Vent: My neighbor's new paver patio is already sinking in the corners.
They didn't compact the base gravel enough before laying the sand. I watched them do it in one afternoon, and we get serious freeze-thaw cycles here in Denver. Has anyone else had to fix a sunken patio after just one season?

That sinking feeling is the worst! Saw the same thing happen to a friend's walkway. They tried just adding more sand on top, but it just washed out again after the next big rain. The real fix is pulling up those pavers, tamping down a proper gravel base, and starting over. It's a huge pain, but doing it half way just means doing the job twice.
