      <description>&lt;P&gt;We have had to have part of our front pavers re laid for the 2nd time in the past 5 years as they keep on lifting.&amp;nbsp; The area is approximately 6 meters x 1 meter and they are red clay pavers, the driveway etc. is fine.&amp;nbsp; Can anyone advise what else can be done as the tradesmen just keep filling it with sand and re laying.&amp;nbsp; Would dolomite or some other kind of filling help to stop it from moving.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1082"&gt;@Jen﻿&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Welcome to Workshop. Thanks for joining the community and making your first post. I trust that Workshop members will have some helpful information and suggestions for you regarding your paving. I take it they are not lifting due to tree roots?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Sorry&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1082"&gt;@Jen﻿&lt;/a&gt;, do you know what is causing the pavers to lift up? Would you consider getting them laid on a concrete base?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Welcome Jen&lt;BR /&gt;If I were you, I'd be calling the "tradesmen" back in to fix the problem, or insist on a refund (if it's the same tradies). They've only applied bandaids by adding sand &amp;amp; relaying.&lt;BR /&gt;As Isobel said, you need to identify what is causing the problem, I suspect it could be roots from a nearby tree, &amp;amp; they need to be dealt with, before relaying the pavers.&lt;BR /&gt;I confess that the pavers that I laid over 30 years ago here at home, were only set in building sand, but it was/is a light traffic area. Incidentally, our pavers are lifting now because of our root issue, but it's not serious enough that I've had to deal with it.&lt;BR /&gt;I'm physically pathetic compared to those earlier days, but if I had to do it tomorrow, I'd lift the pavers with a large screwdriver at the raised areas, use the same screwdriver to loosen the soil around the roots, &amp;amp; remove the sand around the roots by hand. I'd then assess whether I could cut out a section at a time of the roots with loppers, or a plumber's wire saw (used for cutting PVC) to make the cuts.&lt;BR /&gt;Once the offending roots are removed, it's only a matter of filling, &amp;amp; tamping the void. The sand won't be enough on its own, but don't rush off for more sand, just add some soil from your property, it'll do fine.&lt;BR /&gt;Lay the pavers onto your flat bed of sand, &amp;amp; let them settle over time without tamping. If an area subsides, lift those pavers, repack with some sand/soil &amp;amp; plop the pavers back on top.&lt;BR /&gt;It may take time to reach perfection, but it won't be back breaking work.&lt;BR /&gt;Please, feel free to ignore this post if it's not physically possible for you to do what I suggest.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Andy&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your reply.&amp;nbsp; I'ts definitely not tree roots.&amp;nbsp; We've been told it's movement in the ground.&amp;nbsp; The pavers are mostly sinking and some look like they have been laid on a slope but it's not every paver in line, it might be one paver and then the third one down etc.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
