White Center Reset Sunken Pavers — Landscape Repair
Homeowner’s Issue
White Center yards face heavy winter rains, compacted glacial soils, and shady areas that encourage moss and root uplift. Clayey, dense subsoils combined with seasonal wetting and drying cause paver bases to settle, joints to wash out, and edges to pull away—especially on slopes or near downspouts. Many homeowners see depressions, trip hazards, and pooling after storms, which reduces curb appeal and creates ongoing maintenance problems. In older installs there’s often inadequate edge restraint or low-permeability base material that fails to shed water properly. Nearby microclimates—cool, shaded corners from big maples or properties sloping toward West Seattle or Burien—make drainage and sun exposure especially important. Homeowners want a reliable fix that improves safety and looks, but also minimizes repeat visits and chemical use. Our approach focuses on sustainable Landscape Repair: improving base drainage, re-leveling pavers with reusable materials, and choosing low-maintenance joint fixes to reduce weeding and moss over time while protecting soil health and nearby plants.
Our Quality Service
We assess the cause of sinking—erosion, poor base compaction, or clogged drainage—and design a fix that addresses the root problem. Work includes carefully removing pavers, repairing or replacing the base with clean gravel and sand, reinstalling pavers, and finishing joints for stability. We favor sustainable methods only: no herbicides, compost-friendly materials, and options for organic weed control. Local rainfall, slope direction, and nearby hardscapes (driveways, downspouts, and terraces) inform every decision. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, reduced long-term maintenance, and more effective water management on your property.

Before & After / Expectations
Expect some noise and short-term disruption during the workday while equipment is in use. We protect plants and leave the site tidy; you’ll see stacked pavers during the process and a clean, stable surface when finished. Access for trucks and a short hose or power source for compactors helps speed the job. After repairs, minor settlement can occur in the first season; we include a short follow-up to address small adjustments. Care tips: avoid heavy salts, spot-water new joint sand during dry spells, pull young weeds promptly, and keep gutters clear to prevent new base erosion.
FAQs
How long will a typical reset take?
Most single-driveway or patio areas are completed in one day; larger or complex drainage fixes may take 1–2 days.
Do you use herbicides to control weeds between pavers?
No. We use mechanical cleaning, organic joint sands, and mulching to reduce weeds and moss—sustainable methods only.
Will you reuse my existing pavers?
Yes, when possible. Reusing pavers minimizes waste and keeps costs down while preserving the look of your hardscape.
Do you handle drainage problems too?
Yes. We identify and address nearby drainage issues—downspouts, grading, and base material—to reduce repeat sinking.
