PAVER REPAIR & RESTORATION IN TACOMA, WA
Paver Repair That Fixes the Problem — Not Just the Surface.
Sunken pavers, rocking units, and weed growth between joints are symptoms of a base or drainage issue. We diagnose the cause before we recommend a repair.
Overview
Why Paver Repairs Fail (And How We Prevent It)
Most paver repairs fail because they address the symptom instead of the cause. A sunken paver gets pulled up, a handful of sand is added underneath, and it gets set back. Six months later it's sunken again — because the base that caused the settling wasn't corrected.
Every paver repair we do starts with a root cause assessment. Sunken areas indicate base failure or drainage problems. Rocking pavers indicate inadequate base depth or incorrect bedding sand. Widespread weed growth indicates polymeric sand failure, often accelerated by drainage issues. We identify the cause and address it in the repair.
For patios and driveways where base failure is widespread, we'll be honest with you about the scope. Sometimes section-by-section repair is the right answer; sometimes full base correction is more cost-effective long-term. We'll give you both options and the tradeoffs.

Common Questions
Paver Repair & Restoration FAQ
If the settling or damage is localized to one area and the surrounding base is sound, repair is usually the right answer. If base failure is widespread — multiple low spots, widespread drainage problems, large sections moving — a full base correction is often more cost-effective than repeated piecemeal repairs. We'll give you an honest assessment during the free inspection.
