Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Often it is, once pavers have faded, lost sand or gone green. Unilock, a paver maker, notes its pavers perform without sealer, yet a coat can enrich color, keep sand locked in the joints and guard against moisture and stains. With big summer downpours, that protection earns its keep. For an honest read on yours, book a free estimate.

How much do people charge to seal pavers?

Safe Touch, a Northeast Florida company, publishes a rate of $1.75 to $3.25 a square foot for cleaning, sanding and sealing together. Applied to a 600 square foot driveway, that brackets roughly $1,050 to $1,950. Stripping an old coat or lifting sunken pavers is billed on top. Want a figure for your own surface?

How often should pavers be sealed in Florida?

Florida paver companies commonly quote two to five years between coats. A sunny, open driveway wears toward the low end, while a shaded side walk may stretch past it. Water that sinks in and darkens the stone rather than beading is your cue that the coat is thin. Call (904) 593-3709 if you want yours checked.

Is there a downside to sealing pavers?

There is. Sealing returns every few years as a cost, gloss can turn slippery around wet pool pavers, and sealer rolled over damp surfaces may haze. Picking a dry window and a finish suited to each spot sidesteps most of it. To weigh the trade-offs for your home, book a free estimate.

What is the average cost to seal pavers in Florida?

Published Northeast Florida rates run $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the whole clean, sand and seal job. Small, fussy areas drift toward the high end of that band, and wide open driveways toward the low end. A 450 square foot patio would run roughly $790 to $1,460. Call (904) 593-3709 to see where yours falls.

Why is paver sealing so expensive?

Prep eats most of the budget. Washing, stain treatment, fresh joint sand and waiting for everything to dry all come before any sealer is applied, and then a sprayer and roller pass follows. A quote that skips those stages usually costs less and lasts less. When two bids differ, book a free estimate and ask each to list what is included.

Do pavers in Paxon turn green?

Shaded corners and fence-side walks often do. Wikipedia puts the local rainfall near 52 inches a year, and pavers that stay damp under shade are where algae gets going. Washing, then sealing, makes the surface simpler to keep clear. Phone (904) 593-3709 to have a green walkway inspected.
