Patio Repair FAQs

It will usually be $10 to $16 per square foot. The cost-per-square-foot only includes the area that actually needs repairing, not the whole patio. If only 100 sq ft of a much larger patio has sunken, the repair might be $1000 to $1600.

Costs can vary widely depending on the size, location, and condition of the patio. Have a look at our patio repair costs guide.

If there are weeds growing between bricks, it means there's soil in the cracks or soil directly under the bricks. Maybe the contractor who originally built the patio put ordinary sand between the joints. That sand can wash away and been replaced by soil. For a long term solution, we recommend replacing the joint material with polymeric sand. We would be happy to take care of it.

The ground beneath your patio expands and contracts with moisture changes, especially in areas with clay-rich soil like Winnipeg. When the soil gets wet, it swells – sometimes unevenly – lifting parts of your patio. Then in dry spells, it shrinks, which can cause sections to settle or sink. This constant movement creates an uneven or wavy surface over time.

We can fix this!

Sometimes large areas of a patio will sink. This is caused by settling of the soil under the patio or a poorly compacted stone base.

If the patio was built on soil that has been disturbed even in the last ten years, it's common for sinking to occur.

This can be fixed.

This is often due to edge restraints failing or being improperly installed. Without a strong edge to hold the pavers in place, the bricks will slowly shift outward.

If the edges of your patio are sinking, it’s usually because the base stone was not extended far enough beyond the edge of the bricks. The soil right at the edge may settle or erode over time, leaving the outer bricks unsupported.

Bricks may become loose if they were not set tightly originally or if the joint sand has been lost over time.

Breakage can occur with low-quality pavers or from impact or stress (such as something heavy being dropped on them).

They can be easily replaced.

Discoloration and stains can come from rust, organic matter like leaves, or spills such as grease or oil.

We can easily swap in new bricks for any that have become stained.
