I need to patch a spot in an asphalt driveway that has separated from the
aggregate. It's level and the aggregate underneath is solid. This is where
one wheel turns to make a 90 degree angle into the garage. The rest of the
driveway is fine. I don't need it to look good -- just hold up through the
rainy season until I can do the whole driveway.

What do you folks think about this idea...


Is your goal to prevent further water infiltration (think: heaving
the remaining asphalt)? Or, just to keep that tire from dropping into
the hole/depression?


Keep from further deterioration and seal water out for a few months


OK, but when you finally get around to it, will you be *replacing*
the driveway? Or, just giving it a good "going over"? I.e., how
much do you want to "save"...

[given that you are looking for a temporary fix, how extensive will
your eventual "until I can do the while driveway" be?]
