No other paved spot at a home takes what a pool deck takes: splash water, chlorine, sunscreen, wet feet and a cage of screen and aluminum crowding the edges. Sealing helps the surface shed that water, slows color loss and makes the deck easier to rinse. Describe the pool and the cage when you request your free estimate, and the visit can start with your deck, not a guess.
What does sealing do for a pool deck?
Four things change when a deck is washed, sanded and sealed, and each one matters beside a pool. To hear how they apply to your deck, call (904) 606-1450.
Mildew has a harder time
Unilock, a paver maker, lists moisture and mildew resistance as a plus on pool decks and sidewalks, where water sits the longest.
Color holds longer
A sealer helps resist fading from strong sun. The contractor can choose a wet look to deepen the color or a natural finish to stay close to the original.
Spills wipe away
Sunscreen, drink rings and pool toy marks are easier to clean from a sealed surface than from bare, thirsty pavers.
Joints stay put
Sealing tightens the top of the joint sand, which gives weeds less room and keeps sand from washing into the pool.
Will a sealed pool deck get slippery?
It depends on the finish. Unilock says high gloss sealers can be slippery when wet and recommends a matte choice for traction. A penetrating matte sealer soaks in and leaves little shine, while a wet look film sits on top and can feel smooth under bare feet.
One St. Johns County paver company adds a slip-resistant additive to its pool deck coats. Whatever the product, ask the contractor to name the finish and to say how it will grip when the deck is wet. Poor application can also leave a slick surface, so the coat should go on thin and even. To ask about traction for your deck, call (904) 606-1450.
Does chlorine or a salt system hurt pavers?
Chlorine mostly shortens the life of the sealer. A Northeast Florida washing company says sun, chlorine and summer storms can push a reseal closer to every two years. That is a reason to watch the deck, not a reason to skip sealing.
Salt systems leave white crystals as splash water dries. A masonry trade association calls those crystals mostly cosmetic and says a rinse with warm fresh water often restores the look. It names acidic pool cleaners and acid spills as the bigger danger, because acid can eat into concrete and change its color for good. Keep acid products off the deck, and if a spill happens, request your free estimate so the contractor can look at it.
How is a deck sealed around a pool cage and the water?
A local paver company in St. Johns County says big screened pool decks are common here. The cage frame, posts, planters and pool equipment all sit close to the pavers, so protection comes first. Plants, fixtures and equipment get covered, and Unilock suggests a flat metal sheet along edges because sealer cannot be washed off once it lands.
The same company seals decks without draining the pool. Coping stones need thought too. Brickworks, an Australian brick maker, says pool coping should be sealed underneath as well, to guard against pool chemicals. Point out any loose coping or cracked paver when you call (904) 606-1450.
How does Sawgrass shape pool deck care?
Sawgrass sits about 3 feet above sea level between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, according to Wikipedia. Low ground can hold a puddle long after a storm, and Unilock is plain that sealing does not fix drainage or base problems. A deck that holds water needs its slope checked before any coat goes on.
Wikipedia also counts 16 neighborhoods in the TPC Sawgrass Players Club and 38 in Sawgrass Country Club, so decks here sit under many different mixes of sun, shade and screen. Ask the contractor to note the hours of direct sun on your side of the house when you request your free estimate.
What do sprinklers do to a sealed pool deck?
Unilock says to shut automatic sprinklers off near a fresh coat, because water can leave white marks and get trapped under the sealer. St. Johns County sets the watering days: in daylight saving time odd addresses water Wednesday and Saturday and even addresses Thursday and Sunday, and no one waters from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
A good plan books the job around a day your zones are not running. A washing company here also notes that iron in well or reclaimed irrigation water leaves orange marks that need a rust treatment, and sealer should wait until they are gone. Share your zone schedule when you call (904) 606-1450.
What does pool deck paver sealing cost in Sawgrass?
A Northeast Florida washing company publishes $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal, and it says stripping failed sealer costs more. A St. Johns County paver company lists $1.75 to $2.50 for the same full job and $2.75 to $3.50 when old sealer must be stripped and the deck restored. Both pages give a pool deck example, and no page prices only a pool deck, so this table is built from those published pieces.
