Time takes its toll on everything, even things as hard wearing as asphalt. If your driveway is starting to show signs of wear, it is always best to resolve the issues sooner rather than later.
Problems with your asphalt will only get more expensive to repair over time, so keeping on top of asphalt maintenance while the issues are smaller, is always the more cost effective solution.
If you see any of the following on your blacktop driveway or path, it’s time for repairs:
- Cracking or potholes
- Dull color or rough texture
- Uneven asphalt surface
- Water collecting in low points
The good news is, the team at Fort Lauderdale Asphalt have seen and done it all, and will happily give sound, honest advice on any asphalt driveway repairs you may need.
Have you noticed cracks in your driveway? If you live in the Fort Lauderdale area and are asking, why is my asphalt cracking so much, give us a call – whatever the cause may be, we can come up with the most cost effective solution to your problem.
Cracks in asphalt (or any type of pavement for that matter) are a fact of life. Cracks can be cause by a number of factors, and understanding why your asphalt has cracked is important when looking for a solution. Asphalt cracking can be caused by a poorly installed base, heavy vehicle loading, water intrusion or drainage issues, damage from tree roots, or simply the age of the pavement.
They come in many different shapes and sizes, but it’s always best to have cracks repaired as soon as you can. We have seen and repaired them all! We specialize in crack filling and crack sealing.
Check out our types of asphalt cracks page to help you identify which type of cracks your pavement may be experiencing.

Potholes in asphalt are unsightly and can be dangerous. Potholes often start out life as cracks, where they expand and get bigger. Having vehicles drive over these holes only worsens the issue, breaking loose pieces of pavement and making the hole bigger. Water intrusion into pot holes can erode and wash away the base layer, causing the surrounding area to slump, creating a low point that will collect water and exacerbate the issue even further.
We’ve seen it all, and can confidently assess any potholes you may have. Often times a pothole patch will be required, where we cut away a square of your asphalt pavement, re-lay and pack the base, then lay fresh asphalt on top. This is where a quality asphalt contractor in Fort Lauderdale is important. Having the right equipment and experience will ensure a long lasting repair, and prevent any slumping or low points in the future.
If there is one section of your asphalt pavement that has deteriorated, while the majority of it remains in good condition, we can perform a patch repair. We remove the top layer of failed asphalt, assess the base, and raise or lower the section as required. We then put a fresh layer of asphalt on top, ready for years more service. A sealcoating of the entire driveway would then be recommended, to blend the old with the new, and provide an attractive looking driveway for years to come.

If your asphalt pavement is very old, or has been neglected in the past, the best and often most cost effective solution is to have your asphalt resurfaced.
If there is significant damage to the base, or it was installed incorrectly, an asphalt repave, or new installation will be the best option.
