The mortar in between the stones of your patio or walkway is the softest and weakest part. This is often the area that will deteriorate first. Once water is able to get in between the stones, the mortar deterioration will speed up and eventually the stones themselves can crack or shift. This can be, at best, an eyesore and, at worst, a tripping hazard or safety issue.

When all of the mortar is cracked or shifted, we can chisel it out or use a diamond blade grinder to remove it. This allows us to fill in the joints with fresh new mortar that will re-secure the stones and extend their life. If stones have shifted they can often be lifted, cleaned off and relayed. If they are beyond repair and cracked, we can look for a close match and supply and install new stone.
