Common Brick Paver Problems We Solve Every Season
Brick pavers are one of the best ways to add timeless beauty and functionality to your outdoor space. Whether it’s a patio, walkway, or driveway, pavers create a clean, elegant look that boosts curb appeal. But like any outdoor surface exposed to the elements, brick pavers can experience wear and tear over time. At Brick Paver Creations, we specialize in solving the most common paver problems homeowners face each season — restoring your surface to its original beauty and durability.
1. Uneven or Sunken Pavers
One of the most common issues we see is uneven or sunken pavers. Over time, the ground beneath your surface can shift due to moisture, drainage issues, or freeze–thaw cycles during the Midwest’s harsh winters. This causes pavers to settle unevenly, creating tripping hazards and drainage problems.
Our paver repair and restoration experts carefully lift, level, and reset the affected pavers. We inspect the base layer, correct any foundation issues, and reinstall the stones for a safe, even surface that looks brand new.

2. Cracked, Loose, or Chipped Pavers
Cracked or loose pavers not only affect your home’s appearance but can also worsen if left untreated. Heavy traffic, base movement, or temperature changes often cause these issues. Instead of replacing the entire area, we replace or reposition only the damaged stones — saving you money while preserving your design’s integrity.
At Brick Paver Creations, our restoration process ensures a seamless blend between old and new, giving your outdoor space a fresh and uniform finish without the cost of a full replacement.

3. Faded and Dull Surfaces
Sun exposure, moisture, and salt can fade the natural color of your brick pavers over time. A dull surface takes away from the charm of your patio or driveway. That’s where our paver seal coating and brick cleaning service comes in.
We start by deep-cleaning the surface to remove dirt, stains, and buildup. Then, we apply a high-quality sealant that enhances color vibrancy while protecting against UV rays, moisture, and stains. The result is a rejuvenated surface that looks brighter and resists fading.

4. Weed Growth and Joint Sand Loss
When joint sand between pavers erodes from rain or foot traffic, weeds and moss start growing in the gaps. This can cause pavers to loosen and shift. Our team restores the joints by reapplying durable, polymeric sand that locks pavers firmly in place and prevents unwanted plant growth.
This process doesn’t just improve aesthetics — it strengthens your entire surface structure, helping your patio or walkway stand firm through all seasons.

5. Poor Drainage and Water Pooling
Water accumulation between pavers or on the surface can lead to long-term damage and erosion. We inspect your surface for drainage issues, regrade where necessary, and make sure your base layer promotes proper runoff. By addressing these problems early, we help you avoid costly structural repairs down the road.
For homes in the Midwest, proper drainage is essential to protect your investment.
