Hardscaping Specialists does this work in West Palm Beach, where the climate is hot with long cooling seasons (zone 2A) and a sunken driveway section stays in view most of the year.
When do your pavers need releveling?
Pavers need releveling when sections sink after heavy rain or the joints open up and stay open. Both mean the base under the surface has lost support and the surface no longer sits level. Hardscaping Specialists also looks for dips that hold water and edges that sit below the surrounding grade.
Those low spots are where water collects instead of running off. A settled patch can be reset on its own without redoing the whole driveway, and the price follows the area we reset.
This work can lead into paver cleaning and sealing. Looking for hardscaping in West Palm Beach? See every service we offer.
How does the base get rebuilt?
Hardscaping Specialists adds crushed stone and bedding sand to bring the base back to the required depth, then wets and compacts the rebuilt base in lifts. The crushed stone replaces the lost support, and the bedding sand on top gives the pavers a stable bed to sit on.
Compacting in lifts means each layer is tightened before the next one goes on, so the pavers go back down on a base that is firm all the way through.
What permit rules apply in West Palm Beach?
West Palm Beach requires permits for driveways, and local zoning rules still apply to driveway location, material and area. The Florida Building Code, Eighth Edition, is the statewide code currently in effect for construction here. Hardscaping Specialists keeps both in mind when scoping a repair.
Because the zoning rules cover location, material and area, a job that changes any of those is worth raising with us before work starts.
What does paver repair and releveling cost?
Total project price varies with the area reset and typically runs $450 to $3,150. Hardscaping Specialists can give a typical range on the call, and the exact number is confirmed once we see the job. A small dip lands toward the low end, and a large settled area sits higher.
The larger the section, the more crushed stone, bedding sand and compaction it takes to rebuild the base, and that is what moves the number.
Inside the Job
In plain terms, parts of it look like this:
- Mark the settled, rocking, or uneven pavers, then lift them carefully and set them aside for reuse.
- Flush loose debris from the exposed base, then excavate degraded bedding or base material.
