The patch should be rolled or tamped to flush with the top of existing asphalt.
These are not necessarily in the book, but the process works very well on otherwise good pavement. It will not work on pavement that is already deteriorating bear the hole.
Leaving it above the surface causes the vehicles to bounce on it, and slam into the far side. Sure to fail.
Using a shop vac. or the like to clean loose material out is wise. Jim
