Troubleshooting

Pavers are uneven after installation.

Ensure the base is properly leveled before installing the pavers. Check for any obstructions or uneven ground and correct accordingly.

Water is not draining effectively.

Check the infill material. Ensure it is a free-draining material and that the drainage path is not blocked. Clear any debris that might be obstructing the flow of water.

Weeds are growing through the pavers.

Make sure the weed-resistant membrane is properly installed and covers the entire area. Remove any weeds that appear and consider using a weed killer if necessary.

Pavers are moving or separating.

Ensure the pavers are properly interlocked with the click-fit connectors. Check the base for stability and ensure the infill is packed adequately to provide support.
