Which paver service does your surface need?

Pavers go wrong in different ways, and each one has a different fix. Find the one that looks like yours. If you are not sure, send us a photo with your estimate request and we will tell you which it is.

  • This page

    Dirty, but solid

    Green or black buildup, weeds in the joints, stains that sweeping will not move. The pavers sit tight and the surface is stable.

    Joint sand washing out

    Gaps between the pavers, sand left on the driveway after rain, weeds pushing up through the joints.

    Joint sanding, then sealing to lock it in

  • Separate service

    White, cloudy or peeling sealer

    A hazy film or flaking patches means the old coating is failing. More sealer on top may not solve it, so we look at it first.

    Paver stripping and restoration

  • Separate service

    Sunken or uneven pavers

    Low spots, rocking pavers or a lip you could trip on. Sealing does not level pavers. They get lifted and reset first.

The process

Cleaning, sanding and sealing, in order.

Each stage sets up the next one. Seal over dirt and you lock the dirt in, which is why the order never changes.

  1. Gray surface cleaner disc on a paver walkway beside landscaping, with a lighter cleaned strip behind it

    Clean

    We look over your pavers and any sealer already on them, then clean with pressure that suits the surface. Algae, mildew, weeds and stains come off first, so there is nothing left to seal in.

  2. Sand

    With the surface clean, we check the joints and put sand back where it has washed out. We always do a wet sanding application with paver joint sand on every sealing project. Full joints let the pavers sit tight against each other and leave less room for weeds and water to get in. Want to pick the sand color? See the joint sand options from our supplier.

  3. Roller and red tray of white sealer being used on pavers at the edge of a pool, with a coated strip visible

    Seal

    When the surface is ready and the weather is right, the sealer goes on across the whole area. It locks in the joint sand and helps protect the pavers against moisture and fading. We go over the sealer and the finish with you when we quote the job.

Where we work

Driveways, walkways, pool decks and lanais.

Brick paver sealing in Sarasota usually means one of these spaces. Each is used differently, so each job is planned around how you use it.

  • Brown and red brick paver driveway in front of a modern single story home with yellow caution tape across the foreground

    Driveways

    Driveway paver sealing has to stand up to cars, tire marks and full sun. We plan the job around when you need your driveway back.

  • Brick paver walkway curving beside a lawn toward a house entrance

    Walkways and entryways

    Feet, rain and shade. Algae shows up here first, and it is the first thing guests walk over.

  • Wide low view of a screened pool lanai with a gray tumbled paver deck and a small pool beyond

    Pool decks and lanais

    Pool deck paver sealing deals with constant water and sun. Furniture and planters come off before we start, and we can arrange help moving them for a fee.

Plain concrete is a different surface, see concrete cleaning and sealing. Natural stone and marble need their own care, see natural stone cleaning and sealing.

Cost and warranty

Paver sealing cost, and the warranty.

We do not post a flat price per square foot, because two driveways the same size can need very different work. Once we have looked at your pavers, you get a written estimate that lists what is included. The estimate is free.

What moves the price

  • The size of the area
  • Whether old sealer has to come off before resealing
  • The condition of the pavers and the joints
  • How easy the space is to reach, and where the water comes from
  • Extras like moving furniture, which we can arrange in advance for a fee
3 years

Minimum warranty on paver sealing

Patrick stands behind the sealing he puts down. Ask for the warranty terms in writing before the work starts, so you know exactly what it covers. The warranty is for paver sealing, so ask about the terms for any other service on your estimate.

After the seal

Drying, curing and keeping it looking good.

Fresh sealer needs time before it takes traffic. These are the typical times. Your job gets its own instructions, because the weather and the sealer used can change them.

  • 24 hrs

    On foot

    Stay off the pavers for about a day after sealing.

  • 48 hrs

    On wheels

    Keep cars off for about two days.

  • Off

    Sprinklers

    Irrigation stays off while we seal and for the aftercare period we give you.

Keeping it looking good

  • Sweep and rinse gently

    Regular sweeping and a gentle rinse keep a sealed surface clean. It does not need high pressure.

  • Tell us what you notice

    Dull spots, or sand starting to leave the joints? Send a photo and we will tell you what it needs.

  • Ask about yearly care

    We can set up annual or semiannual cleaning for your property. Each visit is a chance to look over the sealed surface and decide if it needs more.

How it works

From first call to sealed pavers.

Four steps, and you know what is coming at each one.

  1. Talk it through

    Call, text or send the form. Tell us what you see and add photos if you can. When a job needs it, we come and look in person.

  2. Get a written estimate

    It lists what is included and why. Nothing is scheduled until you approve it.

  3. Prep and work

    We send preparation instructions. You clear furniture, vehicles and anything movable, and turn the sprinklers off. Then we clean, sand and seal.

  4. Walk it, then pay

    We check the finished job with you and go over any aftercare. Payment comes after that, and we follow up to make sure you are happy.

Questions

Before you book the wash.

Do pavers need to be cleaned before they are sealed?
Close portrait of a smiling man

Yes. Sealer goes on last, because sealing over algae, stains or loose dirt just locks them in. Cleaning comes first, then we check the joints and put sand back where it is needed. Some pavers only need that much, and sealing is a separate decision. Before any of it, we look at the pavers and any sealer already on them to decide what your job needs.

Can you seal over white or peeling old sealer?
Close portrait of a smiling man

Usually not as it is. White, cloudy or peeling sealer means the old coating is failing, and more sealer on top may not fix that. We look at it first. If the old coat has to come off, that is paver stripping and restoration, which we also do. Ask for an assessment and send a few close photos.

How much does paver sealing cost in Sarasota?
Close portrait of a smiling man

It depends on the size of the area, the condition of the pavers, any old sealer that has to come off, and how easy the space is to reach. We do not guess from a distance. After we look at your pavers you get a free written estimate that spells out what is included.

When can I walk or drive on sealed pavers?
Close portrait of a smiling man

For a typical job, stay off the pavers for 24 hours and keep vehicles off for 48 hours. Weather and the sealer used can change that, so go by the instructions we give you for your project. Sprinklers stay off for the aftercare period too.

What warranty comes with paver sealing?
Close portrait of a smiling man

Patrick gives a minimum 3 year warranty on paver sealing. Ask for the terms in writing before the work starts, so you know exactly what it covers. It is a paver sealing warranty, so ask about the terms for any other service on your estimate.

Do I need to move my furniture?
Close portrait of a smiling man

Yes. Please clear furniture, decorations, vehicles and anything else movable from the work area before we arrive. If you need a hand, tell us ahead of time. We can arrange moving help for an extra fee.

What if some of my pavers have sunk?
Close portrait of a smiling man

Sealing does not level pavers. Settled or uneven pavers need to be lifted and reset first, which is paver repair and releveling. Tell us about them when you ask for your estimate so the plan covers both.
