Paver Cleaning & Sealing in Jacksonville, FL
Restore faded, algae-stained pavers and lock in the color with a proper seal — the right sealer and joint sand keep Jacksonville’s humidity and heavy rain from undoing the work in a season.
What Is Paver Cleaning & Sealing?
Paver cleaning removes algae, mildew, efflorescence and ground-in dirt from concrete or clay pavers using a surface cleaner at the right PSI and GPM for the material, followed by a joint-sand refresh and a penetrating or film-forming sealer across Jacksonville, FL and Duval County. Sealing is what actually protects the investment — it locks paver color, blocks weed growth in the joints, and slows the algae regrowth that Florida’s humidity causes within months of an unsealed clean. Most jobs run 4 to 8 hours depending on square footage and whether joint sand needs replacing, and every job starts with a free, in-person or photo-based assessment.
Every Paver Job Includes
- Surface cleaning at the correct PSI/GPM for concrete or clay pavers — never enough to etch or chip edges
- Joint sand inspection and refresh with polymeric sand where joints have washed out or grown weeds
- Full dry time before sealing — rushing this step is the #1 cause of a cloudy or peeling seal
- Sealer application in your choice of natural or wet-look finish
Sealer Types & How Long They Last
We use commercial surface cleaners for even, streak-free cleaning, then choose between a penetrating (breathable) sealer or a film-forming acrylic sealer depending on the paver material and the look you want. Penetrating sealers keep the paver’s natural, matte appearance and are the safer choice for clay or older pavers; acrylic “wet-look” sealers deepen color and add sheen but require a properly dried, well-cleaned surface to avoid trapping moisture. A quality seal typically lasts 2 to 3 years in Jacksonville’s climate before UV and rainfall wear it down enough to need a refresh.
Do Your Pavers Need Cleaning & Sealing?
Green or Black Algae Film
Shaded patios and pool decks grow slick algae fastest in Duval County’s humidity.
Weeds Growing in Joints
Washed-out sand leaves gaps where weed seed takes hold between pavers.
Faded, Chalky Color
UV exposure fades unsealed pavers within a couple of Florida summers.
Pavers Shifting or Uneven
Eroded joint sand lets pavers rock underfoot — a resend often fixes it without replacement.
What Does Paver Cleaning & Sealing Cost?
