Potholes are a liability and they only get worse. Here is what pothole repair costs in the Great Falls area, the difference between a cold patch and a lasting full-depth repair, and why they keep coming back if you only fill the hole.
Pothole repair is priced by the area and depth of the damage rather than a flat rate. What moves the number:

A cold patch is a fast, temporary fill that makes a hazardous pothole safe quickly — a common winter stopgap when hot asphalt is not available. A full-depth repair sawcuts out the failed area, rebuilds and compacts the base, and installs new hot asphalt that bonds to clean edges. In the Great Falls freeze-thaw climate, the full-depth repair is the durable fix; a cold patch buys time until it can be done right.
Potholes form when water gets into cracks, freezes and expands, and washes out the base beneath the asphalt until the surface collapses under traffic. If only the surface is filled and the base is still failing — or water still gets in — the pothole returns within a season. A proper repair addresses the cause: rebuild the base, install new asphalt, then keep cracks sealed and the surface sealcoated so water stops undermining it. Ask any contractor whether they repair full-depth and rebuild the base.

Cold patch is a fast temporary fix; full-depth repair rebuilds the base and lasts. Full-depth is the durable choice here.
Water undermines the base through cracks. If the base is not rebuilt and cracks not sealed, they return.
