The surface moved
Dips, trip points and movement usually require a look at support, grade and edges.
Start with the symptom
What are your pavers telling you?
These are service guides—not generic articles—so you can move directly from the visible issue to causes, process and common questions.
Water is the clue
Standing water, washout and foundation-directed runoff should be corrected before finishing work.
Pavers or joints failed
Isolate damaged units and stabilize the surface before renewing joints.
The surface needs care
Clean and evaluate first, then choose joint renewal, treatment or a protective finish.
A useful first message

- 1A wide photo showing the entire patio, walk or driveway.
- 2A close photo of the low spot, joint, edge or damaged paver.
- 3A photo showing nearby steps, walls, drains or downspouts.
