Driveway is a long route and the repairing/resurfacing is more expensive. In climatic zones, water always finds its way beneath the asphalt, and sooner or later cracks appear.

Filling the cracks as often you notice them is the best way to make your life of the driveway last longer, and reduce the cost of replacement.

For Driveway Repair You should need the following tools,

• Chipping tool
• Garden Hose
• Broom
• Driveway cleaner
• Bucket
• Heavy-duty scrub brush
• Asphalt crack filler
• Putty knife
• Cold patch blacktop
• Small shovel
• Piece of 4" × 4" lumber to tamp down patch material.

1. Use the chipper to scrape away weeds or anything else growing in and around the cracks.

2. Clean out the cracks with the hose spray. Sweep away any debris like dirt, plant matter, chunks of asphalt and discard them.

3. Scrub the area around the cracks with a driveway cleaner. You want to get rid of any oil spills and residue. The crack filler needs a clean surface to adhere to.

4. Let the area dry thoroughly.

5. For small cracks less than 1/2 inch wide, pour asphalt crack filler into the gap. Smooth it with a putty knife.

6. For larger cracks or holes, prepare the area as described in Steps 1–4. Shovel in the cold patch, compact it with the end of the 4 × 4. Overfill the hole a little, and compact it again.
