Paver Sealing Sawgrass Is Proud to Serve Northeast Florida
What is included in a paver sealing job?
A typical job has four parts: a walk-through, the wash, new joint sand and the sealer. The wash usually takes the most time. To go over them for your surface, call (904) 606-1450.
Walk-through
Photos, square footage, sunken spots, old sealer and standing water all get noted before a price is set.
Wash and stain treatment
Algae, rust and oil each get a cleaner made for that stain, then a low pressure wash.
Joint sand
Sand goes back into the joints so the pavers stay locked together and weeds have less room.
Sealer coat
The product goes on a dry surface in one session, at the coverage the maker lists.
How can I tell my pavers need sealing?
Look for color that has turned chalky, joints sitting below the paver edges, sand spread across the drive after a storm and water that soaks in instead of beading. Catching low joints early and adding sand costs far less than relaying pavers that have already moved. For a quick opinion, call (904) 606-1450.
Which type of paver sealer holds up in Florida?
Every home is a little different, so ask which sealer the contractor plans to use and the reason for it. A film-forming sealer builds a coat on top and gives the wet look, while a penetrating sealer soaks in, costs less and wears out sooner, according to a published price guide. To compare options for your pavers, call (904) 606-1450.
That guide favors penetrating sealers around pools, because a surface film can trap moisture and get slippery. Ask for the product data sheet, not only the name, when you request your free estimate.
Wet look or matte: which finish should I pick?
Pick a wet look for dark, rich color and some shine, or matte to stay close to how the pavers looked new. Unilock says high gloss can be slippery when wet, so matte is the safer pick near a pool. In a community with an association, ask whether a gloss finish needs approval. To see samples of both, request your free estimate.
How often should pavers be resealed in Sawgrass?
Expect two to five years between coats. A Northeast Florida washing company calls two to three years typical, and a published price guide puts driveways and pool decks near three and shaded patios near five. Strong sun, pool chlorine and storms cut that time down. Water that soaks in rather than beading up tells you the coat has worn out. To have yours checked, call (904) 606-1450.
Does more sealer mean longer protection?
No. Unilock advises sealing in one session, because layering over the same spot can leave uneven gloss. A thin, even coat at the maker's coverage does the job. Solvent-based products cover about 80 to 120 square feet per gallon and water-based ones about 100 to 150. Be wary of a quote that sells extra coats as extra protection, and ask about it before you request your free estimate.
When is the right time to seal pavers?
The forecast matters more than the calendar. Unilock asks for 24 to 48 hours of clear skies before sealing, up to 48 hours of dry weather after and temperatures between 50 and 90 degrees, with 75 ideal. Pavers that are too hot can stain or peel early, and the sprinklers have to stay off. Call (904) 606-1450 when you want a date chosen around the weather.
New pavers need patience too. Unilock says to wait 60 to 90 days so efflorescence can clear, and it can take up to a year. A Northeast Florida washing company adds that fall is the driest season to seal. If your pavers went in recently, say so when you request your free estimate.
Can sealing fix pavers that have sunk?
No. Sealer cannot raise a low paver or close a gap. Pavers that rock under a car or hold a puddle after rain need their base fixed first. On low ground like Sawgrass, ask whether leveling is in the price or quoted apart when you request your free estimate.
Which areas around a Sawgrass home can be sealed?
A coat can go on a driveway, pool deck, patio or walkway. Wear is not the same from one area to the next, so the plan should shift with it. Start with the area you care about most and request your free estimate.
Driveways
Tires, oil drips and hours of direct sun all land on the driveway first. Sealing the driveway keeps the color even and the joints full under a parked car.
Pool decks and lanais
Pool decks get splash water, chlorine and bare feet. Sealing a pool deck should leave it draining well and not slick.
Patios and courtyards
A shaded patio stays damp and grows algae early. Sealing a patio focuses on lifting the green and slowing its return.
Walkways and entries
Entry walks sit next to mulch, soil and sprinkler heads, so they stain easily. Sealing the front walk is a small job every guest notices.
What causes paver trouble around Sawgrass?
Five problems come up again and again in this part of the county: sun fading, algae, lost sand, sprinkler stains and oak stains. Each is cheaper to handle early. Call (904) 606-1450 and a contractor can tell you which of these your pavers have.
1. Sun fading on open driveways
An open driveway sits in sun for most of the day, so bare pavers turn chalky there before anywhere else. A Northeast Florida washing company says full sun can push a reseal closer to every two years.
2. Algae on damp, shaded sides
That company says moisture collects on the north and east sides of a house in this humid climate. Those walks and patio corners turn green first, and a slick surface is a fall risk.
