  • Ask This Old House landscape contractor Roger Cook teaches his apprentice how to identify and repair a walkway that has been damaged by chipmunks.
    SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: bit.ly/Subscrib...
    Time: 3 hours
    Cost: $100
    Skill Level: Moderate
    Tools List for Repairing a Paver Walkway:
    Trowel
    Shovel
    Buckets
    Level
    Tamper
    Rubber hammer
    Push broom
    Shopping List:
    Stone pack
    Stone dust
    Concrete
    Steps:
    1. Examine the walkway. If the pavers have moved around but the base appears relatively firm, it might just be a freeze/thaw issue. If it appears that the pavers caved in, there’s a good chance it was damage by chipmunk tunnels. Keep this in mind while working on the walkway.
    2. Before moving any of the pavers, take a picture of the pattern laid out.
    3. Remove the pavers and place them carefully out of the way. It helps to lay them down in the same layout they were originally in.
    4. Scrape away any soil that has grown between the pavers.
    5. Fill in any gaps with pack until the base of the walkway is level with the rest of the walkway. Use the tamper to pack everything down.
    6. Level the top of the gaps with stone dust until the base is completely level and compact it using the tamper.
    7. Relay all the pavers in order, starting from the point furthest from the walkway and working back in. Refer to the picture as necessary. Use the level to ensure each paver is level with the walkway. Use the rubber hammer to lower and pavers that might be sticking up.
    8. Sprinkle stone dust on top of the patch and work it in between the gaps of all the pavers with the push brush.
    9. If the damage from the walkway was caused by chipmunks, protect the sides of the walkway by digging a hole on both sides of the walkway.
    10. Fill both holes with concrete, then backfill with soil.
    Resources:
    All the materials Roger used, including the rubber hammer, stone dust, and concrete, can all be found at home centers and landscape supply stores.
    About Generation Next:
    This Old House’s Generation NEXT initiative shines a light on the urgent need for young people to enter the building trades and fill the skills gap in America today. “There’s a critical need for people in home construction,” says the This Old House master carpenter Norm Abram. The initiative has involved recruiting apprentices-some with no skills, some with a few years under their tool belts-to work alongside the TOH TV pros.

    Since buying my first house a year ago, Ive watched so many of these TOH videos. Such a good resource and super smart guys. I really appreciate that these skills are being passed on, because I would bet most people just dont even want to do these types of things anymore

    Though great to see them training up some youngsters. Hopefully this old house will be here for many more years.

    I have a similar issue I rant into today on a paver repair around a pool. I’m really bad sunken shape. I remove one of the paver blocks to look under and I poked the stone dust and a fist size was hollow hole about 2-3 feet down. I was wondering how that could happen. I thought maybe, bad back fill. But now this makes sense.

    I don't live in a country / area with chipmunks, but maybe a solution to that problem would be to put a little rigid drainage pipe under the walkway where it was being pulled up anyway for the chipmunks to go through without digging.

    "Not surprisingly, the ICPI cares about doing interlocking pavement right. Their recommendation for using stone dust under pavers? Don’t.
    They, and many others, recommend what’s commonly referred to as washed concrete sand, a coarse-grained sand that complies with CSA A23.1 and ASTM C33 standards."

    everything was great about this episode... until they decided to add some ugly lumps of concrete at the end. a little forethought would have gone a long way. it would have been no sweat to install the screen when they had 18" of pavers removed and could move the granite step with a prybar.
