Sunken pavers are one of the most common paving problems around Sydney homes. A section drops below the rest, sometimes just one or two pavers, sometimes a whole bay. It's usually the bedding or base beneath that's settled or been washed out. We lift the sunken pavers, correct the bedding and re-lay them flush with the surrounding surface, for homeowners across St George and the Sutherland Shire.
Why Pavers Sink
Pavers sink when the sand bedding compacts, the road base settles, or water washes material out from under the paving. Poor original compaction and drainage are the usual culprits.
Fixing the cause means the repair lasts.

We lift the sunken pavers, re-level and compact the bedding, then re-lay the pavers to match the surrounding height.
Where water is the cause we'll point out the drainage issue so it doesn't recur.
One Section or the Whole Area?
Most of the time only the sunken section needs lifting, and the rest of the paving stays put.
Call us and we'll tell you what's involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can sunken pavers be repaired?
Yes. We lift the sunken pavers, re-level the bedding and re-set them so the surface is flush again.
Why do pavers sink?
Pavers usually sink because the bedding layer or base has settled, compacted or been washed out by water over time.
Can you repair only one section?
Often yes. We can lift and re-level just the affected area without disturbing the rest of the paving.
