Restore What You Already Have.
Worn doesn't always mean it needs to be replaced.
Years of weather exposure, staining, organic growth, shifting and everyday use can leave an otherwise solid hardscape looking worn and neglected.
Depending on the condition of the existing surface, restoration can address stained pavers, loose or uneven areas, deteriorated joints and other signs of wear without automatically starting over with a complete replacement.
Every hardscape is different. ACE evaluates the existing surface and determines which restoration services are appropriate based on its current condition.
A Complete Restoration Approach
What Does Hardscape Restoration Include?
Hardscape restoration can involve several different services depending on the condition of the existing surface. ACE focuses on addressing the areas that need attention and restoring what can be restored.
Professional Cleaning
Remove dirt, staining, organic growth and buildup to expose the condition of the existing hardscape and prepare the surface for additional restoration when needed.
Paver Repair
Address loose, shifted or damaged areas that may be affecting the appearance and condition of the existing paver surface.
Re-Leveling
Correct settled or uneven areas by resetting affected pavers to create a more consistent and properly aligned surface.
Joint Re-Sanding
Replace deteriorated or missing joint sand after the surface has been properly prepared, helping restore the joints between pavers.
Sealing & Protection
Finish the restoration process with professional sealing when appropriate, helping protect the restored surface and make ongoing maintenance easier.
Not every project requires every step. The restoration process is based on the existing condition of the hardscape and the work needed to bring it back into shape.
Know What To Look For
Signs Your Hardscape May Need Restoration.
Hardscapes naturally change with time, weather and everyday use. These are some of the common conditions that may indicate it's time to have your existing surface evaluated for restoration.
Staining & Discoloration
Faded Pavers
Moss & Organic Growth
Missing Joint Sand
Sunken Pavers
Loose Pavers
Uneven Surfaces
General Weathering
Seeing one or more of these problems doesn't automatically mean you need a new hardscape. Restoration may be able to give the existing surface another life.
Before You Start Over
Restoration Vs. Replacement
A hardscape that looks worn, stained or uneven does not automatically need to be torn out. The condition beneath the surface matters just as much as what you can see.
Restoration
When the existing hardscape is still a good candidate for restoration, targeted work can address problem areas while keeping much of the original surface in place.
Replacement
Some hardscapes may have conditions that go beyond what restoration can reasonably correct. In those cases, more extensive work or replacement may need to be considered.
Don't Assume It Has To Be Replaced.
ACE evaluates the condition of your existing hardscape to determine what can reasonably be restored and what areas may require more extensive attention. An evaluation can help you understand your options before deciding to start over.

The Restoration Process.
Every hardscape starts in a different condition. ACE evaluates the existing surface first, then builds the restoration process around the work the project actually needs.
Assess
Evaluate the existing hardscape, identify problem areas and determine what can reasonably be restored.
Clean & Prepare
Remove dirt, buildup, staining and organic growth as needed while preparing the surface for the next stages of restoration.
Repair & Re-Level
Address loose, damaged, settled or uneven areas and reset affected pavers where restoration requires it.
Re-Sand
Replace missing or deteriorated joint sand when needed after the surface has been properly prepared.
Seal & Protect
When appropriate for the project, professional sealing can help protect the restored surface and make future maintenance easier.
The Process Is Based On Your Hardscape.
Not every restoration requires all five steps. The exact process depends on the surface, its current condition and the problems that need to be corrected. ACE evaluates the project first and recommends the restoration work that makes sense for that hardscape.
