • We feather and sculpt the edges to blend the repair with your driveway and reduce visual contrast while preventing future cracking.

3. COMPACTION & FINISHING

  • Using hand tampers or a plate compactor, we apply pressure to lock the material in place and prevent settlement or shifting.

  • If applicable, we may apply a light, tar based driveway sealer over the patch to protect it further and visually unify the area with surrounding asphalt.

  • We complete a final inspection to ensure the patch is flush, compacted, and visually clean β€” ready for vehicle traffic and harsh weather.

  • After a final inspection of our work we fasten caution tape across the end of the driveway or around the patch to ensure nobody drives or walks on it.
