How to Level a Sinking Paver Step · Step 3 of 4
In this video
Once the sand base is leveled and compacted, carefully place the pavers back into their original positions. Use a rubber mallet (like a Husky brand mallet) to gently tap each paver into place, ensuring it sits firmly and is level with the surrounding pavers. Use the 2x4 as a guide to check the height and evenness of the installed pavers. If a paver is too low, lift it, add a small amount of sand, and re-compact. If it's slightly too high, use the rubber mallet to pound it down. Repeat this process for all the pavers in the repaired section until the entire area is level and stable. Periodically scrape away any loose dirt or excess sand from the edges of the pavers as you work to maintain clean lines.
