Paver Restoration

Repair sunken, uneven, and failing pavers without full replacement

Paver Restoration and Resealing Near Me

Paver restoration is the right solution when patios, walkways, or driveways are still in good condition but no longer perform the way they should. Sunken areas, uneven surfaces, shifting pavers, and drainage problems are usually signs of base or installation issues below the surface, not worn-out materials.

At Boulder Ridge Landscaping, we restore paver surfaces the right way. Based in Burlington, Wisconsin, we serve homeowners throughout Racine and Walworth Counties with professional paver restoration that focuses on long-term stability, safety, and appearance. As a BBB-accredited business and Unilock Authorized Contractor, we follow proven methods to relevel pavers, correct base and drainage issues, and return your hardscape to a clean, like-new finish.

Whether your pavers have become a trip hazard, are holding water, or simply look uneven and tired, our restoration process can extend the life of your patio, walkway, or driveway without the cost of full replacement.

Do Your Pavers Just Need a Good Cleaning?

Most paver restoration projects fall between $2,500 and $6,500, depending on the condition of the surface and the amount of work required. In many cases, restoration costs less than one third of a full paver replacement, making it a cost-effective way to extend the life of your patio, walkway, or driveway.

Final pricing depends on several factors, including:

- Size of the area being restored
- Severity of settling or movement
- Condition of the existing base
- Drainage issues that need to be corrected
- Labor involved in lifting, regrading, and resetting pavers

The scope of work can vary widely. Some projects involve surface-level restoration, such as power washing to remove buildup, followed by new polymeric sand and sealing. Others require removing pavers, rebuilding the base, improving drainage, and reinstalling the surface correctly from the ground up.

After an on-site evaluation, we’ll explain what’s causing the problem, outline your options, and provide a clear scope and price so you can make an informed decision.

Signs Your Pavers Need Restoration

Paver issues often start small but get worse over time if they aren’t addressed properly. If you’re noticing any of the problems below, restoration is often the best solution.

- Sunken or uneven pavers that create trip hazards
- Shifting or lifted pavers after freeze thaw cycles
- Standing water or poor drainage on patios, walkways, or driveways
- Missing or failed joint sand that allows weeds and erosion
- Spreading edges or loss of the original layout
- Pavers that still look good but no longer perform correctly

Catching these issues early can help extend the life of your pavers and avoid the cost of full replacement.

Our Paver Restoration Process

Restoring pavers the right way means fixing the underlying cause of the problem, not just making the surface look better. Our process is designed to correct base and drainage issues so your patio, walkway, or driveway performs properly long term.

- Site inspection and evaluation We inspect the surface, base conditions, and drainage to determine why the pavers are sinking, shifting, or holding water.
- Careful paver removal Unlevel or affected pavers are removed and set aside for reuse whenever possible.
- Regrading and base correction We regrade the area and rebuild the base using compacted crushed stone to restore proper support and pitch.
- Drainage improvements If water is contributing to the failure, we repair or improve drainage to move water away from the surface.
- Resetting the pavers Pavers are reinstalled level and tight using manufacturer-approved patterns and spacing.
- Surface cleaning The area is power washed using a surface cleaner to remove buildup and restore the appearance of the pavers.
- Joint sand and stabilization Polymeric sand is installed and compacted to lock pavers in place and reduce weed growth and erosion.
- Final sealing When appropriate, we apply a professional-grade sealer to protect the surface and enhance color and durability.

By addressing both the surface and what’s underneath, we’re able to restore pavers to a clean, stable, like-new condition that holds up over time.
