Patio Repair & Restoration

Patio repair and restoration services that address the damage Ottawa's extreme climate inflicts on outdoor surfaces year after year. Over 50 freeze-thaw cycles each winter, combined with temperature swings from -30C to +35C, cause pavers to shift, mortar joints to crack, stone to spall, and bases to settle unevenly.

Road salt tracked onto patios accelerates surface deterioration, while Ottawa's heavy clay soils shift seasonally as moisture levels change, creating dips, humps, and drainage problems that worsen over time. Our repair services include paver re-levelling, where we lift settled sections, re-compact and add base material, and reset pavers to proper grade. Joint restoration removes failed polymeric sand or cracked mortar and replaces it with materials rated for Ottawa's freeze-thaw severity.

For natural stone patios, we address spalling, staining, and displacement with stone replacement, re-pointing, and surface sealing that extends the life of your investment. Concrete patios with cracks, scaling, or heaved sections can be repaired with overlay systems, crack injection, or partial replacement depending on the extent of damage.

Drainage corrections resolve pooling water caused by base settlement or inadequate original grading, particularly important in the Ottawa River valley's clay soils where water sits rather than percolating away. We also restore patios in heritage districts across the Glebe, Sandy Hill, and Centretown, matching original materials and patterns to maintain neighbourhood character. Early season repairs in May and June prevent minor issues from becoming major rebuilds.
