I have had the same problem for 23 years. I have a surface aquifer that
runs under the driveway.
The asphalt rises about 1" all along the length of the double door
garage concrete apron.
It's too cold to try to fix it in the winter, and in the summer it fixes
itself, so I don't have to.

another approach is cut driveway, install a underground drain, and run
a line preferably to daylight, so it doesnt occur again
