Default Cold Patch For Asphalt Driveway


"Bob" wrote in message
...
Hi,

Have some decent size holes in my old asphalt driveway.
Perhaps 8" or so deep X a foot or so long.
True holes; not really cracks.

Have never repaired anything like this myself.
Guess what I need is what's called a "cold patch" compound

Is this "E Z Street" cold patch "stuff" what I want ?

Is there a better product available ?
If so, what makes it better ?

What else should I probably be asking regarding patching asphaltg holes,
but am not smart enough to know to ?

Much thanks, appreciate the help,
Bob


You're on the right track. When you patch them, patch them in "lifts".
Basically you fill it part way, tamp it down, repeat. If the hole is truly
8" deep, you'll have about 3 lifts.
