Not every worn driveway or patio needs to be replaced. StoneForge Paving & Masonry repairs sunken pavers, cracked asphalt, heaved walkways and loose stone, fixing the cause of the problem rather than just the surface.
We repair settled or sunken paver areas, weeds and washed-out joints, potholes and cracks in asphalt, broken or lifted concrete sections, loose bluestone and flagstone, and damaged edges and aprons. Fixing these early stops water getting underneath and saves you from a full replacement later.
Repairs include lifting and resetting pavers on a rebuilt base, re-sanding joints with polymeric sand, asphalt patching and crack filling, concrete section replacement and resetting stone in fresh mortar.
Cost depends on the size of the damaged area, the cause (settling, roots, water, frost), whether the base needs rebuilding and whether matching materials are available. We inspect and give a free written estimate.
We find out why the damage happened so the repair lasts.
What homeowners ask us before booking a paving repair.
Sinking usually comes from a base that was not compacted enough, washed-out bedding sand or water getting underneath. We lift the pavers, rebuild the base and reset them.
Small cracks can be filled and sealed. Larger alligator cracking or potholes usually need the damaged section cut out and patched with new asphalt.
A badly lifted or broken section is usually removed and replaced. We look for causes such as tree roots or poor drainage first.
Cleaning the joints and re-sanding them with polymeric sand removes weeds and makes it harder for new ones to grow.
