Block Paving Repair Techniques

Block paving repairs require understanding why problems developed ensuring solutions address underlying causes preventing recurrence. Sunken areas typically indicate inadequate sub-base, poor drainage, or settlement requiring lifting blocks, improving sub-base, and relaying properly. Individual damaged blocks need replacing with matching materials maintaining consistent appearance. Weed growth between blocks indicates failed joint sand requiring complete removal, weed treatment, and proper kiln dried sand replacement. We assess each situation individually, explaining problems and solutions ensuring repairs provide lasting results rather than temporary fixes.
