Patching
When asphalt begins to break apart, sink, or form potholes, prompt patching is critical to restoring safety and preventing further damage. Morgan Pavement provides professional asphalt patching services for commercial, municipal, HOA, and private properties throughout the Salt Lake City metro area. Our team evaluates pavement conditions to apply the right patching method for long-term performance—not temporary fixes.
Asphalt Patching Services
As a full-service asphalt contractor with over 40 years of experience, we help property owners repair asphalt efficiently while protecting the surrounding pavement structure.
Common Causes of Asphalt Failure
Asphalt damage requiring patching is often caused by a combination of traffic stress, moisture intrusion, and aging pavement materials.
- Water infiltration beneath the asphalt surface
- Heavy traffic and repeated loading
- Freeze-thaw cycles and temperature expansion
- Untreated cracks and surface wear
When left unaddressed, these issues can spread beyond isolated areas, leading to larger failures that may require asphalt milling or reconstruction.
Asphalt Patching Techniques We Use
Morgan Pavement selects patching methods based on pavement condition, traffic demands, and long-term performance goals. Our approach prioritizes durability—not quick cosmetic repairs.
- Hot asphalt patching – Permanent repairs using hot-mix asphalt for high-traffic areas and long-term performance.
- Cold patching – Temporary or seasonal repairs used when hot asphalt is unavailable.
- Skin patching – Surface-level repairs used sparingly for short-term improvements.
- Saw cut and removal – Clean-edge patching that removes failed asphalt and installs new material with proper bonding.
- Infrared asphalt repair – Reheats and blends existing asphalt for seamless patch integration when conditions allow.
Each asphalt patch is installed with proper preparation, compaction, and bonding to reduce premature failure.
When Patching Is the Right Repair
Patching is most effective when damage is isolated and the surrounding pavement remains structurally sound. Morgan Pavement evaluates whether patching alone will resolve the issue or if additional repair methods are required.
- Potholes and localized surface failure
- Depressions or soft spots in traffic areas
- Failed pavement sections caused by moisture intrusion
For widespread deterioration, additional services such as asphalt crack filling, milling and overlay, or full reconstruction may be recommended.
Patching as Part of a Complete Repair Strategy
Effective asphalt patching works best when integrated into a broader repair and maintenance plan. Morgan Pavement often combines patching with crack filling, sealcoating, and surface preservation to extend pavement life and reduce long-term costs.
As a hometown asphalt company founded by Todd Morgan, we bring decades of hands-on experience to every repair. What started with filling potholes from the back of a pickup truck has grown into a full-service asphalt operation with in-house production, innovative materials, and the ability to handle projects from start to finish.
