Pothole Repair and Asphalt Patching in Pocatello, Idaho

Repair the damage before it spreads

Asphalt repair fixes the places pavement has already failed: potholes, raveled patches, sunken trenches, and cracks that have opened wide enough to hold ice. Pocatello Asphalt Paving handles repairs on driveways, parking lots, and private lanes when a full replacement is not the right first spend.

Not every crack is a repair, and not every repair should be a smear of cold mix. A pothole that sits in a soft, wet base will return if we only fill the hole. We look at the pattern. Alligator cracking across a whole drive usually means the section is tired. A single utility cut or a plow gouge may be a clean saw-cut patch.

You can request repair on its own or ask us to pair it with sealcoating once the patches have cured. Tell us the approximate area in square feet so we bring the right crew and the right amount of mix.

Property owners often find us when they need pothole repair, asphalt patching, or crack fill before winter — the same asphalt repair scope we use on drives, lots, and lanes.

Where repairs pay off

Timely patches keep water out of the base. In Pocatello that matters every March, when daytime melt runs into a crack and nighttime cold pries it open. Catching that cycle early is cheaper than rebuilding the drive after the subgrade has pumped.

Commercial lots use repair to keep aisles safe between larger paving years. A failed approach or a dumpster pad can be cut out and replaced while the rest of the lot stays in service. We will say plainly when patches are no longer the economical choice.

• Saw-cut patches with compacted base under the new mix
• Pothole repairs that remove broken asphalt instead of bridging it
• Crack routing and fill where the pavement is still sound
• An honest recommendation when replacement will cost less over time

How repair day works

The free visit confirms the square footage and the cause. We mark cuts, identify areas that need base rock, and separate maintenance cracks from structural failure. You get a written scope before we schedule the crew.

On site we saw-cut straight edges, remove the failed material, compact the bottom of the patch, and place hot-mix when the repair size and weather support it. Small patches are compacted so the new surface meets the old one without a lip that catches a plow. We clean the work area so leftover chunks are not sitting in the driving path.

Patches need a short cooling period before traffic. We tell you which spots to avoid and for how long. If the surrounding pavement is oxidized and ready, we can schedule sealcoating as a follow-up so the whole surface sheds water together.
