causing the stones to sink and causing a water problem in Plaintiffs'
basement.
Plaintiff informed Defendants of the problems with the paver stones but
Defendants failed to take any remedial action.
Due to Defendants' failure to properly install aforesaid paver stone patio,
Plaintiff's were forced to replace said patio at a cost of $16,314.00
