Some road issues don’t look like much at first—until they grow into a costly mess. That was the case for a Mechanicsburg property owner dealing with a persistent pothole that kept expanding, threatening both safety and the longevity of the pavement.
When they searched online for a reliable paving contractor, they found us.
And we got right to work.
When a Small Pothole Becomes a Big Deal
Potholes don’t take long to turn into a real problem, especially with Pennsylvania’s mix of weather extremes. Between freeze-thaw cycles and everyday wear from traffic, even a minor hole can quickly spread and undermine the surrounding pavement.
This client reached out after noticing the pothole getting worse with time.
Not only was it unsightly—it was also a safety hazard and could eventually lead to more extensive (and expensive) repairs.
Our team at RDS Paving & Sealcoating knew exactly how to handle it.
Precision Cuts and Fresh Asphalt
The key to a lasting asphalt repair is doing more than filling a hole.
In Mechanicsburg, we took a methodical approach: first, we carefully cut around the pothole and surrounding worn-out pavement to ensure a clean, even edge.
Then we removed the damaged section completely, prepped the area, and installed fresh asphalt to match the existing surface.
We also patched a nearby spot that was starting to show early signs of wear.
Preventative work like this not only smooths out the driving surface—it extends the life of the pavement as a whole.
By taking the time to do it right, we left the client with a seamless patch that blended into the surrounding asphalt and eliminated the issue entirely.
The Results? “The Pothole Is No Longer There.”
That simple phrase says it all.
Our client was happy to report that the patching looked great and immediately resolved the issue. Even better, the fix helped bring their pavement maintenance back up to date—giving them peace of mind that they’d stopped the problem before it got worse.
These kinds of smaller-scale jobs may not be flashy, but they’re some of the most important ones we do. Timely maintenance is what keeps Mechanicsburg roads, driveways, and parking lots safe and looking sharp.
