  • Choosing Between Concrete Asphalt

    Concrete and asphalt both have their benefits and when choosing between the two, it often comes down to personal preference and what fits within your budget. For this reason, we offer both and are willing to help you determine which is right for the specific needs of your business or space. Concrete has the ability to be enhanced in unique ways that asphalt cannot. It also has an extensive life with proper upkeep and care.

Snow Plow Damage Repair Services for Asphalt & Concrete

Snow plows are essential during winter, but they can be tough on your pavement. When a plow blade scrapes too low, clips an edge, or tears up weakened asphalt or concrete, the damage often shows up as broken edges, gouges, loose material, and premature cracking. At Larsco Construction, we provide professional snow plow damage repair for both residential and commercial properties in Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Tallmadge, Barberton, and surrounding communities.

We understand how winter impacts Ohio pavement. Months of freeze-thaw cycles, heavy plow traffic, and salt exposure take a toll. Our repair services address these issues with durable, long-lasting solutions that restore the safety, appearance, and structural integrity of your driveway or parking lot.


Snow plow damage shouldn’t be ignored. When the first scrape tears through the surface, it can quickly spread with moisture, melting snow, and repeated freezing. Early repairs prevent bigger structural problems, reduce hazards, and extend the life of your pavement.

How Snow Plow Damage Happens

Even the most careful plow operators can’t avoid occasional contact with the pavement surface. Concrete and asphalt are especially vulnerable when temperatures drop, because cold weather makes the materials more brittle. A sharp plow edge can fracture areas
that were previously stable, especially around joints, edges, curbs, and high-traffic routes.


Most damage occurs when:


  • The plow blade is set too low
  • Edges are already weakened from age
  • Water has infiltrated cracks before freezing
  • Heavy plow trucks repeatedly pass over the same areas
  • The first storms of the season catch homeowners before cracks are sealed


Once the surface breaks, snow and ice pack into openings, melt, refreeze, and expand the damaged area. What begins as a small scrape can quickly become potholes, broken edges, and surface delamination. Our repairs stop the cycle before it spreads.

  • Our Approach to Repairing Snow Plow Damage

    At Larsco Construction, we don’t simply patch the visible damage, we diagnose the underlying cause. Every repair starts with a careful inspection. We look at the condition of the surrounding pavement, the depth of the damage, and whether any base material has been compromised. Then we choose the right repair method for the specific scenario.


    In many cases, repairing snow plow damage involves cleaning out broken edges, removing loose asphalt or concrete, and restoring the section with hot-mix asphalt, high-strength concrete patch material, or a full cut-out and replace. For commercial parking lots, we often combine repairs with crack sealing or resurfacing to maintain a smooth and functional driving surface.


    We always match our repair method to the size and severity of the damage not every job needs a large-scale fix. Our goal is to provide honest recommendations and long-lasting solutions that prevent repeat problems.

  • Edge Damage and Break-Off Repair

    One of the most common effects of snow plows is damage to the edge of a driveway or parking lot. When the blade catches an edge, it can break off chunks of asphalt or chip away sections of concrete.


    Repairing edge damage involves shaping the broken section into a clean, stable area, cutting out weak material, and reconstructing the edge with fresh asphalt or concrete. This process restores the structural boundary of the pavement and prevents further breakup when spring thaw arrives.


    Restoring the edge also helps with snow removal in future seasons by giving plows a clean, predictable surface to work alongside.

  • Surface Scrapes and Gouges

    Snow plow blades can leave long scrapes or trenches that expose the underlying aggregate. These areas weaken quickly when water and salt intrude. Left untreated, they turn into cracks, potholes, or full delamination.


    For shallow scrapes, we grind or clean damaged areas, apply bonding agents, and fill the trench with asphalt or high-strength repair mortar. For deeper gouges, we cut out and rebuild the section to restore full strength.


    Surface scrapes often happen repeatedly in the same areas. Our crew evaluates why the damage occurs whether the pavement is too thin, the grade is uneven, or the surface is aging and recommends preventive options to stop ongoing deterioration.

Pothole Formation After Plowing

Potholes often show up in late winter or early spring, and snow plows frequently accelerate this process. Once the surface fractures, melting snow seeps into the break, freezes overnight, and expands the void. Repeated cycles create a deep, growing pothole.


Our pothole repairs involve removing damaged material, addressing any unstable base, and installing a compacted patch. For asphalt, we use hot-mix when weather allows or high-quality cold patch for emergency winter repairs. For concrete, patches are placed with materials designed for freeze resistance and quick-setting performance.


We focus on building patches that withstand freeze-thaw cycles and remain stable once traffic resumes.

Salt, Ice, and Surface Wear

Even without direct plow damage, salt and de-icing chemicals weaken pavement. Concrete can scale and flake. Asphalt can oxidize or become brittle. These conditions increase the likelihood of snow plow damage later in winter.


Part of our repair service includes assessing the full winter impact, not just the visible damage. If widespread wear is beginning, we may recommend resurfacing, sealcoating, or joint sealing to prevent future deterioration. Addressing these issues early protects your investment and reduces long-term cost.

Our Repair Methods at a Glance

Here is a quick comparison of common repair solutions we use depending on the damage:

Repair Type Best For Approach Longevity
Surface Patch Scrapes, shallow gouges Clean, bond, fill, compact Moderate
Cut-Out & Replace Deep breaks, edge failures Remove area, rebuild base, repour Excellent
Hot-Mix Asphalt Patch Asphalt potholes Dig out, refill with hot mix Long-lasting
Cold Patch (Winter Only) Emergency pothole fixes Temporary surface patch Short-term
Concrete Patch Concrete chips, scaling Bond, fill, finish Long-term
Resurfacing Widespread wear New asphalt overlay High durability

Preventing Future Snow Plow Damage

The best repairs are the ones you don’t need again. After fixing the surface, we often recommend preventive steps to minimize future plow-related issues.


Keeping your pavement sealed, repairing cracks annually, and maintaining proper slope can dramatically reduce how much damage occurs in winter. We also help homeowners and property managers understand how to guide plow operators around sensitive areas. Good communication during snow removal goes a long way toward protecting your pavement.


Whenever possible, we encourage early fall maintenance to strengthen the pavement before winter arrives. A sealed, crack-free surface is far more resistant to plow damage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Does snow plow damage always require full replacement?

    No. Many plow-related issues can be fixed with patching or cut-out repairs. We only recommend full replacement when the base is compromised.

  • Can you repair damage during winter?

    Yes. We can perform temporary fixes like cold patching in winter, then return in warmer months for permanent repairs.

  • Will repairs match the existing pavement?

    We match color and texture as closely as possible. New asphalt often appears darker at first but blends over time.

  • How long do repairs take?

    Most repairs are completed the same day, depending on size and weather. Larger cut-out replacements may require multiple visits.

  • Can plow blades be adjusted to avoid future damage?

    Yes. Many plows can be fitted with rubber edges or raised slightly to prevent scraping. We can advise on best practices.

  • Do you repair both asphalt and concrete plow damage?

    Absolutely. We repair driveways, commercial lots, private roads, and sidewalks in both materials.
