Pavers are a beautiful and durable solution for driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks — but like any surface exposed to weather, traffic, and time, they may eventually need maintenance. The good news? Most issues can be fixed without replacing the entire area.
Here are the most common paver problems — and how to know when it’s time to bring in a professional:
1. Sinking or Uneven Pavers
The problem: Pavers can sink or shift due to improper installation, poor drainage, or soil movement. This creates an uneven surface that can be dangerous and unsightly.
DIY fix? Sometimes a few pavers can be lifted and reset.
Call a pro when: The sinking area is large, near a structure, or water is pooling. A professional will address the base and drainage to prevent future issues.
2. Cracked or Chipped Pavers
The problem: Although pavers are strong, heavy impact or long-term wear can cause cracking or surface damage.
DIY fix? Replacing a single cracked paver is possible if you have matching material.
Call a pro when: The damage is widespread or you’re unsure how to remove and replace the pavers properly. A mismatched repair can hurt your curb appeal — we ensure seamless restoration.
3. Weeds or Grass Growing Between Joints
The problem: Over time, joints may lose their sand, allowing weeds to grow and spread.
DIY fix? You can apply polymeric sand or weed killer.
Call a pro when: The problem keeps coming back. Professionals can clean, re-level, and seal the surface to block future growth.
4. Stains and Discoloration
The problem: Oil, rust, leaves, and other elements can stain your pavers, making them look worn or dirty.
DIY fix? Some stains can be removed with the right cleaner.
Call a pro when: Stains are deep or you risk damaging the surface with harsh chemicals. We use the right tools and techniques to clean without harming the material.
5. Loose or Wobbly Pavers
The problem: Pavers may come loose if the edge restraints fail or joint sand washes out.
DIY fix? You might reset a few.
Call a pro when: The issue spreads or you’re unsure why it’s happening. We fix the root cause — not just the symptom.
