Paver cleaning and sealing in St. Petersburg
Cleaned, re-sanded, and sealed only when the surface is truly dry.
Sound familiar?
Is this your house?
Weeds and ants in the joints
The joint sand has washed out. It needs replacing before anything is sealed.
A cloudy or white haze
Sealer that went on over damp pavers. It has to come off before it can be fixed.
Faded, dull color
Sun and rain. A clean brings a lot back; sealer brings back the rest.
On the job
What you get back
Clean stone, full joints and an even color, sealed only once it has properly dried.
- Joint sand replaced and set
- Wet look or matte, chosen on a patch
- No cloudy haze, because it was dry
How we do it
Pavers, in the right order
Clean
Surface cleaner on the field, hand work along the edges.
Dry properly
Usually two days. Sealer on damp pavers turns milky.
Re-sand the joints
Polymeric sand swept in and set, so the pavers stop moving.
Seal
Wet look or matte, chosen on a test patch in daylight.
What it costs
What decides the price of paver work
Every job is priced on a written estimate after somebody has looked at the surfaces. These are the things that move the number.
The area
Square footage of the drive, patio or pool deck.
Sand and sealer
How much joint sand is missing, and which sealer you choose.
Old sealer
A failed, cloudy coat has to be stripped first.
The details
For the people who want every step
Order of operations
Clean, let it dry properly, replace the joint sand, then seal. Sealing before re-sanding locks in the gaps; sealing before it is dry traps moisture and turns the whole patio milky.
Sand is structural, not decorative
Joint sand is what stops pavers moving. Polymeric sand sets and resists weeds and washout. A patio that has lost its joints will keep spreading until it is re-sanded, and no amount of sealer holds it.
Wet look or matte, chosen before we start
A wet-look sealer darkens the stone permanently until it wears off. Some people love it and some regret it. We will put both on a test patch and let you choose in daylight.

What people ask us about this
How long does paver sealer last?
About three years on a driveway in full sun, longer on a covered lanai.
Will sealing stop the weeds?
Set joint sand does most of that work. Sealer helps lock it in.
Can you seal the same day?
No. The pavers have to dry first, so sealing is a second visit.
