Number and size
Count each patch and record approximate length, width and depth. Several distant patches may require different handling than one grouped repair area.
Defined patches, clear scope
Pothole and asphalt patching in Edmonton
A pothole is visible at the surface, but the amount of work is controlled by the sound repair boundary, depth, loose material, base condition and number of separate patches across the property.
Define the work first
A measured scope, not a vague allowance.
Man Power Paving Ltd. scopes pothole and patching work for Edmonton homeowners and property managers. Instead of treating every hole as identical, the quote records patch count, dimensions and field conditions. Multiple small patches can sometimes share mobilization and equipment, but each repair still needs a defensible boundary and enough access for placement and compaction.
02
Work this service can cover
- Potholes in private parking areas and access lanes
- Localized broken pavement in residential driveways
- Multiple measured patches on one property
- Failed edges beside curbs, aprons or existing repairs
- Small areas that require removal and replacement rather than a surface fill
Before approval
What changes the repair plan
These conditions are recorded during estimating or confirmed at the site so the written scope reflects the actual property.
Sound perimeter
The visible opening may be smaller than the weakened pavement around it. Final boundaries are confirmed against material that can support a durable tie-in.
Water and base
Standing water, pumping fines, soft aggregate or recurring settlement can indicate a condition beneath the asphalt that should not be ignored.
Traffic control
Occupied parking lots and access lanes may need a work window, vehicle relocation, cones or other controls before the repair area can be opened safely.
Practical preparation
How to make the first review useful
Photograph the patch from more than one angle and include a common object or measurement for scale. Note whether the surface is dry, wet, loose or actively moving under traffic.
For several patches, list them separately or provide a marked property sketch. This reduces missed areas and helps determine whether work can be grouped into one efficient visit.
The written scope should explain whether the work is a temporary surface treatment or a defined removal-and-replacement patch. Those are different outcomes and should not be described as though they are interchangeable.
Common questions
Pothole patching questions
Can several potholes be priced together?
Yes. Shared travel, setup and equipment may affect the combined job, but each patch still needs to be counted and measured so the total scope remains clear.
Is filling the visible hole always enough?
Not necessarily. Loose surrounding asphalt or an unstable base can make the required repair larger than the opening that is visible at first glance.
Do vehicles need to be moved?
The repair area and a safe working path normally need to be available. For occupied properties, access and traffic arrangements should be confirmed before scheduling.
Next step
Start with measurements, photographs or a conversation.
Use the detailed estimator when the work is measurable. Contact Sales when access, drainage, base condition or the correct repair path still needs to be confirmed.
