Your Pavers Don't Need Replacing. They Need Rescuing.
Weeds in the joints, faces gone green, colors flattened under years of grime: restoration takes on each of them, and sunken or shifted sections are fixed first through our paver repair service. Full paver restoration costs a fraction of replacement and looks nearly identical to a brand-new install.
The Three-Stage Rescue for Weathered Paver Surfaces
The pavers themselves are durable. The sand between them wears out first. As joint sand washes out, weeds move in, edges shift, and the surface starts reading as "old." Add algae film and UV-flattened color, and homeowners start pricing replacement for a surface that's structurally fine.
Restoration attacks each failure directly. Stage one is a deep professional cleaning that strips algae, grime, and embedded stains from the paver faces and clears the failing sand out of the joints with a wide, low-angle spray. Stage two re-sands the surface with polymeric sand, joint sand with a binder that stiffens once it is watered, so the joints resist washout and leave weeds and ants less room. The binder adds no structural strength, which is why sunken or loose pavers are repaired first. Stage three applies a professional sealer that revives the pavers' color depth and helps the surface resist stains and fading.
The finished surface doesn't look cleaned. It looks installed last week — for a fraction of what replacement would run.

Three Stages, One Restored Surface
Deep Clean
Commercial surface cleaning strips organic growth and grime from paver faces and clears failed sand from the joints with a wide, low-angle spray, the clean start everything else builds on.
Polymeric Re-Sand
Joints cleared to at least 1½ inches are refilled with polymeric sand, compacted, and watered so the binder stiffens the joint, resists washout and cuts down on weeds and ants.
Seal & Protect
Professional sealer deepens color, adds your choice of natural or enhanced finish, and helps the surface resist stains and UV fade.
Patios, Walkways, Driveways — and the Pool Deck Too
Any interlocking paver surface qualifies: backyard patios that have hosted a decade of summers, front walkways that set your home's first impression, paver driveways carrying real vehicle load, and pool surrounds where joint sand loss becomes a barefoot hazard.

During your estimate we'll assess the base as well. Sunken, heaved or shifted sections are fixed first through our paver repair service, so the cleaning, sand and sealer go down over a sound surface.

Paver Restoration FAQs
How much does paver restoration cost versus replacement?
Paver restoration starts at $399 for a full clean, re-sand, and seal, well below what demolition and new installation would cost, with visually comparable results. Your estimate itemizes each stage so you can see exactly where the value sits.
What is polymeric sand and why does it matter?
It's joint sand blended with a binder that stiffens after it is watered. Compared with plain sand, it resists washout from rain, runoff and cleaning, and it cuts down on weeds and ants without ending them. It adds no structural strength, so it can't make up for a failed base, and it goes into joints cleared to at least 1½ inches, never over old sand.
How long does the restored surface last?
No polymeric sand maker we've checked gives the joints a fixed lifespan, so we don't promise one: runoff, downspouts, shade and how the surface is cleaned all decide it. The sealer is renewed every three to five years to keep the color and stain protection up, and a look at the joints each spring shows when they need attention.
Can you fix sunken or shifted pavers?
Yes. Our paver repair service lifts sunken or heaved pavers, corrects the base underneath and resets them, replaces cracked or broken pavers, and resets shifted edges and failed edge restraints. Repairs are quoted on their own, from photos or in person, and they come first, so a restoration never seals over a problem. If tree roots or a drainage problem is behind the movement, we'll tell you during your estimate, since that work is outside what we do.
