If you drive the roads of Minnesota, you are already well acquainted with the concept of a pothole.

Your driveway is under constant stress from the elements, and in Minnesota, the elements tend to add something extra to the mix. What that means is that driveways take a beating. It is one thing to withstand the weight and friction of vehicles that weigh multiple thousands of pounds, but Minnesota’s weather adds insult to injury with its massive annual temperature ranges and the intensity created by rain, snow, and ice.

If you own a home, you have likely heard someone refer to it as your most important investment. It is true that generally speaking, our homes can generally be sold for more than we purchase them for – so in that way, we are investing in our future when we buy a home. Sadly, though, sometimes the term ‘investment,’ at least as it relates to owning a home, can sometimes be more of a euphemism for having to spend a lot of money on maintenance and repairs.

With that comes more light during the day, flowers blooming, grass growing but also a large number of potholes. The winter weather does significant damage to the asphalt surfaces in our area.
