Hardscape Repairs
Repairs That Address the Real Problem
Hardscape repairs are often approached as surface fixes—re-leveling a few stones or replacing visible pieces. At Horvath Landscapes, repair work focuses on identifying and correcting the underlying issue so the problem does not return.
​
Many failures in driveways, patios, steps, and retaining walls stem from base preparation, drainage, or movement below the surface. Effective repairs require more than cosmetic adjustment.
When Repair Is the Right Solution
Not every hardscape issue requires full replacement. In many cases, targeted repair or partial reconstruction can restore performance and appearance when the original structure is fundamentally sound.
Hardscape repairs are appropriate when:
​
-
Settlement or movement is localized
-
Drainage issues can be corrected without full removal
-
Original materials are still serviceable
-
Structural integrity can be restored reliably
​
Each situation is evaluated to determine whether repair is responsible or whether rebuilding is the better long-term option.
What Our Hardscape Repair Work Typically Includes
Repair scopes vary by condition and site, but commonly involve:
​
-
Lifting and re-setting interlock pavers
-
Correcting base preparation and compaction
-
Improving drainage and water flow
-
Repairing or rebuilding steps and landings
-
Addressing retaining wall movement or failure
​
Repairs are carried out with the same attention to sequencing and structure as new construction.
Integration with Existing Landscapes
Hardscape repairs often need to tie into existing planting, lighting, and adjacent structures. Care is taken to limit disruption while ensuring the repaired area integrates cleanly with the surrounding landscape.
​
Where repairs intersect with broader site issues, recommendations are provided so decisions can be made with full context.

Construction Standards and Warranty
Hardscape repair work is completed using professional equipment and methods appropriate to the scope of correction required. A two-year workmanship warranty applies to hardscape construction, including repair work where applicable.
​
Support is provided responsibly when issues clearly relate to the original scope of work.
Service Areas and Project Fit
Hardscape repairs are most commonly completed in and around Aurora, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, and King. Larger or more complex repair scopes may be considered in Markham, North York, or Toronto when conditions allow for proper execution.

Starting a Repair Assessment
Successful repairs begin with proper assessment. Engaging us early allows underlying causes to be identified before temporary fixes are attempted.

If you are experiencing movement, settlement, or failure in an existing hardscape, we recommend addressing it before conditions worsen.
