Watch: Paver Guides for Fort Lauderdale
Short, practical videos on why pavers sink and shift in South Florida rain, and what an actual restoration involves. Around Fort Lauderdale, FL, most enquiries come in about brick paver installation, so the order below follows the questions we get asked most.
Sunken Patio Pavers: Why the Base Is the Fix
Runoff penetrates the joints, washes out the hidden sand layer, and leaves a void the heavy blocks sink into. The real repair: scrape out the ruined bedding, add crushed rock graded to shed water, re-level a fresh sand bed (uneven means a tripping hazard), then reset the original pavers.
Joint Sand and Polymeric Sealant: What Locks a Patio
Heavy rain washes away the friction holding stones together — dirt and roots fill the gaps, the pavers rest loose on their base, and weeds move in. Fresh joint sand acts as a physical wedge; a liquid polymer cures into a barrier that locks the sand and blocks new roots.
