Re: How to repair sunken paving?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @brab969. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about raising sunken paving.

 

You'll need to remove all the sunken pavers and restore the bedding material. The simplest option might be to add paving sand under the pavers and water it to compact. Add enough sand, so the pavers are slightly proud of the surrounding surface. Once the pavers are re-installed, they'll compact the sand down further and hopefully end up flush with the surrounding pavers.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Mitch 

 

thanks for the advice 

base on some of the previous posts 

and your advice I used 

Roadbase to partially fill -compacted

then topped up with paver sand -compacted as best I could

then sealed with powerloc

also purchased a rubber mallet which proved invaluable

thanks again

Brian
