Paver Repair in Charlotte, NC

A paver surface follows whatever is underneath it. When a section sinks or tilts, lifting the pavers and adding a little sand puts it back level for a season, and then it settles again in the same place.
In Charlotte, red clay holds moisture and can move as water enters and leaves the soil. If water reaches the paver base or the edge restraint fails, sections can settle, spread, or become uneven. So the repair starts by lifting the affected area and looking at the base: how deep it is, whether it was compacted, and whether water has been washing material out from under it.
Where the base has failed, it is rebuilt and compacted in layers before the bedding layer is screeded and the pavers are relaid to match the surrounding surface. A lasting repair focuses on the base, the drainage route, and the confinement around the pavers — not only on replacing the visible damaged pieces.

The scope is set after the site visit, once the cause of the problem is clear. Most repairs combine several of the following.

The same approach applies to every paver surface, but the loads differ. A patio or walkway carries foot traffic. A paver driveway carries vehicles, so ruts and dips there usually point to a base that is too thin or was not compacted for that load.

Water is behind most paver repairs. A downspout discharging onto the patio, a yard that slopes toward the paving, or a low spot where water sits will carry bedding sand and base material away a little at a time.
If the repair resets the pavers and leaves the water where it was, the same section fails again. Where that is the cause, the drainage and grading is corrected as part of the same job — redirecting a downspout, regrading the edge, or adding a drain — so the repaired area stays dry underneath.
