HOW TO REPAIR A POTHOLE OR PATCH...
1. Prepare the area
Remove any loose asphalt and debris from the pothole. You can use a wire street broom to clean the area.
2. Cut the pothole
Use chalk to outline the area to cut, and then use a pavement saw to cut along the line. The outline should extend into structurally sound asphalt, at least one foot from the pothole in all directions.
3. Fill the pothole
Use a hot-mix or cold-mix asphalt solution to fill the pothole. For large projects, you can split the mixture into four-inch layers.
4. Compact the material
Use a tamper tool, asphalt roller, or plate compactor to compact the material. You can also drive across the patch to compact it.
5. Check the surface
Use a straight edge to check that the patch surface is level. Repeat the compaction process if needed.
