How the day went

  1. Overview of the cracked asphalt driveway before any work started
    01 · BeforeAug 14 · 11:38 AM

    Every crack documented, then dug out by hand so the repair has something solid to bond to.

  2. Crew using a blower to clear loose rock and dirt out of the driveway cracks
    02 · PrepAug 14 · 12:11 PM

    Blowers clear out loose rock and dirt. A clean surface is the whole difference between a patch and a permanent bond.

  3. Crew pouring hot sealant along a crack line in the driveway
    03 · The workAug 14 · 12:56 PM

    Sealant mixed on site, then poured, troweled and squeegeed into every crack and low patch.
