Having decided a block paving patio would be nice and being given the blocks for nothing I decided to start the job. I followed all the advice on this site and was pleased with the final result. I finished for the evening with the intention of sanding between the joints the next day but in typical british weather style it has now rained for the last week. I have noticed that some of the odd block here and there has now dropped varying between 1 and 3mm. My question is this.
Will I have to lift and relay the effected blocks or will the final going over with the wacker correct this for me.

Any advice appreciated

Cheers

I'm guessing that in the week or so since you posted this question, you've discovered that the plate compactor does a wonderful job of ironing out all those discrepancies between blocks. :D
