Paver repair and releveling in Volusia County

What failure looks like here

• A dip where a downspout or a pool overflow dumps water.
• Tire ruts in two stripes. The base was thin, or it was never compacted.
• A wavy border. The edge restraint has let go, which is common in loose sand.
• Empty joints and weeds. The sand washed out. That can be a re-sand, or it can be a sign the water path is wrong.
• A low corner next to a sprinkler leak. Fix the leak or the pavers will sink again.

Reset versus replace

Angi prices minor paver repairs, such as replacing a few units, around $200 to $500, and more extensive resetting or drainage work around $1,000 to $2,500. Those are national totals, not a per-square-foot menu. Broken pavers, a base that has turned to mush, or a border that has walked into the grass can push the repair toward a partial rebuild. If more than a third of a driveway is moving, price a new driveway next to the repair so you can compare.

Do not skim sand across the top of a low spot and call it fixed. The low spot is a hole in the base. Topping it off leaves a lip and it settles again after the next hard rain. Polymeric sand is a joint filler, not a structural patch.

After the repair

Ask the installer to extend the downspout, move a sprinkler, or add a small drain if water caused the dip. Then let the joints set before you seal. Sealing a damp, freshly sanded repair is how you get a white film. The sealing page covers timing.
