The process typically involves lifting the affected pavers, re-leveling the base with sand or gravel, and then resetting the pavers securely in place. For cracked pavers, replacements may be required.
Can you repair pavers without removing the entire patio or walkway?
Yes, targeted repairs are possible. Professionals can fix specific areas without needing to remove the entire surface, saving time and cost.
How long does it take to repair outdoor pavers?
The time needed depends on the size of the repair area and the extent of damage. Most small repairs can be completed in a few hours, while larger areas may take a day or two.
How often should I have my pavers repaired or maintained?
