re: Anyone here have pavers around their pool

If no rain, there must be some voids in the backfill that are causing excessive settlement

This is what the builder told us as well. Apparently after they pour the walls of the pool, they backfill the outside of the walls. They are suppose to add small amounts of dirt, compact it, then add a little more, compact, etc. He said he believes they added too much soil and tried to compact it at once. He had it checked for any water and there is nothing there. No washout. Just the lower level soil settling which is causing the upper level to fall. That's why all the pavers that are sinking are within 6 feet of the pool walls.

They are, as we speak, removing all the pavers, digging up a some of the soil then repacking and adding small amounts then packing, etc. I noticed that they do add some crush to it, just not sure how much.

We will see how it comes out by the end of the week.
