Brooming joint sand into repaired pavers in South Florida

What Counts as a Paver Repair

Repair is different from a full restoration. If most of your surface looks fine and the problem is a specific sunken spot, a cracked paver, a spreading edge, or a section that’s shifted, that’s a repair, not a rebuild. We fix the affected area and blend it back into the rest of the surface, without redoing pavers that don’t need it. If the damage is more widespread, staining and fading are part of the picture too, our paver restoration service covers the full refresh instead.

Why Pavers Sink or Shift in South Florida

It’s rarely random. The usual causes here are a base that was never compacted properly, joint sand that’s washed out from years of rain and irrigation, an irrigation line leaking underneath the surface without anyone noticing, or ants tunneling through the base and leaving small voids under individual pavers. South Florida’s sandy soil and high water table make all of these more likely than in drier climates. Whatever the cause, sealing over a sunken area doesn’t fix it, and it usually gets worse the next time it rains hard.

Our Repair Process: Lift, Rebuild, Reset

We don’t just lift the one paver that’s visibly sunk. The base underneath a sunken paver is almost always compromised well beyond that single spot, so we lift a wider area around it, rebuild the compacted base underneath, and reset the pavers level with fresh bedding sand. Once everything is flush, we re-sand the joints and check the surface with a straightedge before calling it done.

Cracked or Broken Pavers: Replace, Don't Just Patch

A cracked paver won’t hold up long-term no matter how it’s patched. We replace individual damaged pavers rather than filling cracks, matching the color and pattern as closely as possible so the repair doesn’t stand out. If your exact paver is discontinued, we’ll tell you upfront and show you the closest match before we start.

Ant Tunnels and Voids Under Your Pavers

Florida’s warm climate and sandy soil make paver bases a favorite spot for ants to tunnel, and their tunnels create small voids that eventually let pavers settle. If we find ant activity while repairing a sunken area, we address it as part of the repair instead of resetting pavers over the same problem.

Edge Restraints: The Repair That Prevents the Next One

A lot of spreading and shifting comes back to missing or failed edge restraints, the material that holds the outer row of pavers in place. If your driveway or patio doesn’t have them, or they’ve failed, we install or replace edge restraints as part of the repair so the fix actually holds instead of needing to be redone in a year or two.

What Affects the Cost of Paver Repair

Pricing depends on how many pavers need to be lifted and reset, whether any need to be replaced entirely, how much base rebuilding is involved, and whether edge restraints need to be added. A single sunken spot costs far less than a section that’s spread across a wide area. Request a free estimate and we’ll give you a clear price after seeing the damage.

Travertine sealing is priced differently than sealing concrete or brick pavers, mainly because the prep work matters so much more. What moves the price:

  • Efflorescence and staining, since heavy white haze or deep staining needs treatment before sealing can even start.
  • Finish type, whether the travertine is tumbled, honed or brushed, which affects how it’s cleaned.
  • Void filling, if the natural holes in the stone need to be filled before sealing.
  • Size of the area and whether it’s a pool deck, driveway, or patio.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pavers do you reset around a sunken spot?

Usually more than just the one that’s visibly sunk. The base underneath is often compromised in a wider area, so we lift and reset enough pavers around it to make sure the fix actually holds.

It depends on how many pavers are affected and how much base work is needed. A single spot is far less than a widespread area. Request a free estimate for an exact price.

Yes, as closely as possible. If your exact paver is discontinued, we’ll show you the closest match before starting so there are no surprises.

Most spot repairs are done in a single day. Larger areas with more extensive base rebuilding can take longer, and we’ll give you a clear timeline before we start.

We aim to blend it in as closely as possible using matching pavers and pattern. Some very old or sun-faded pavers may show a slight difference until the whole surface is sealed together.

It’s a good idea, especially if the repaired pavers are new or the surrounding area’s sealer is worn. We can seal the repaired section or the whole surface, whichever makes sense for your project.

Repair fixes a specific problem area, like a sunken spot or cracked paver, without touching the rest of the surface. Restoration is a full refresh: cleaning, repair and resealing an entire surface that’s faded or worn overall. See our paver restoration page for that option.

They can if the underlying cause isn’t addressed. We look for ant activity and signs of irrigation leaks while repairing the base, not just reset the surface pavers.
