Potholes form when water infiltrates the pavement base and freeze-thaw cycles break the surface apart from below. Left unaddressed, they grow quickly and cause vehicle damage and safety hazards. A&D Asphalt removes the damaged material, prepares the base, and applies a durable hot or cold mix patch for a long-lasting repair.

Named for its resemblance to alligator skin, this interconnected pattern of surface cracking signals a failing pavement base. Alligator cracking cannot be corrected with sealcoat alone — it requires removal of the affected area and full-depth repair to restore structural integrity. A&D Asphalt identifies the root cause and applies the right solution to prevent the damage from returning.

When utility companies cut through asphalt to access underground lines, the repaired area is often left uneven or improperly sealed. A&D Asphalt restores utility cut patches to a smooth, uniform finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding pavement.

Raveling occurs when the asphalt surface begins to lose its aggregate — leaving a rough, loose, and deteriorating texture. It is commonly caused by aging, UV oxidation, or poor initial installation. A&D Asphalt addresses raveling before it progresses deeper into the pavement structure, saving property owners from more extensive repairs down the road.

Low spots and depressions in asphalt collect standing water, which accelerates pavement breakdown and creates slip hazards in cold weather. A&D Asphalt levels and repairs sunken areas to restore proper drainage and eliminate water pooling across your surface.

The edges of a driveway or parking lot are the most vulnerable areas of any asphalt surface. Without proper support, edges crack, crumble, and break away over time. A&D Asphalt rebuilds and reinforces deteriorating edges to restore a clean, finished appearance and prevent further breakdown.
Damaged asphalt is more than an eyesore, it's a liability. Potholes and deteriorating pavement create trip and fall hazards for pedestrians, cause vehicle damage, and signal neglect to customers, residents, and visitors. In the Midwest, freeze-thaw cycles mean that small areas of damage expand rapidly once water penetrates the surface. Addressing repairs early is always more cost-effective than waiting for damage to spread across a larger area. A&D Asphalt's experienced crews assess the full extent of the damage and apply the right repair method for lasting, durable results.



Don't just take our word for it. Homeowners, property managers, and HOAs across Ohio and the Midwest have trusted A&D Asphalt to protect and improve their pavement, here's what they had to say.
In most cases, targeted repairs are the right solution — especially when damage is isolated to specific areas and the surrounding pavement is structurally sound. A full replacement is typically only necessary when more than 30–40% of the surface is compromised or when the base has failed across a large area. A&D Asphalt provides an honest assessment so you can make the most informed decision for your property and budget.
A properly executed repair can last many years when the underlying cause of the damage is addressed and a regular maintenance plan — including crack sealing and seal coating, is followed. Repairs that address only the surface without correcting base issues will fail prematurely. A&D Asphalt identifies and corrects the root cause of every repair we make.
Minor repairs can be made in cooler temperatures using cold mix asphalt as a temporary solution. However, permanent hot mix repairs require ambient temperatures above 50°F for proper bonding and curing. A&D Asphalt will advise you on the best approach based on the time of year and the severity of the damage.
