Burien Paver Patio & Walkway Repair Services

Hey there, Burien homeowners! 🌲 Is your patio looking more like a wavy ocean than a flat surface? If your pavers are becoming a tripping hazard with their uneven surfaces, gaps, or mossy patches, it’s time for some serious TLC. At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in lifting, relaying, and re-grading those paver patios and walkways to ensure they look fabulous, drain properly, and keep your ankles safe from mishaps!

We proudly serve all around West Burien—from Admiral to Alaska Junction, Alki to Fauntleroy, Arbor Heights to Delridge, Gatewood, High Point, Morgan Junction, and Roxhill. We’re right in your neighborhood, ready to bring our expertise to your doorstep!

What’s the Problem?

Here’s what might be happening with your pavers:

• Sunken or heaved pavers caused by our lovely (but sometimes brutal) Burien winters and clay soils.
• Trip lips & loose bricks due to washed-away bedding sand, leaving your pathways less than safe.
• Puddling at the house from incorrect grading or runoff pooling into your garden beds.
• Edge failure—that flimsy plastic edging has popped out, and your borders are starting to wander.
• Moss, weeds, and ants thriving in open joints because your polymeric sand has long disappeared.

How We Fix Pavers (the right way)

Here’s our detailed step-by-step process to get your pavers back in shape:

1. Inspect & map issues — Our team will meticulously assess drainage, slopes, tree roots, and settled areas to identify the root problems.
2. Lift & sort — We’ll carefully remove pavers, keeping your original layout intact, and set aside any damaged pieces for replacement.
3. Repair the base — We dig out soft spots and replace them with compacted crushed rock (no pea gravel here!).
4. Reset grade — We’ll screed concrete sand to guarantee water drains away from structures at the right angle (⅛–¼” per foot).
5. Relay pavers — We’ll meticulously put everything back together with tight joints and staggered seams, perfectly matching your existing pattern.
6. Edge restraint — We’ll secure borders with new edging or a concrete toe to keep them in place.
7. Compact & set — Using a plate compactor, we’ll firmly set everything in place and top up the joints.
8. Polymeric re-sand — We’ll broom in, vibrate, and clean up with a blower before misting to activate the sand.
9. Drainage options — If needed, we can add channel drains, catch basins, or French drains to improve site drainage and keep things flowing.
10. Clean & de-moss — A low-pressure rinse, safe moss treatment, and efflorescence cleaning will leave your pavers looking fresh and inviting.

We don’t just cover up problems. If roots are causing headaches, we’ll prune them or reroute the path instead of hoping for the best!

What We Work On

We’re equipped to handle a variety of surfaces, including:

• Concrete pavers, clay bricks, and modular slabs.
• Front walks, side-yard ribbons, cozy backyard patios, trash can pads, and alley approaches.
• Tight-access repairs in Burien’s charming hills and alleys—no problem for our experienced team!

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Hardscape’s Routine)

Keep your hardscape in tip-top shape with our annual maintenance plan:

• Joint health — Regular inspections and sand top-ups before the rainy season to keep everything in place and looking sharp.
• Moss control — Seasonal treatments and promoting sun/air circulation wherever possible.
• Edge patrol — Early detection of border creep to re-secure them as needed.
• Drainage check — We’ll clean channel and basin grates to keep everything flowing smoothly.
• Spot lifts — We tackle early dips before they become major headaches.

We’re all about low-maintenance landscaping—fewer problems mean less work for you!

Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a schedule that suits your needs:

• Quarterly — Enjoy spring and fall resets with two light tune-ups.
• Bi-Monthly — Perfect for shaded/mossy areas or high-traffic spots.

(If you’ve just had fresh repairs or have heavy shade, start with monthly visits for 60–90 days, then taper off!)

What Annual Maintenance Includes

Your annual maintenance package includes:

• Power sweeping + low-pressure rinsing (no joint blasting, promise!)
• Polymeric re-sand for any opened joints.
• Edge restraint checks and necessary corrections.
• Spot lift/relay for emerging dips and lips.
• Drainage inlet cleanout and moss/algae treatment.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Here’s why you should consider annual maintenance:

• Safety — Fewer trip hazards and less slime on shaded paths mean peace of mind for you and your guests.
• Longevity — Tight joints mean less water infiltration and fewer repairs in the long run.
• Cleaner look — Sharp edges and even planes beat patchwork fixes any day.
• Lower cost — Small, regular corrections can save you from costly full tear-outs down the road.

Getting started is a breeze:

1. Free Estimate — We’ll take photos or do a quick walkthrough to provide clear, upfront pricing.
2. Plan & Schedule — Together, we’ll nail down drainage, patterns, and any additional services you might want.
3. Repair Day — Our team will lift, fix the base, relay pavers, secure edges, re-sand, and clean everything up—no mess left behind!
