Before you book paver & hardscape installation, repair
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Photograph every low spot
Take pictures from several angles with a straightedge or a long level laid across the sunken area. Photos let a pro judge how deep the problem goes and whether it is one patch or the whole patio before they arrive.
Run a hose and watch the water
On a dry day, run a hose onto the patio and watch where the water goes. If it collects in a bowl or drains toward the house, tell your pro, because that slope is part of the repair, not an extra.
Save any spare pavers
Spare units stacked in a garage or a leftover pallet are the best match for replacements, since new ones rarely match old pavers exactly. Tell your pro where they are, and check the back of the yard or beside the shed.
Know what is buried below
Mark sprinkler heads, outdoor lighting cables and anything you know runs under the surface. If you are unsure, tell your pro so they can arrange a utility locate before they dig.
Clear the area and the route
Move furniture, planters and grills off the patio and clear a path from the gate or driveway. Pavers, sand and base stone are heavy, and the pro needs room to stage them.
Ask what the warranty covers
Warranty terms for the work are posted by each pro on their profile page. Ask whether it covers settling, joint sand loss and edge movement, and for how long, before you choose.
