What happens here

Begin by identifying the areas of the paver patio that have settled or sunk. The video demonstrates a long section along a retaining wall and an above-ground pool that has significantly dropped. Carefully remove the pavers from the sunken areas, extending slightly beyond the visibly damaged section to allow for proper blending of the repair. Place the removed pavers in an organized manner nearby for reuse. The narrator initially considers repairing only small sections but quickly realizes a larger approach is needed for a lasting fix.

Goal: Identify sunken areas and carefully remove pavers, preparing for sub-base repair.

Tools and materials

  • Gloves — Protecting hands during paver removal and handling
  • Pavers — The existing patio surface that needs to be removed and reinstalled
