This is not always necessary unless the problem is due to base failure (asphalt foundation). In this case removal is required in order to properly compact and prepare the base. This kind of patching is used quite often in highly trafficked zones. All edges of the repair area should be cleaned for best tacking results. Try to make the edges straight and even.
