South Center Paver Patio & Walkway Repair Services

Hey there, South Center homeowners! 🌲 If your pavers look more like a wavy ocean than a flat patio, it’s time for some TLC. Uneven surfaces, gaps, or mossy patches can indicate issues like failing bases or poor drainage. At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in lifting, relaying, and re-grading paver patios and walkways to ensure they drain properly and keep you safe from trips!

What’s the Problem?

Here’s what might be going on with your pavers:

• Sunken or heaved pavers due to South Center’s wet winters and clay soils.
• Trip lips & loose bricks from washed-away bedding sand.
• Puddling at the house caused by improper grading or runoff.
• Edge failure—plastic edging popping out and borders wandering.
• Moss, weeds, and ants thriving in open joints due to lost polymeric sand.

How We Fix Pavers (the Right Way)

Here’s our step-by-step process to restore your pavers:

1. Inspect & Map Issues — We’ll assess drainage, slopes, tree roots, and settled zones to identify problems.
2. Lift & Sort — Carefully remove pavers while maintaining the original pattern, setting aside any damaged pieces.
3. Repair the Base — We’ll excavate soft spots and replace them with compacted crushed rock.
4. Reset Grade — Screed concrete sand to ensure water drains away from structures correctly (⅛–¼” per foot).
5. Relay Pavers — We’ll reassemble everything with tight joints and staggered seams to match your existing pattern.
6. Edge Restraint — Secure borders with new edging or a concrete toe to prevent movement.
7. Compact & Set — Using a plate compactor, we’ll set everything in place and top up the joints.
8. Polymeric Re-Sand — Broom in, vibrate, and clean up with a blower before misting to activate the sand.
9. Drainage Options — If necessary, we can add channel drains, catch basins, or French drains to improve drainage.
10. Clean & De-Moss — A low-pressure rinse and safe moss treatment will leave your pavers looking fresh.

We don’t cover up problems. If roots are causing issues, we’ll prune or reroute the path rather than just 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 South Center’s charming hills and alleys

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 stable.
• Moss Control — Seasonal treatments to promote sun and air circulation.
• Edge Patrol — Early detection of border creep to re-secure them as needed.
• Drainage Check — Clean channel and basin grates to maintain flow.
• Spot Lifts — We’ll tackle early dips before they escalate into major repairs.

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

Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a maintenance schedule that suits your needs:

• Quarterly — Spring and fall resets with two light tune-ups.
• Bi-Monthly — Ideal for shaded or high-traffic areas.

(If you’ve recently had 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 pathways.
• Longevity — Tight joints reduce water infiltration and future repairs.
• Cleaner Look — Sharp edges and even planes are more appealing than patchwork fixes.
• Lower Cost — Small, regular corrections can save you from costly full tear-outs.
