FYI if the patch isn’t too close to any walls you don’t need to spend money renting a plate compactor. You can just tire roll the asphalt with your car. Because of the weight it will do a better job of compacting the asphalt than a plate compactor and the water will keep the asphalt from picking up on your tires. Just keep your tires straight when you drive over it.

Looks awesome. Our depression in our 40 year old pad was basically a small lake 8' across, around 3-4" deep that had filled in with muck. Dug the muck out, fixed drainage issue, and paid asphalt contractor $2,300 to level the hole and put a fresh 1.5" asphalt on the whole pad. But when I resealed it last year I did that 50 shades of black thing, so thanks for the tip on that....

I did this with just cold patch and it flaked right off. Then again, I didn't do all these extra steps. This guy is good.

Thanks for your description

Thank you, this is a great video, I do have one question. You use the filler to feather the edges and smooth out the transitions. Would it work to spread a layer over the entire patch to fill in the rough texture a little more and give the entire layer a smoother finish. In the end it's only the unfilled section of the patch that shows.

Thank you! A great video.

Hi, It's a very informative clip. Thank you! By the way, how many buckets did you use to fill the 2'x3' depression in the clip? I heard one bucket, but I wonder if I hear it correctly. Can you advise, please!

Major points for posting all the tips AND commenting on the crappy "pro" work down the street. I hate hiring any so-called pro because the last thing they care about is the quality of the work. Instead, it's always how quickly they can get the "job" done, which is always loosely defined so they have an out. And I'm talking about my direct experience with "pros" for drywall, tile, flooring, painting, framing, roofing, HVAC, etc. A relative of mine had two electricians quit a job involving why the power failed in a large part of his house. They quit because it was taking too long to find the fault (a broken wire in a box, which I found). So wouldn't they want a time-consuming job? No, because they want to bill a dozen or more half-hour jobs in a day and charge each one a minimum of an hour's work--and one even said words to that effect before quitting! Did they care about my relative being stuck with no power? No. I hate them all.

kitchener west home depot!! i just did my driveway last week!!! wish i knew about asphalt 6.0

The product you are using is now closer to 90.00 in the US at Home Depot. For the patch I did earlier this summer the patch product alone would have been almost 900.00 dollars. I think if you are using only one of two cans that is fine. Instead of renting the tool you used I used plywood and my truck. It compressed it nicely though I am sure your rental tool did a better job, maybe for a future repair. My driveway is very long and not in the best shape. Thanks for making such a great video. You did a great job.

Excellent Video; Thanks.

Great job DIYable! I have had good results w/Aquaphalt6.0 on my driveway too. However, wld u recommend using it on alligatored section of driveway? I am thinking of making a similar cut around the alligatored area. Then, chisel away its surface to 1/2" deep. I appreciate any thoughts/suggestions.

Good information

Thanks for the patch product it seems way better then what I used so far on my 24yrs old driveway!!! Last time I used the same sealer as you and I liked it. And yes people start VERYYYY early or you will get issues when it dry too fast. I had to do 2 coats with the squeedge since my driveway is smooth as a baby skin with all the coats it got over time. I should have waited another morning for the second coat, sun heated the driveway and I has issue to do it. I added mist of water to help a bit and added water to the sealer so I was able to complete in 1 day. I wonder if the patch could be used to extend my driveway in one corner for 5 ft (2x5) so I can park my trailer and avoid to drive 1 wheel in the plants and cedar mulch.

@DIYable

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comments. Yes this product is quite amazing. I thought about using this to extend the driveway too. If it's a small area, it should be good. However, if it's a big area, Aquaphalt is not ideal because it's very expensive. Also depends on the extension has light or heavy traffic, you may need to prep the base. I have a small area want to expend too, I may actually do it this summer. Stay tuned.

it's very satisfying!

Henery has a rubberized resurface product that you could use to seal the driveway. They say that it will fill voids like the ones you show with the large asphalt granular's. I've used to fill on large sections in my driveway where I removed cracked chunks from many years of use(a pickup truck bedful). Its a great product but its not cheap. I also used Sakretes product. It seems to work well but if its compacted in the package its a pain and very time consuming to break up to a workable form. You should apply these products about 1" higher than the surrounding surface. Manufactures say 1/2" but I find that it is not enough after driving on is for several months.

Do you know if it works for old asphalt (on top), will it stick to it? As I have a depression, and I don't see a point to chip out the old asphalt

Lots of great information, great video. I wouldn’t fill the gap between the concrete though, that looks like an expansion gap for shrink / expansion of the asphalt to avoid buckling. For those gaps you should use a proper product that is more flexible.

It's $89/pail in the US right now. Each pail contains 0.4 cubic feet. 3x20 section 4 inches thick is 20 cubic feet. That is 50 pails of that stuff. You really want to spend $4500 on materials and all that work trying to get a level and firmly compacted surface on such a large area? I'd be surprised if a paving contractor charged you more than $1000 for that size (going rate is $7 to $14 per square foot). TLDR; hire a professional paving company.
