Keep in mind that repairing one paver will be far easier than repairing an entire patio. This is why professional installation or sunken pavers repair is often recommended from a provider such as browardpavers. Dig some Dirt Out! The basic and the foremost step is digging out the base of the paver. The foundation will need to be replaced to create a level surface once again. Make sure you dig out the base from beneath the paver, keep in mind you don’t remove the foundation from beneath the surrounding pavers simultaneously time. Digging a square with one inch to spare around each side will ensure that you do not do so. Once you have dug this out, simply compress the earth below the foundations so that you have a solid base on which to build. Change or Replace the Foundations! This is a big step since replacing or changing the foundations starts with gravel that is laid on the soil which should then be compressed down so that it sits tightly with the soil and is neatly leveled. Compress this and ensure that it is leveled with the base of the surrounding pavers and is completely flat. Add a thin layer of sand on top of the gravel, as this acts as the base for the paver. Now you should start compressing 1inch of space around the edge and ensuring that the entire area is flat. Replacing the Paver! So finally lower the paver into place, since this can be difficult, you’ll need at least two people to ensure that its lowered in the proper level and doesn’t make the base uneven. Pour some weed killer around the edges to prevent any plants from taking hold and ruining your work. So for completing the task add sand to the gaps around the edges of the pavers and brush sand in until the area is fully filled.
