Weeds growing between patio pavers? Here's Who to Call

Weeds and moss sprouting between pavers mean the joint sand has washed out, leaving gaps that trap seeds and hold moisture. Left alone, the loose joints let pavers shift and the patio goes uneven. A mason or hardscape pro can clean the joints, re-level any sunken pavers, and refill with polymeric sand that hardens to lock the joints and block regrowth.
