Hi All,

Our block paved patio is suffering with a few partially sunken blocks. You hopefully can see from the photo what I mean.

The step has been formed from house bricks which over the years has eroded and let the sand holding the pavers to leak out. Again, hopefully you can see from the photo.

To make my life easier, could I remove the affected blocks, pour some sand / cement mix and reseat them rather than replace the house bricks, etc. which would be a much bigger job?

Any advice welcomed.

Cheers
Dazzy

Hello darrenkarp,
It doesn't look like anyone answered you.

This is a link to the method proposed for this site
http://ext.pavingexpert.com/cgi-bin....;t=4485

but I used Microsoft One Drive which gives you the ability to share photos via a link which you can copy and paste into the post. That's what I have done when posting here.

I imaging Googledocs have something similar but I haven't used that.
