Crack Sealing & Patching in Jonesboro, AR
Hot-pour crack filling and pothole patching before sealing.
Water is what destroys asphalt. Once it gets through a crack it softens the base underneath, and in winter it freezes and pushes the crack wider. Filling cracks early is the cheapest maintenance a lot owner can do.

Crack sealing before sealcoating
Sealcoat alone won't hold a crack closed. Cracks should be filled first, then sealed and restriped. Doing all three in one visit saves on mobilization and gets the lot back to full use faster.
When patching isn't enough
Large areas of "alligator" cracking or soft spots usually mean the base has failed. A paving contractor may need to cut out and replace that section. The crew will tell you honestly if a repair is beyond patching.
Common questions
When is the best time to fill cracks?
Spring and fall are ideal. Filling before winter stops water from freezing in the cracks.
Will filled cracks show?
Yes, at first. Sealcoating over filled cracks blends them into the surface.
