Your Patio Pavers Are Shifting—Fix Them Before Summer BBQs
That beautiful paver patio you installed three years ago now has gaps between stones, weeds pushing through, and a noticeable dip near the grill area. The clay soil beneath Cedar Park's subdivisions has been expanding and contracting with every rain cycle.
The real cost of waiting: Ignore it and you're looking at trip hazards, water pooling against your foundation, and a patio that ages ten years in one summer. Plus, those gaps will only get wider.

Questions to ask Cedar Park contractors

Frequently asked questions
My pavers have white haze after rain—is that normal in Cedar Park?
That's efflorescence—mineral deposits from our alkaline soil leaching through. It's common here. A pro can treat it with specialized cleaners and seal to prevent recurrence.
Should I reseal before or after summer in Cedar Park?
Seal in early spring (March-April) when temps are 50-80°F. Summer surface temps here can exceed 140°F, preventing proper sealant cure.
How often should I have my Cedar Park patio professionally maintained?
With our clay soil and intense summers, plan for professional cleaning and inspection annually, with resealing every 2-3 years. Buttercup Creek and Avery Ranch patios with heavy shade may need more frequent moss/algae treatment.
