Permanent Pothole Repair When Your Property Can’t Wait
Potholes don’t stay small. Once a hole opens up in a commercial parking lot, every vehicle that drives over it knocks more material loose, water continues to undermine the base, and what started as a tire-deep cavity can turn into a frame-deep liability inside a few weeks. Property managers across the Ogden, UT area know the call: tenant complaints, near-misses, and worry about a slip-and-fall claim. Blacktop Paving LLC handles pothole repair with the urgency that the situation actually calls for — and we install hot-mix repairs that don’t fail again next month.
For nearly seven years, our crews have been responding to pothole calls across Logan, Layton, Brigham City, and the surrounding region. With more than 15 years of asphalt experience, owner Brian Blackner has personally repaired thousands of potholes — and he’s also dug out plenty of other contractors’ failed cold-patch jobs to install permanent repairs in their place. We aren’t going to be the contractor someone has to call back for the same hole.
Common Pothole Problems We Repair
- Surface Potholes — Cavities limited to the asphalt surface course where the base is still sound
- Base-Failure Potholes — Deeper holes where the underlying base is saturated or has broken down
- Drainage-Related Potholes — Recurring potholes in the same low-spot or drainage path locations
- Edge Potholes — Cavities forming along curbs, gutter pans, or pavement edges
- Failed Cold-Patch Repairs — Previous “patch” jobs that have come apart and need permanent repair
- Cluster Potholes — Multiple potholes concentrated in one area, indicating widespread base or surface deterioration
Our Pothole Repair Solution
- Rapid Assessment — We evaluate the cause of the pothole and the condition of the surrounding base before quoting
- Saw-Cut and Removal — Failed material is saw-cut to clean, square edges and removed completely
- Base Repair as Needed — Compromised base material is removed and replaced with compacted aggregate
- Tack Coat Application — A bonding agent is applied to the cut edges so the patch fuses to the surrounding pavement
- Hot-Mix Asphalt Installation — Permanent repair material is placed at proper temperature in correct lifts
- Compaction — Repairs are rolled or plate-compacted to specified density before being returned to traffic
What Makes Our Pothole Repairs Last
- Hot-Mix Asphalt, Not Cold Patch — Cold patch is a temporary stopgap; we install permanent repairs with hot-mix material
- Base Restoration When Required — A patch on top of failed base will fail again; we address the cause
- Square Cuts — Squared, vertical-edge cuts produce repairs that hold versus feathered edges that come apart
- Edge Compaction — Edges are where most pothole repairs fail; we don’t shortcut compaction at the perimeter
- Drainage Awareness — A repair in a chronic puddle area gets a drainage solution, not just a patch

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you respond to an active pothole?
For active hazards on commercial properties, we work to schedule repair as quickly as our current commitments allow — often within several business days. We give property managers honest scheduling rather than overpromising response times we can’t deliver.
Will the repair last as long as the surrounding pavement?
A properly executed hot-mix pothole repair on sound base can perform for the remaining life of the pavement around it — often 10-15+ years. Repairs that fail prematurely usually trace back to skipped base repair, cold-patch material, or inadequate edge compaction.
How can future potholes be prevented?
Most potholes start as untreated cracks. Routine crack filling and sealcoating keep water out of the base, which is what causes most pothole formation in our freeze-thaw climate. A scheduled maintenance program is dramatically cheaper than an annual round of pothole repairs.
