Fix Sunken and Shifting Pavers

Brick Paver Repair Services in Ocala

Pavers settle for specific reasons in Ocala. Water runoff erodes the base material underneath, tree roots push up from below, or the original base was never compacted properly. When pavers sink or shift, they create trip hazards, puddles, and an uneven appearance that makes driveways and walkways look worn out before they actually are.

Decorative Concrete Pro of the Villages repairs sunken, shifting, or uneven pavers without replacing the entire surface. The crew removes affected pavers, restores the base, and resets the units so they sit level and stable again. Homeowners in Ocala and nearby neighborhoods use this service to restore safety and appearance in high-traffic areas and older properties.

If your driveway or patio has low spots that collect water or pavers that rock underfoot, schedule a repair visit in Ocala to see what can be corrected.

What Gets Fixed During a Repair Visit

The crew begins by lifting the affected pavers and inspecting the base material underneath in Ocala. If the base has washed out or compacted unevenly, they add new material, compact it properly, and reset the pavers so they align with the surrounding surface. Edge restraints and joint sand are replaced to lock everything back in place.

Once the repair is complete, you will walk on a level surface that no longer rocks or shifts underfoot. Water drains evenly instead of pooling in low spots, and the pavers match the height and alignment of the rest of the area.

Paver repair works best when the damage is localized and the base issue can be corrected. If erosion or root intrusion affects a large area, a full reinstallation may be more practical. The crew will tell you what makes sense after inspecting the damage on site.

Questions About Fixing Your Pavers

Homeowners in Ocala often want to know what causes settling and whether repairs will hold up over time.

What causes pavers to sink or shift?

Pavers sink when water erodes the base material, when the base was not compacted during installation, or when tree roots push up from underneath. Decorative Concrete Pro of the Villages corrects the base during repairs to prevent the problem from returning.

How long does paver repair take?
Most repairs in Ocala take one to two days depending on how many pavers need to be reset and how much base work is required. Small areas may finish in a few hours.
Why should I repair pavers instead of replacing them?
Repairing pavers costs less than full replacement and restores the surface quickly when damage is limited to specific areas. You keep the original pavers and avoid disrupting the rest of the installation.
What if the pavers are a different color now?
Older pavers may have faded slightly, but resetting them does not change their color. If matching new pavers to old ones is important, the crew can help you find the closest available option.
When should I call for paver repair?
You should call when you notice pavers that rock, sink, or create uneven spots where water pools. Addressing the problem early prevents further damage and keeps the area safe to walk or drive on.
