Fix sunken pavers, wobbly stones, cracked slabs and uneven patios by rebuilding the base and relaying the surface neatly.
A patio that has sunk in one corner, rocks underfoot or collects puddles is telling you something about the base or the water beneath it. Pavers that settled, stones that tilt and slabs that cracked can often be repaired by lifting the surface, correcting the base and putting everything back. Nashville homeowners with clay soil and heavy rain often need this kind of repair after a few seasons.
Your specialist inspects the patio, finds where water is going and checks the base. Pavers or stones are lifted and stacked, the base is excavated, compacted and rebuilt, bedding sand is replaced and the surface is relaid with a matching pattern. Edge restraint and joint sand are renewed, and drainage or downspout fixes are added when water is the cause. Cracked slabs are repaired or replaced as the situation calls for.
Settling usually comes from a weak base, poor drainage or washed-out soil, so the cause is found before the surface is touched.
Lifting the surface and compacting fresh stone gives pavers a firm bed, which is what keeps them level afterward.
Original pavers are reused where possible, with matching replacements for broken ones, and the pattern is restored.
Gutters, downspouts and grading that sent water under the patio are corrected so the repair lasts.
