Interlock Restoration · Past Work

The same stones. Photographed before and after.

Every pair below is one real job — the same surface, the same property, photographed before the work and after it. No stock photography, and no borrowing a finished patio from someone else's driveway.

3–5-year joint warrantyBBB accredited — A+Owner-led, every jobOptional weeding steam treatment

Restored backyard paver patio seen from the deck — crisp joints, circle garden bed, lawn on both sides — A finished restoration, seen from the deck. Same pavers the owners already had.

Front entry & circle inlay

Natural Finish

Front-entry walkway with circle inlay before restoration — faded pavers, mossy joints — Before

The same front-entry walkway cleaned — joints cleared out and colour revived in evening light — After — cleaned and ready for new sand

Every joint extracted, the surface hot-water cleaned, then rebuilt with polymeric sand. Even before the sand goes back, the circle inlay reads as new — without a single paver being replaced.

Curved garden-wall walkway

Natural Finish

Curved walkway beside a garden wall with weeds in every joint — Before

The same curved walkway restored — cleaned tumbled pavers, crisp lawn edge — After — same walkway

Weeds had taken every joint along the wall. Extraction, steam into the open channels, then fresh sand compacted and levelled.

Backyard patio & dining area

Natural Finish

Backyard patio with dining set — moss-filled joints and faded pavers — Before

The same patio cleaned — joints cleared out and colour revived, ready for new sand — After — patio ready for new sand

A patio the owners had stopped using. Same stones, same layout — the joints were the whole problem.

Side walkway

Natural Finish

The same side walkway with fresh polymeric sand joints and a tidy lawn edge — After — same walkway

The strip beside the house that everyone writes off. Fresh polymeric sand, and the edge re-cut against the lawn.

Flagstone path — heaved and gapped

Natural Finish · repair

Flagstone path with heaved stones and wide open gaps, grass invading between them — Before

The same flagstone path re-set flush with joints packed and crisp lawn edges — After — re-set flush

Frost had lifted the stones and opened the gaps wide enough for the lawn to move in. Lifted, bedding re-screeded, every stone re-set flush.

Circle-fan driveway

Steam weeding + restoration

Circle-fan interlock driveway with weeds through the joints, steam unit parked on the surface — Before — steam unit on site

The same driveway freshly re-sanded, the joints sealed by new polymeric sand and the surface still wet — weed-free, crisp lawn edge — After — wet, freshly re-sanded; joints sealed by the sand, not a sealer

The steam unit is visible in the before frame — weeds and their roots killed in the joints before anything else happens.

S-curve walkway — the sealer, isolated

CAT5 Seal & Renew

S-curve walkway restored and re-sanded but unsealed — flat grey-tan pavers — Restored — unsealed

The same walkway after CAT5 — rich brown and charcoal satin colour — After CAT5

Both frames are the same restored walkway from the same spot. The only difference between them is the sealer — so what you see is exactly what CAT5 adds, and nothing else.

What Happens In Between

The part nobody photographs.

The afters above are the easy pictures. These are the stages that decide whether they still look like that in five winters.

Pavers lifted beside a fountain ring exposing gravel bedding and edge restraint — Where a surface has sunk, the stones come up and the base gets fixed — not covered over.

Screeded bedding with level, trowel and limestone screenings ready for relay — Bedding re-screeded and levelled before a single stone goes back.

Freshly troweled concrete edge restraint locking circle-border pavers — Concrete edge restraint — the hidden work that stops edges creeping.

Charcoal soldier-course border against green grass, field pavers colour-restored with the joints cleaned out — Old joints out and the colour back — the surface the moment before new sand goes in.

Patio flooded with polymeric sand mid-install, plate compactor and screed bar in frame — Polymeric sand worked into every joint, then compacted and topped up.

Patio mid deep-clean, white cleaning foam blanketing the pavers — The deep clean before sealing — foam and water, not sealer.

Re-sanded walkway pavers with the joints filled flush, tan soldier-course border and lawn beyond — The finished joint line: every joint filled flush. No sealer on this one — that is a separate service.
