Full-depth patching, often referred to as “remove and replace” (R&R), is a permanent asphalt repair method used when pavement damage extends beyond the surface. Unlike temporary fixes such as surface patching or pothole filling, full-depth patching addresses the underlying base to restore strength and extend the life of your pavement.
By cutting out and removing the damaged asphalt, repairing the base, and installing fresh hot mix asphalt, full-depth patching eliminates structural weaknesses and prevents further deterioration. Businesses and property managers often choose full-depth patching for areas with heavy traffic, severe cracking, rutting, or recurring potholes.