3. Sand washed out by summer storms
Afternoon storms wash sand out of the joints. Once the joints run low, pavers start to shift and weeds take root, so sand goes back in before any sealer.
4. Orange marks from sprinklers
Iron in well water or reclaimed irrigation leaves orange stains. The same company says those need a rust treatment, because more pressure does not lift them.
5. Brown tea-colored oak stains
Oak tannin leaves brown water stains on pavers. A coat of sealer helps keep next season's stain from setting in.
What does paver sealing cost in Sawgrass?
Expect about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot in Sawgrass for the clean, sand and seal together. Size moves the rate. A published price guide lists $2.50 to $3.25 under 300 square feet and $1.50 to $2.50 for an 800 to 1,200 square foot driveway. Stripping failed sealer adds $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot, and brick or travertine can run 15 to 30 percent more. For a number written for your home, request your free estimate.
That guide warns that bids under $1 per square foot usually mean prep is skipped. When a quote seems too low, ask which steps were left out. Holding a quote already? Call (904) 606-1450 and compare it with these ranges.
Wash only? The paver cleaning and joint sand guide covers that job, the places covered page shows where it applies, and the Sawgrass home page has more.
| Paved area | Typical example | Clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 300 sq ft | Small patio or walkway | $525 to $975 |
| 600 sq ft | Two car driveway | $1,050 to $1,950 |
| 1,000 sq ft | Large driveway or pool deck | $1,750 to $3,250 |
| 1,500 sq ft | Driveway plus pool deck | $2,625 to $4,875 |
Math based on the $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot that Northeast Florida paver companies publish. Your contractor sets the actual price after seeing the surface. Repairs, leveling and stripping failed sealer are usually extra.

How do pavers look after sealing in Sawgrass?
How does the paver sealing process work from start to finish?
The paver sealing process runs in five steps, from the first look to the final walk-through. To get on the schedule, call (904) 606-1450.
1. Look it over
The contractor takes photos, measures the area for the sealing quote and notes sunken spots, old sealer, stains and where water collects.
2. Protect and treat
Plants, outlets and windows get covered, and the sprinklers go off. Algae, rust and oil stains each get a cleaner matched to that stain.
3. Wash the surface
A surface cleaner washes the pavers at low pressure. Unilock, a paver maker, warns that wrong settings blow sand out of the joints.
4. Refill the joints
Once the pavers are dry, fresh sand is swept in and settled so the pavers lock together again.
5. Seal and walk it with you
When sealer is included, it goes on a dry surface by sprayer, foam roller or short pile roller. The contractor then shows you the finished area and how long to stay off it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?
Usually yes. Sun fades the color, storms wash out joint sand and humidity feeds algae, and a sealer coat slows all three. What you give up is a repeat job every few years. Unilock, a paver maker, suggests resealing every three to five years.
How long do paver sealers last?
Expect two to five years. A Northeast Florida washing company calls two to three years typical, and Unilock says three to five. Full sun, pool chlorine and daily car traffic push a coat toward the short end, and shaded walks last longer.
What is the average cost to seal pavers in Florida?
Around Sawgrass, a Northeast Florida washing company publishes $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. For a 600 square foot driveway that works out to about $1,050 to $1,950. Stripping failed sealer and repairs are usually extra.
How much does it cost to re-sand and seal pavers?
The $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot range already counts new sand. If sand is the only job, a published price guide lists $0.25 to $0.75 per square foot. Make sure the joint sand shows up as a line in your quote.
Is it better to spray or roll paver sealer?
Either works, and many contractors use both. Unilock lists a garden sprayer with an adjustable nozzle, a foam roller or a short pile roller. A dry roller pass afterward takes up extra sealer so streaks and drip marks do not dry in.
Can I clean, sand and seal my pavers?
You can, but the order matters. Clean first, let the pavers dry, refill the joints, then seal in one session. A published price guide says do-it-yourself jobs often fail within 12 to 18 months, so ask a contractor what that would save you.
How much does it cost to seal a pool deck in Sawgrass?
A published price guide lists pool decks at $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot, or $900 to $3,000 for 500 to 1,000 square feet. That guide favors penetrating sealers around a pool because a surface film can get slippery. Ask about traction when you compare finishes.
How long does a paver sealing job take in Sawgrass?
A Northeast Florida washing company says pavers with empty joints or failed sealer make a two-day restoration, since the surface must dry between steps. Unilock asks for 24 hours of dry weather after sealing and up to 48 for a full cure. Summer storms can move the date.
