White Center Paver Patio & Walkway Repair Services
Hello, White Center homeowners! 🌲 If your paver surfaces resemble a wavy sea instead of a flat patio, it’s time for some care. Uneven surfaces, gaps, or mossy patches aren’t just aesthetic issues—they indicate deeper problems like a failing base or poor drainage. At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in lifting, relaying, and re-grading your paver patios and walkways to ensure they drain effectively and keep your family safe from trips!
What’s the Problem?
Here’s what might be affecting your pavers:
- Sunken or heaved pavers due to our wet White Center winters and clay soils.
- Trip lips & loose bricks from washed-away bedding sand.
- Puddling near the house due to improper grading or runoff into garden beds.
- Edge failure—that edging you installed may have popped out, leading to wandering borders.
- 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 step-by-step process to restore your pavers:
- Inspect & map issues — We’ll assess drainage, slopes, tree roots, and settled areas to identify problems.
- Lift & sort — Carefully remove pavers, keeping the original pattern intact, and set aside any damaged pieces.
- Repair the base — We excavate soft spots and replace them with compacted crushed rock.
- Reset grade — We screed concrete sand to ensure water drains away from structures at the correct angle (⅛–¼” per foot).
- Relay pavers — We’ll replace everything meticulously, ensuring tight joints and staggered seams.
- Edge restraint — We’ll secure borders with new edging or a concrete toe to prevent movement.
- Compact & set — Using a plate compactor, we’ll set everything firmly and fill in the joints.
- Polymeric re-sand — We’ll broom in, vibrate, and clean up with a blower before misting to activate the sand.
- Drainage options — If necessary, we can install channel drains, catch basins, or French drains to enhance drainage.
- Clean & de-moss — A gentle rinse, safe moss treatment, and efflorescence cleaning will refresh your pavers.
We address the root causes! If tree roots are an issue, we’ll prune or reroute instead of masking the problem.
What We Work On
We can handle various 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 White Center’s charming hillside homes and alleys
Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Hardscape’s Routine)
Keep your hardscape in excellent condition with our annual maintenance plan:
- Joint health — Regular inspections and sand top-ups before the rainy season to keep everything secure.
- Moss control — Seasonal treatments and promoting sun/air circulation where possible.
- Edge patrol — Early detection of border creep to re-secure them as needed.
- Drainage check — Clean channel and basin grates to maintain smooth water flow.
- Spot lifts — We address early dips before they escalate into major issues.
We prioritize low-maintenance landscaping—fewer problems mean less work for you!
Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)
Choose a schedule that suits your needs:
- Quarterly — Spring and fall resets with two light tune-ups.
- Bi-Monthly — Ideal for shaded/mossy or high-traffic areas.
(If you’ve just 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, we 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
Consider the benefits of annual maintenance:
- Safety — Reducing trip hazards and slime on shaded paths.
- Longevity — Tight joints mean less water infiltration and fewer repairs over time.
- Cleaner look — Neat edges and even planes beat patchwork fixes any day.
- Lower cost — Small, regular corrections can save you from costly full tear-outs.
