What is the difference between asphalt patching and asphalt repair?

Asphalt patching typically refers to repairing localized areas of damage, such as potholes or surface cracks, by removing the damaged asphalt and replacing it with new asphalt material. Asphalt repair encompasses a broader range of maintenance activities aimed at restoring the overall condition of the pavement, including patching, crack sealing, sealcoating, and resurfacing, depending on the extent of the damage.
