4 Signs That You Need to Replace Your Patio Pavers

Your patio is an important part of your house. The better your patio looks, the better the first impression of your home is. A well-maintained and well-styled patio makes your house look more attractive and aesthetically appealing. However, one of the major factors that affect the appearance of your patio is the condition of the patio pavers.

Although the pavers are made to withstand extensive wear and tear and last a long time, they are not made to last forever. A time will come when they start to look old and eventually affect your house’s external appearance. If you aren’t sure when to replace your patio pavers, fret not. Below are the signs that indicate that it’s time to replace your patio pavers.

1.     Visible Cracks

Patios are one of the most roughly used parts of your house. They’re prone to excessive wear and tear. However, it doesn’t mean that they can’t crack. Patio pavers can crack, especially if you drop something heavy on your patio. And if the patio pavers develop a crack, the water can easily seep through the cracks and lead to worse damage. The cracks on patio pavers can lead to even worse damage if the weather is very cold, and the water that found its way through the cracks freezes and expands. Therefore, one of the first signs that indicate that it’s time to replace your patio pavers is the formation of visible cracks.

2.     Uneven Patio

If you observe that water is forming pools on your patio, you need to get alert. Patios are designed with only a slight slope to ensure rainwater or water from patio washing doesn’t get accumulated on the paver surface. However, if the water continues to stand on your patio for days, it is a sign that the patio pavers have become uneven. Uneven pavers can lead to serious issues, including structural problems. Therefore, if your patio pavers have started to look uneven, it’s another sign that indicates that you should replace your patio pavers soon.

3.     Missing Pavers

If your patio is missing a paver or two, it looks ugly and poses a serious trip hazard. If it’s only a few pavers missing here and there, you can simply get them installed. However, if your patio is missing major portions of pavers, you need to get a new patio pavement installed.

4.     Dull and Worn Out Pavers

If there are no visible cracks on your patio or no pavers are missing, you may assume that your patio is in good shape. However, another visible sign that tells you that it’s time to replace your patio pavers is a visible dull, and worn-out appearance. If the pavers appear dull and discolored or have become excessively stained, replacing the pavers is the only viable option to restore your patio’s aesthetics.

Summary

Paved patios look attractive and give a very homely feeling. However, they are good as long as you maintain them in top shape. Keeping an eye out for signs that indicate that it’s time to replace your patio pavers can help you keep your property looking at its best. You can call a reliable paver company to inspect the condition of your patio pavers and replacing them at the right time is the best way to go about it.
