<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep1: Remove Pavers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
While a paving stone sinks, you have to get beneath it to perform any repairs. It\u2019s especially challenging to extract a central paver. However, there are some techniques that can help you with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first, scrape out all the soil and other build up that has accumulated in your paver\u2019s gap from all sides. This way, you get some room to maneuver and get the paver out. You will need a thick wire that can be bent, so you can make a hook and pull out the paver with it. With around four hooks, you can easily lift it from the foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s also the option to use a crowbar. However, make sure to shield the surrounding pavers with a small piece of ply or else they can get chipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Dig Out the Base<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Replace the foundation to build a level surface. Although it\u2019s necessary to dig out the base from beneath the paver, don\u2019t eliminate the foundation from beneath the surrounding pavers. For this purpose, dig a 1-inch square on each side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Replace the Foundations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a simple procedure to replace the foundations. Start with the gravel that\u2019s sitting atop the soil. It must be compressed down so it\u2019s laid on the soil in a stable and neat manner. Add a thin sand layer on the gravel \u2013 it serves as the paver\u2019s base. Also, compress it to make sure that it\u2019s level with the surrounding pavers\u2019 base and stays fully flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Replace the Paver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Next, you have to lower the paver into place, which can be quite complex and you will need some assistance. Get two people to make sure that it is lowered properly and the base remains smooth. To complete the task, add sand to the gaps around the pavers\u2019 edges and keep brushing the sand until the area is filled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
