Typically, it’s an issue of being exposed to the elements. Rain and water get into the asphalt which will then expand when frozen, causing cracks and holes. 

Plants grow in the asphalt making these small cracks even worse. With cars driving over the surface, it will also eventually breakdown and need some type of repair. 

Sometimes, parts of the asphalt tend to bend or warp from the changing of temperatures making it require some type of repairs.

You will need high quality asphalt repair when these problems happen. This will help to increase the curb appeal of your home or businesses getting rid of all the possible problems that might be there right now.
