Services

Start with what is failing, not the service name.

If pavers are sinking, edges are spreading, steps feel unsafe, or water is collecting near the house, the visible surface is usually not the whole problem. Sherwood looks at base prep, pitch, edge restraint, runoff, and tie-ins before recommending repair, replacement, or a new build.

Pick the closest problem

What are you seeing on the property?

You do not need the trade term. Start with the symptom and send photos of the area.

What to send first

Photos, location, and the symptom are enough to start.

  • Show the pavers, wall, steps, entrance, patio, driveway, or water problem.
  • Include one wide photo, a few closeups, and where water collects or exits if that is part of the issue.
  • Mention whether you want repair, replacement, a new build, or help deciding.

Choose the property lens

Who is the work for?

The work may use the same materials, but the decision changes by property type. Homes often need a cleaner entrance, safer walk, usable patio, repaired pavers, or drainage-aware planning around the house. Commercial and rental properties usually need access, repair timing, maintenance, snow clearing, surface hazards, and documentation considered earlier.

What are you trying to do?

Use this to narrow the service paths if you already know whether the project is a new build, repair, or water issue.

Likely service path

Interlock & Paving Stone Installation

You need a new driveway, patio, walkway, or entrance and want the base, pitch, edges, thresholds, and runoff route planned before pavers are chosen.

  • You need a new driveway, patio, walkway, front entrance, or side path and want it built around the ground conditions, not just the paver pattern
  • Grass, gravel, old concrete, or broken pavement no longer fits how people enter, park, walk, or use the property
See what Sherwood checks

Likely service path

Interlock Repair, Replacement & Restoration

Your pavers are sinking, rocking, spreading, separating, holding weeds, or creating uneven spots, and you need to know whether repair or rebuild makes sense.

  • Pavers are sinking, rocking, loose, uneven, separating, or holding water
  • Edges are spreading, joints are washing out, weeds are taking over, or borders no longer hold the pattern
See what Sherwood checks

Likely service path

Patios, Walkways & Front Entrances

Your patio is too small, the route to the door is unclear, the side path is muddy, or the landing and walkway do not tie together cleanly.

  • The patio is too small for furniture, too chopped up to use comfortably, or poorly connected to the house and yard
  • Guests cut across grass because the walkway route is unclear, narrow, dated, uneven, or disconnected from the driveway
See what Sherwood checks

Likely service path

Stone Steps & Landings

Your steps have uneven rise, loose stones, a small landing, poor tie-ins, or water and ice where people step.

  • Steps have uneven rise or run, loose stones, rocking treads, or awkward footing
  • A landing is missing, too small, sloped the wrong way, or disconnected from the walkway
See what Sherwood checks

Likely service path

Retaining Walls & Stone Walls

Your wall is leaning, soil is washing out, or a slope needs support before nearby paving, planting, steps, or access work can hold up.

  • A retaining wall is leaning, bulging, cracking, moving, or separating from the area it is supposed to hold
  • Soil is washing out near a patio, driveway, walkway, garden edge, or entrance
See what Sherwood checks

Likely service path

Drainage, Grading & Stormwater Management

Water is pooling near the house, entrance, wall, patio, driveway, or walkway, and the hardscape work needs to account for where that water goes.

  • Water pools beside a patio, driveway, walkway, entrance, wall, or foundation-adjacent area
  • Downspouts discharge into the work area or send water across pavers, steps, walls, or low spots
See what Sherwood checks

Likely service path

Drainage-Friendly & Permeable Pavers

You want a paved surface that may help manage runoff, but the site needs to be checked for soil, slope, base design, overflow, and maintenance.

  • You want a paved surface that may reduce runoff compared with a conventional hard surface where the site is suitable
  • Water sits on or near a driveway, walk, patio, or parking area and the paving system needs to be chosen carefully
See what Sherwood checks

Likely service path

Landscape & Hardscape Lighting

Steps, paths, entrances, patios, walls, or grade changes need better visibility after dark, ideally planned before the hardscape is closed in.

  • Steps, paths, entrances, or transitions are hard to see after dark
  • A patio, front entrance, or side route is not useful in the evening because key walking areas disappear
