Signs Your Brick Pavers Need Attention
Before deciding between repair and replacement, homeowners should assess the condition of their brick pavers. Common signs of damage include:
- Cracks or chips
- Sinking or uneven surfaces
- Fading or discoloration
- Weeds or moss growth
- Loose or wobbly pavers
If only a few pavers are damaged, repair may be the best option. However, widespread issues often mean replacement is more cost-effective in the long run.
When Is Brick Paver Repair the Right Choice?
Repair is often the smarter (and cheaper) option when the damage is limited. Most of the surface still looks good, though you may notice some sunken areas or cracks. In these cases, a skilled mason can fix the problem without starting from scratch.
Here’s when repair makes sense:
- Only a few bricks or stones are cracked
- The base is still solid and hasn’t washed out
- You want a quick fix to improve safety or appearance
- You’re trying to stay within a tight budget
Expert team at Mobile Masonry Contractors can lift, reset, and re-level pavers to bring your space back to life, often in just a day or two.
When Should You Replace Your Pavers?
Sometimes repair is not enough. It might be better to replace everything entirely if there is significant damage or if the foundation has shifted.
Replacement is the better option if:
- Over half of the area is cracked, loose, or sinking
- The original pavers are outdated or mismatched
- Drainage problems have caused erosion underneath
- You’re planning a full redesign or upgrade
Even though it may cost more up front, replacing the surface provides you with a new, strong foundation that lasts longer. It’s also a chance to update the style of your house with new materials or patterns.
