Asphalt Repair Question
I've got a downhill driveway and where it meets the street, there's a hump. Heavy rains last year caused a pothole right where the driveway meets the street. It's about 4' x 2' and maybe 2" deep.
What would you use to fill it? Is cold patch tough enough? What products would you recommend?
Also, whatever I use, should I 'prime' the hole with any sort of coating first?
Thanks!

Cold patch should work, that is what it's intended for.
It works much better when it's in a hole, contained vs laying unsupported like if wanting to fill a low spot.
Just remove any loose material, even hosing away dirt, then let it dry before filling.
I have used both a hand tamper or even a long handle sledge handle to compress the material.
