Customer Reviews for Quikrete 50 lb. Commercial Grade Blacktop Repair Patch

I used this two separate times over the last month. I used the blacktop repair to fill in sunken areas of my walkway and to patch up holes on my driveway. All of this is in preparation to put a sealcoat over the blacktop later this summer. I spoke with a manufacturer technical representative before I started the project. From their perspective this is only suited to be filled into a "hole" that is covered on all four sides. As you can see in my walkway picture that was not a possibility for me since there is no "fixed" side on the grass. I started anyway and had little issues with the exposed edge of the blacktop repair. I understand why they take this perspective because the exposed edges can fall apart if you are not careful. I found that if you pound it in place hard enough and avoid stepping on the edges you will be fine. After a number of days the edges are set and will not crumble if they are walked on.

I did a 10X2 foot section on my driveway entrance where it joins the street,the stuff came out of sack easy,poured where I wanted it. I smoothed it out with the back of my rake,tamped it with a 8 lb tamper,used my truck with a piece of 3/4 plywood rolled on top and compressed it, easy as pie. A few rocks stick to my to my tires but nothing major.Big improvement on my drive entrance.

I read the reviews before I bought this patch and almost didn't buy it but, the cost compared to the competitors was so much less I had to try it. And, I'm glad I did. So far so good. In the photo I used a total of 17 bags, two of which were leftover from a competitors purchase from last year. I didn't even think they would be any good but they were. Anyway, these Quikrete bags were very easy to empty out and hardly any mess at all. The other brand is messy messy. Quikrete actually dumps out in one clump. Of course it's stiff and takes work to move around but, all in all, a decent patch. I didn't quite follow the directions like I was supposed to do. As you can see (maybe) is that it tapers out onto the drive instead of filling a hole. All this was laid on top of existing clean asphalt, albeit very low. I did follow instructions about how much to lay on the first application. Lay, tamp, run over and lay some more. Worked like a charm. For those who were griping about it not setting up, well, it takes time. The competitors took time to set also and you can see the end result of that in the photo. The diagonal strip on the right above the new stuff is the old stuff I laid a few years ago. I never thought it would set up either but it's hard as a rock. I'm sure this will do the same. It's no problem driving on it and nothing is sticking to the tires. I can even walk on it with no problems. Just make sure you tamp it down good and drive on it. I really think this is the right stuff for the money. If it fails to set or it just doesn't last before breaking up, I'll be back to complain. Otherwise, check it out.............

I used two bags to fill in a dip in my driveway. I put a board over it so we could drive over it without tracking the sticky stuff around, and within two days it was solid. It looks nice too. I'm going to keep buying it a few bags at a time to repair a very long driveway with lots of cracks.

Used this to patch the space between garage and driveway. It spread perfectly. Wasn't a very hot day out side, and this stuff was very easy to work with. It also tamped down quite well. If you are looking to fill in some cracks in the asphalt, then this is the stuff to buy. Can be very sticky, so use gloves and treat tools with some sort of oil beforehand.

I filled several areas. Some smaller potholes and deep cracks and one very large pothole. The smaller potholes and cracks were also located in an area that gets full sun. The large pothole was located near the garage and is in full shade. I filled the holes during the fall. 78 degrees during the day around 55 at night. If you plan to fill smaller potholes located in the sun your holes should be fairly dry within 2 weeks. However, if you plan to fill a larger pothole or are in a mostly shaded area you will need more like a month-6 weeks for this product to cure. I also covered the pothole near our garage with plywood so it wouldn't track which may have delayed the process a bit but was absolutely necessary. This product if put down in an area where your family walks a lot or drives will destroy your flooring inside and garage. You have to be diligent about either covering it or making sure noone walks on it. To be honest I didn't expect it to take so long to cure but the size of the one pothole was larger than what this product is normally used for. I'm please with the results for now. We'll see after the winter. I have since sealed it with latexite sealer and it looks great. It has a rough appearance but next year I may trowel patch over it to smooth it out some.

Patched a dirt and weed filled 25 ft. stretch between my old asphalt driveway and my neighbor's concrete driveway. Followed the instructions, used an 8x8 hand tamper and had no problems. One of the reviews I read before buying talked about it sticking, so i sprayed the tamper with some Boeshield T-9 that I use in my woodworking shop and had no sticking problems> However, if you're doing a big job, hand tamping may leave your hands weak and shaky at the end. This is the second time I've use it this summer. First patch was tacky for a couple of weeks but is fine now. And HD quickly and easily accepted return of the three bags I didn't use.

This stuff works great. My only problem is how many bags are broken in the store and the way they stack them makes it nearly impossible to find a bag that isn’t broken. What a mess.

Easy to apply, dries up nicely

Asphalt Quikcrete was easy to place and distribute into potholes in my driveway. This is 2nd time I have used the product and it seems to hold up over time.

It was easy to use and looking good

Easy application. Great durability

I have used this over the past several years to fill potholes in our church parking lot befoe they get too big. A bit of preventative maintenance can add years to the lot.

It was already hard and I couldn't use it. Just one big messy clump.

Worked fine. Was more Moist than other brands. That is good. Just have to know that when working to plug holes.

Doesn't work. It won't dry.

I’ve used this product to make minor and some large asphalt pavement repairs. This product works very well wet or dry and save you on expensive contractor repairs with holes and worn areas. It’s very durable and can driven on immediately. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND and endorse this product for the “do it yourself users”

Great product for large cracks!!

the repair was fine but to pick up at home depot was a nightmare
