My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

PAVER PROBLEMS, PLEASE ADVISE

8 years ago

In Florida, we extended our exsisting patio. The pavers on the extension have turned black and only the new pavers. Why have just the new pavers turned, is this an indication that there is a problem with the pavers they used? what can be done?

    Could be mold, lichen, or algae that were on the pavers and then 'bloomed' with dampness. I would try pressure washing and scrub with a bleach solution (10% or so) or mold killer. I imagine you've done this, but make sure there isn't too much over-spray from sprinklers. If all else fails, contact the manufacturer
