Restoring a Sunken Patio to Its Original Beauty
This project involved the restoration of a previously installed patio that had developed several sunken areas over time. The homeowners originally had their patio laid by another contractor, but within the last year, uneven settling and sunken sections began to compromise both the appearance and safety of the space. Our goal was to restore the patio’s level surface, making it safe, stable, and beautiful once again.

"Thank you Brett and Faith for the great work!"
My Approach
When Earth and Mortar was contacted, we prioritized a prompt and thorough inspection of the affected area. I identified the unstable sub-base and carefully removed the sunken pavers without damaging surrounding areas. My team re-compacted the base material and added proper bedding to ensure long-term stability. We then meticulously re-laid each paver, aligning them seamlessly with the existing pattern.
THE TRANSFORMATION
The after image shows a dramatic improvement: the once sunken and disjointed section is now completely level and blends in perfectly with the surrounding patio. The transformation restored the patio’s functionality and appearance while extending its lifespan. The repaired section is not only visually appealing but structurally sound—designed to withstand future settling.
CLIENT’S ENDORSEMENT
The homeowner’s feedback reflects their delight with the project:
"Thank you Brett and Faith for the great work! Several years ago we had a paver do our patio. Over the last year multiple sections started sinking. I called Earth and Mortar for some assistance and they were out there quickly to level out the pocket and relay the pavers. Couldn't be happier with their craftsmanship."
