Looks pretty good to me, as for lasting, all our roads need maintenance from time to time.

Looks ok mate, though , and I know I will catch hell for this,,,, you might want to find an old sprayer and a couple of gallons of diesel and spray the asphalt then run over it a few time and spray again and run over,again and again,,, the diesel will make the asphalt soft and gooey and as the diesel evaporates the stuff will set up hard again,,, at least that's how I have seen it done round this part of the coal country

Good golly that dredges up some old memories, the old boy that lived down the road from us, when I was growing up was an old guy must have been in his 40's..
Anyway he has some 55 gallon drums and he filled up about half way with used oil from this trucks and tractor and equipment around the farm. And would take posts he cut in the fall and stand them up in the drums, and by the time spring came almost all the oil was gone, I have to assume soaked up by the posts. And then he would set them for his new pastures or where ever he needed them. Those posts seemed to last forever, there are still some in the woods where his fields use to be, below Moms place
