When cracks spread or potholes form, property owners often ask: “Do I need to replace all of it?” Not always. Asphalt patching may be the smarter move.

Signs You Need Asphalt Patching

  • Isolated potholes
  • Alligator cracking in small sections
  • Uneven surface but solid base

When Full Replacement Makes Sense

  • Surface over 20 years old
