Restored interlock surface after repair and cleanup work.

Service field guide

Interlock repair for pavers that have sunk, shifted, spread, or come loose.

If pavers are sinking, rocking, separating, or collecting weeds, the visible surface is usually only part of the problem. Sherwood looks at why the pavers moved, including base failure, edge restraint, pitch, settlement, traffic, and nearby water, before recommending a repair or replacement path.

Start with the problem

Signs this may be the right scope.

The first step is identifying what you can see, then checking the hidden cause: base movement, poor pitch, weak edges, water, settlement, thresholds, or bad transitions.

01

Pavers are sinking, rocking, loose, uneven, separating, or holding water

02

Edges are spreading, joints are washing out, weeds are taking over, or borders no longer hold the pattern

03

A patio, walkway, driveway, or entrance has trip points, low spots, or awkward transitions

04

You need to know whether the surface can be lifted and relaid or whether the failed base makes a fuller rebuild more practical

What the work may include

The finished surface is only the visible part.

Interlock and paver repair for sunken, rocking, uneven, loose, separating, or weed-filled surfaces, with the cause reviewed before lift-and-relay, edge correction, joint reset, partial replacement, or rebuild work is recommended.

Lift-and-relay repair where the existing pavers are suitable to reuse

Partial replacement for broken, missing, badly stained, or mismatched sections

Re-leveling for sunken patio stones, uneven walks, settled driveway areas, and loose pavers

Edge restraint correction, joint reset, polymeric sand replacement, and restoration planning when the base still supports repair

Water movement

What can change the scope.

  • Sherwood checks whether water from downspouts, low spots, slopes, or neighboring surfaces contributed to the movement
  • A repair should keep or restore useful pitch instead of flattening the surface and trapping water
  • Joint material, edge restraints, and nearby grades matter because water and movement often return to the weakest edge
  • Cosmetic resetting without correcting the cause can fail again, especially where base settlement or runoff is still active

Before it is covered

What good prep should make clear.

  • The estimate separates lift-and-relay, partial replacement, edge correction, joint reset, and full rebuild options where those options are realistic
  • The cause of movement is discussed before the surface is reset
  • Edges, joints, transitions, low spots, and nearby water sources are reviewed as part of the repair scope
  • TODO add real before/during/after repair examples
