How we approach paver repair in Dorval
- 1
1. Inspection and Diagnosis
We assess the affected areas and identify the root cause of the issue, not just the visible damage. This includes evaluating the condition of the base, analyzing water flow across the surface, and checking where gutters and downspouts discharge.
- 2
2. Removal of Affected Sections
Damaged or unstable pavers are carefully removed to expose the underlying base. Any compromised materials beneath the surface, including loose, washed-out, or poorly compacted base material, are also removed to allow proper reconstruction.

3. Base Correction and Drainage Adjustment
The base is rebuilt and compacted in layers to restore structural stability. We correct grading issues to improve water flow and prevent pooling or erosion. Where necessary, we address drainage problems at the source to help prevent the issue from recurring.

4. Reinstallation of Pavers
Existing pavers are reinstalled whenever possible, or replaced if damaged. Each section is carefully aligned and leveled to match the surrounding surface for a consistent result.

5. Joint Sand, Compaction, and Final Finishing
Polymeric sand is applied between the joints to help lock the pavers in place and improve durability. The surface is then compacted and cleaned, with final adjustments made to ensure proper level, stability, and appearance.

Decades-old Dorval driveways often show patchy settlement and washed-out joints. We re-level the sunken pavers, top up and compact the base, and refill the joints so the older surface looks tidy and drains properly again.
We help homeowners in Dorval complete outdoor projects with more clarity and less guesswork. Our approach is built around clear pricing, documented work, and communication that helps you feel confident from the beginning of the project to the end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can all paver problems be repaired?
Not always. It depends on the condition of the base and the extent of the damage. If the issue is localized, such as small areas of sinking, shifting, or separation, repairs are usually effective. However, if the foundation is compromised across the entire surface, a full reconstruction may be required.
How do I know if I need repair or replacement?
The decision comes down to the condition of the base, drainage, and how widespread the problem is. If the base is still stable in most areas, targeted repairs are often the best option. If the problems are consistent across the entire surface, replacement may be more cost-effective long term.
What causes pavers to sink or shift?
Most issues are caused by what is happening underneath the surface. Common causes include poor base preparation, inadequate compaction, and water infiltration. Improper drainage, especially from gutters or downspouts discharging near the surface, is one of the most frequent contributors.
Can drainage issues be fixed during paver repairs?
Yes. In many cases, correcting drainage is a key part of the repair process. This may include adjusting grading, redirecting water flow, or correcting downspout discharge. Fixing the water issue is essential to help prevent the same problem from returning.
