Paver Repairs in St. Augustine, FL

Repairs start at $175 for a minimum service visit. Leveling and re-basing sunken or uneven sections typically runs $8–$20 per square foot depending on the condition of the base and the scope of work. Paver replacement is quoted by the number of pavers and material availability, and major driveway repairs involving excavation, base rebuilding, drainage correction, or concrete edge restraints are quoted individually. Minimum project charges may apply, and every repair gets a written estimate after an on-site inspection.

Because the cause has not been fixed. It is almost always the base rather than the pavers — washed-out bedding sand from drainage, an irrigation leak, or a downspout discharging onto the surface. Lifting and re-laying without re-compacting the base and addressing the water source means the same dip comes back.

In most cases yes. Where an exact match is not available, we relocate original pavers from a hidden area — behind a shed, under a planter — and place the new ones there instead, so the visible field stays consistent. Weathered pavers rarely match new stock of the same model.

Yes. We excavate around the root rather than just trimming what shows at the surface — a root cut at the paver line will keep growing underneath and lift the same section again. Once it is fully removed, we rebuild and compact the base before resetting the pavers.

The bedding sand directly underneath has hollowed out — usually from erosion, ant activity, or a paver that was never fully seated. Topping off the joint sand does not fix this; the paver has to be lifted, the bedding rebuilt, and the paver reset so it sits solid again.

Usually lost polymeric sand. That sand locks the field together, and once it has washed out or eroded and was never replaced, nothing is holding neighboring pavers to each other and they gradually separate under normal foot and vehicle traffic. We re-set the joints and sweep in fresh polymeric sand as part of the repair.

If anything is sunken, lifted or missing, yes. Sealing locks the surface as it currently sits, so any defect gets preserved rather than fixed. Repairs come before joint sand and sealing in every full restoration we do.

Most residential repairs are completed the same day, often alongside cleaning and sealing. Larger re-basing jobs, root removal, or significant drainage work can run into a second day.

Repair, in the large majority of cases, and usually by a wide margin. Concrete and clay pavers are extremely durable. We only recommend replacement when pavers are cracked through or spalling badly across the whole field.
