What is included in paver cleaning?
Paver cleaning has three parts: a pre-treatment, a careful wash and fresh joint sand once the surface dries. Every sealing job begins with it, and it can be booked by itself. Spots in shade and inside sprinkler zones usually show it first. To speak with a contractor who does this work, call (904) 569-7795.
Pre-treatment
A cleaner goes down first and sits a while before any rinsing. It loosens algae and other organic staining.
Washing
The surface is washed in sections. Technique matters, since too much pressure pulls sand out of the joints.
Joint sand
Sand goes back into the joints once the pavers have dried. That helps lock them together.
Optional sealing
A sealer coat can come after the surface has fully dried. The sealing guide explains what the coat does.
When do pavers need cleaning?
Time to clean: dark streaks, green patches in shaded corners, weeds in the joints, or sand that washes out after storms. Algae matters most on walks and pool decks, since a slick surface is a safety concern. A single lot may have a tidy driveway and a side walk streaked with stains. To have yours looked at, call (904) 569-7795.
Should I clean my pavers or seal them too?
Cleaning restores the surface, and adding a coat of sealer protects it. Cleaning alone adds no protection, so algae and staining can come back on their own schedule. A sealer coat makes the surface easier to keep clean and can deepen its color. Sealing then repeats every few years, so say which way you lean when you ask for a free estimate.
How often should pavers be cleaned?
Family Handyman suggests cleaning about once a year, in spring. Shaded walks and sprinkler spots can need attention sooner, and an open, sunny driveway may hold up longer. Around Avondale the rainy season runs May through September, so a spring cleaning goes in before algae gets its summer start. For a cleaning schedule that fits your lot, call (904) 569-7795.
Does more pressure mean a cleaner surface?
No, turning up the pressure does not get pavers any cleaner. Western Interlock, a paver company, says about 1,500 PSI is the right target, and Family Handyman warns that spraying into the joints knocks the sand out. Find out the PSI and nozzle size before you ask for a free estimate.
Too much pressure can also scar softer pavers, which is why fresh sand normally follows a wash. Also find out if the cleaner is safe around your plants and pool. Their replies show how much care the job will get. To talk through your surface, call (904) 569-7795.
How long do pavers need to dry before sealing?
Pavers need a few hours in warm sun or about a day in cool shade before sealing, according to Unilock, a paver maker. That is why the wash and the coat are often split by some waiting time. Rain in the forecast may push the date. Find out how the contractor deals with that when you ask for a free estimate.
Which paver surfaces can be cleaned?
Driveways, pool decks, patios, courtyards and walks can all be cleaned. Every area picks up its own kind of grime, so the cleaning plan should fit it. To start with yours, ask for a free estimate.
Driveways
Of all your pavers, the driveway sees the most tire wear, oil and open sky. Cleaning the driveway keeps the color even and the joints full where cars turn.
Pool decks and lanais
Splash water, pool chemicals and bare feet all wear on a pool deck. Cleaning a deck should leave it draining well and not slick.
Patios and courtyards
Back patios and courtyards stay damp under shade, so algae gets a head start. Cleaning a patio targets those green patches first.
Front walks and entries
The front walk is the first thing a visitor steps on. Cleaning an entry is a small job that people notice right away.
What leaves Avondale pavers dirty?
Green film, sand loss, sun fading, sprinkler stains and old sealer lead the list. Cleaning handles some of these and the rest need more work. To learn which ones are on your property, call (904) 569-7795.
1. Green film in the wet season
Duval County gets about 52 inches of rain a year, most of it between May and September. Shaded corners and north sides of a house stay damp, and algae follows.
2. Joint sand washing out
Heavy summer rain pulls sand out of the seams. Once the joints run low, pavers can shift and weeds move in, so fresh sand goes in before any coat.
3. Fading from summer sun
July's average daily high is about 92 degrees. Bare pavers lose depth of color under that heat, and a wash shows what color is left, and sealer afterward helps preserve it.
4. Sprinkler and runoff stains
A sprinkler head that hits the same edge every day leaves a mark. Those marks get treated first, since a coat would lock them in.
5. Cloudy or peeling old sealer
Old sealer can turn milky or lift when moisture gets trapped under it. It has to be dealt with first, and the product choice depends on what is already there.

What do cleaned pavers look like around Avondale?
How does the paver cleaning process go, step by step?
If sealer is not part of the job, work stops after step four, with the joints full. To set a date, call (904) 569-7795.
1. Walk and measure
For the cleaning price, the contractor first measures every paved area. Low spots, loose pavers, old sealer and standing water get noted.
2. Protect and wash
Plants, screens and the garage door are covered, and sprinklers are switched off. A surface cleaner with a pre-treatment lifts algae and dirt at a pressure low enough to spare the joints.
3. Treat the stains
Rust, algae and oil each get a cleaner made for that stain, tried first on a small patch.
4. Refill the joints
After the pavers dry, fresh joint sand is swept in, settled and topped off, and the extra is cleared away.
5. Seal and walk it with you
When sealer is part of the job, it goes on with a sprayer and roller. The contractor then shows you the finished area and says how long to stay off it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does paver cleaning cost in Avondale?
Cleaning starts around $0.22 per square foot, going by one Northeast Florida company's listed rate. A 600 square foot driveway would begin near $132. Joint sand and repairs are often priced separately, so compare what each quote includes.
Can I clean, sand and seal my pavers?
Yes, and the order matters: clean first, refill the joints once dry, then seal. A contractor can do all three in one job. Sealing before the surface is clean and dry traps dirt and moisture under the coat.
How much to clean and seal pavers?
Plan on about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the whole job, based on what Northeast Florida companies publish. A 300 square foot patio would run near $525 to $975. Stripping old sealer or leveling sunken sections adds to that.
How much should I pay for paver sealing?
A fair quote lands inside the published $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot range for cleaning, sand and sealer together. A price well under that may leave out prep work. Ask what each number covers before you compare two bids.
Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?
Yes, if you want the color deepened and the surface easier to keep clean. Cleaning alone brings back what color is left but adds no protection, so algae can return. Sealing is the step that slows that.
Is it a good idea to pressure wash pavers?
Yes, with low pressure and fresh sand afterward. Western Interlock, a paver company, names about 1,500 PSI as the target. A harder blast scars softer pavers and empties the joints. Ask what pressure and nozzle the contractor uses.
Should pavers be cleaned before sealing?
Yes. Sealer locks in whatever is on the surface, so algae, oil and stains have to come off first. The pavers also need to dry before the coat goes on.
Why do my pavers keep turning green in Avondale?
Shade and humidity keep the surface damp, and damp is what algae needs. Duval County gets about 52 inches of rain a year, mostly from May through September. Cutting back overhanging plants and pointing sprinkler heads off the pavers cuts the dampness.
What is that white film on my pavers?
It is most likely efflorescence, a salt film that comes from the paver materials. Unilock says it is temporary and does not weaken pavers, but it can take two to three months or longer to fade. It needs to be gone before any sealer goes on.
