How to Level a Sinking Paver Step · Step 4 of 4
In this video
Install plastic or metal edge restraint along the outer perimeter of the laid pavers that are not against a fixed structure. Use spikes to secure the edging firmly into the subgrade. Mix a small batch of concrete or use a dry-mix mortar to create a stable backfill along the base of the precast steps and behind any edge restraints. Use a trowel to apply the concrete/mortar, forming a strong, permanent bond that locks the steps and pavers in place.
