Our Releveling Process

Every job follows our rigorous steps for a solid alignment and flat slabs

01

Inspection & Marking

A careful inspection of water flow and precise marking of every sunken or uneven area. We also identify the root cause — eroded base, poor drainage — to keep the sinking from coming back.

02

Paver Removal

Careful, orderly removal of every existing slab from the affected interlock area. We always protect the lawn and flower beds around the job site before starting.

03

Base Correction

Thorough compaction of the gravel sub-base with a plate compactor and careful adjustment of the sand bed. This is the most important step: a poorly compacted base means the sinking comes back within a year or two.

04

Reinstallation & Rejointing

Aligned reinstallation of the pavers, surface compaction and full rejointing with premium Techniseal HP NextGel polymeric sand. We carefully clean the job site and adjacent surfaces before we leave — nothing left for you to pick up.

Signs You Need to Relevel Your Interlock

In Gatineau and Ottawa, freeze-thaw cycles shift the base under the pavers year after year. Left alone, this gradual movement always ends up creating visible sinking. Here are the most common signs we notice at our customers' homes:

  • Water pools after rain instead of draining properly.
  • Individual pavers sit higher or lower than their neighbours.
  • An uneven surface creates a trip hazard, especially in walkway areas.
  • Gaps or cracks appear between certain pavers.
  • The surface visibly sinks under a vehicle's weight, a sign the gravel base has given way in spots.

Sinking left uncorrected always gets worse over time — pooling water speeds up erosion of the base and makes the problem bigger to fix the following year.

Why Not Wait to Relevel Your Interlock

Sunken pavers aren't just unsightly — they create spots where water sits, which speeds up deterioration and can create trip hazards or icy patches in winter. Every freeze-thaw cycle that hits an already weakened base makes the sinking a little worse. The longer you wait, the more the base under the pavers keeps eroding, making the fix more complex — our projects typically range between $600 and $4,000 depending on the scope of work required.

Frequently Asked Questions — Interlock Releveling

Everything you need to plan your interlock releveling.

Water infiltration, a poor original foundation, or gradual erosion caused by vehicle weight or repeated freeze-thaw cycles. That's exactly why we always identify the exact cause before repairing — otherwise the problem comes back the following year.
No! If they're structurally sound, they're individually removed, cleaned, and then impeccably reinstalled on a freshly corrected and compacted gravel base and sand bed. Reusing your existing stones is generally much cheaper than a full replacement, while keeping your landscaping's original look.
Most residential interlock releveling projects are reliably completed in one to two days of work for a lasting fix. A larger project combining releveling and a full repair (front and back) can take around 3 days, plus one additional day if sealant is added.
We use exclusively Techniseal HP NextGel polymeric sand, the top performer in the line, which cures on contact with water to seal and bind the stones together optimally. It lasts about 5 years before a first replacement.
Yes, the team comes out for free to inspect your property in Gatineau and Ottawa and give you a transparent, clear price with no surprises. It's always Émile or Beckett in person doing the evaluation — never a subcontractor.
Generally June through September, though we can extend that a bit depending on the weather.
If the cause was really a poorly compacted base or the wrong slope, yes — the fix is lasting. But if the poor drainage comes from elsewhere on your property (a badly angled gutter, the lot's own slope), we'll tell you clearly during the evaluation, because releveling alone wouldn't fix the root cause.
No, in the vast majority of cases. The same stones are removed, cleaned, then reinstalled on a corrected base — no need to buy new ones, unless some are damaged beyond repair.