The right column in the table below uses that second company's numbers. The first column uses the washing company's range. For a figure tied to your own measurements, request your free estimate.
| Deck size | Clean, sand and seal, wider range | Same job, one local company | Strip old sealer and restore |
|---|---|---|---|
| 600 sq ft | $1,050 to $1,950 | $1,050 to $1,500 | $1,650 to $2,100 |
| 800 sq ft | $1,400 to $2,600 | $1,400 to $2,000 | $2,200 to $2,800 |
| 1,000 sq ft | $1,750 to $3,250 | $1,750 to $2,500 | $2,750 to $3,500 |
Published rates, multiplied by the deck size. The contractor names the real price once the deck has been seen. Leveling a sunken section is extra: the same paver company lists about $8 to $20 per square foot.
When can the family swim and walk on a sealed deck again?
Unilock asks for a 24 hour dry period after sealing and up to 48 hours of dry weather to cure, and says to stay off the surface until then. A St. Johns County paver company quotes about 24 hours before foot traffic and about 48 before vehicles. Ask for your own timeline when you request your free estimate.
How often should a Sawgrass pool deck be resealed?
Expect two to five years between coats. The washing company says two to three is typical here, Unilock says three to five, and chlorine and full sun push toward the short end. Water that soaks in instead of beading, chalky color and sand missing from the joints all say the coat has thinned. To have yours looked at, call (904) 606-1450.

What do sealed pool decks look like near Sawgrass?
How does the pool deck sealing process work?
The process runs in five steps, from a look at the deck to a walk-through when the coat is down. To get on the schedule, call (904) 606-1450.
1. Look at the deck
The contractor notes the size, old sealer, stains, drainage and how the cage and coping sit.
2. Protect and treat
Plants and equipment are covered, then algae, rust or oil get a cleaner matched to the stain.
3. Wash and sand
A low pressure wash lifts the grime. Fresh joint sand goes in once the pavers are dry.
4. Apply the coat
Sealer goes on a dry deck in one session by sprayer or roller, at the maker's coverage.
5. Walk it with you
The contractor shows the finished deck and says when feet and furniture can return.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much to seal a pool deck?
Around Sawgrass, a Northeast Florida washing company publishes $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. A St. Johns County paver company puts a screened pool deck of 600 to 1,000 square feet at about $1,050 to $2,500. Stripping old sealer first costs more. For a number on your own deck, request your free estimate.
Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?
For a pool deck, usually yes. Sun fades color, chlorine and storms wear on the surface, and humidity feeds mildew. Unilock, a paver maker, lists mildew resistance as a plus on pool decks. Budget for a recoat once the first one wears thin. To see if your deck is ready, call (904) 606-1450.
How long do paver sealers last?
Plan on two to five years. A washing company here says chlorine and sun can push a coat toward the two year mark, and Unilock says three to five. A deck that soaks up water instead of beading it is ready for another coat. For a check, request your free estimate.
Why is paver sealing so expensive?
Most of the money goes into prep, not into the sealer itself. A pool deck needs a wash, stain treatment, new joint sand and a full dry before any coat goes down, and a skipped step shows up as a cloudy deck. Ask each bidder what the number includes. To get a written breakdown, call (904) 606-1450.
Will sealing make my Sawgrass pool deck slippery?
Yes, if the finish is high gloss. Unilock says high gloss sealers can be slippery when wet and calls matte the safer choice. One local paver company adds a slip-resistant additive to pool decks. Ask for the finish and the additive in writing when you request your free estimate.
Can a pool deck be sealed without draining the pool?
Yes. A St. Johns County paver company says it seals pool decks without draining the pool. The contractor covers or shields the water, plants and equipment first. Mention any pool equipment near the edge when you call (904) 606-1450.
Does a saltwater pool change how a deck is cared for?
It changes the rinse more than the sealer. A masonry trade association says salt crystals on concrete pavers are mostly cosmetic and wash off with warm fresh water, and that acid cleaners are the bigger threat. Tell the contractor which pool system you have when you request your free estimate.
Does my Sawgrass community need to approve a sealed pool deck?
Check your documents first. Florida Statute 720.3035 lets an association review only what its rules say, and a denial has to be written and name the rule. A change from matte to a glossy wet look is the sort of thing a board may ask about. To get a start date and product name for them, call (904) 606-1450.
Ready for a pool deck that looks new and rinses clean?
Call or send the short form, and a contractor answers inside 1 business day, usually long before.
