Begin by identifying the sunken or displaced pavers. Use a wooden mallet to gently tap around the edges of the affected pavers to loosen them. Once loose, carefully remove the pavers by hand and set them aside. After the pavers are removed, use a hand trowel or your gloved hand to excavate any loose soil, debris, or old bedding material from the area. The goal is to create a clean, stable sub-base for the new bedding material.
