❓Frequently Asked Questions: Interlock Patio Repair
Q: How long does interlock repair take?
A: Most residential driveway repairs in Toronto take 1–2 days. Larger projects, such as pool decks or massive commercial patios, may take 3–4 days depending on the level of base restoration required.
Q: Will the repaired area look different from the rest of my driveway?
A: Because we reuse your original stones, the color match is perfect. However, if the rest of your driveway is dirty, the repaired area may look cleaner. We often recommend pressure washing & cleaning for the entire surface to ensure a uniform, “like-new” finish.
Q: Can you fix interlock that has “spread” apart?
A: Yes. This is usually due to edge restraint failure. we install new heavy-duty spikes and plastic or concrete borders to pull the “creep” back together and lock the stones in place.
Q: Why is my interlock patio sinking or becoming uneven?
A: In the GTA, the most common cause of sinking pavers is a compromised base or poor drainage. Over time, water can wash away the bedding sand beneath the stones, or the original base was not excavated deep enough to withstand Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles. Our interlock patio repair process involves excavating the area, reinforcing the sub-base, and re-leveling the stones to ensure a permanent fix.
Q: Can you repair a sinking patio without replacing all the stones?
A: Yes! Most patios do not need a full replacement. We can perform “spot repairs” where we carefully lift the affected pavers, add the necessary base materials and HPB (High-Performance Bedding), and then re-install the original stones. This interlock re-leveling service is a cost-effective way to make your patio look brand new without the price of a total installation.
Q: What is the best sand to use for interlock repair?
A: We always recommend and use high-quality polymeric sand. Unlike regular sweep sand, polymeric sand contains a binding agent that hardens when misted with water. This creates a firm bond that prevents weed growth, stops ant infestations, and prevents the “washout” that leads to sinking stones.
Q: Is it necessary to seal my patio after a repair?
A: While not mandatory, we highly recommend interlock sealing immediately following a repair. Sealing protects the new polymeric sand from the elements and prevents the stones from fading or staining. It acts as the “finishing touch” that locks in the repair work for years to come.
