Restore a sunken brick walkway to its original level and stability
In short: Landscape contractor Roger Cook demonstrates the professional process for repairing a brick path that has settled over time. This guide covers the essential tools and materials required to lift, level, and reset bricks to restore a walkway to its former condition.
When a brick walkway begins to sink, it often indicates that the base layer beneath the bricks has shifted or eroded. Repairing the path involves carefully removing the affected bricks, clearing away the underlying material, and preparing a stable foundation before resetting the bricks in place.
The process relies on specific landscape tools to ensure the bricks are level and properly spaced. By addressing the foundation rather than just the surface, you can prevent future settling and ensure the walkway remains durable and even for years to come.
