Begin by identifying the problem area, specifically the low spot in the paving stones. Use a spirit level to confirm the extent of the dip. Carefully remove the paving stones from the affected area, extending the removal approximately 12 inches past the edge of the visible low spot. Stack the removed paving stones neatly nearby for later reuse. Once the pavers are removed, use a hand trowel or spade to scrape up and remove the existing bedding layer (usually sand or crushed stone) to expose the sub-base beneath.
