Outdoor spaces like driveways, walkways, patios, and pool decks add beauty and value to your home. But over time, exposure to the elements, foot traffic, and everyday use can make your pavers look dull, stained, or weathered. The good news? With expert paver cleaning and sealing, you can restore their original beauty and protect them for years to come.
At Pavers by Silva, we specialize in transforming tired, dirty pavers into clean, vibrant surfaces that look like new. Whether you’re dealing with oil stains, weeds, moss, or faded color, our team knows exactly how to bring your hardscaping back to life.
What Is Paver Cleaning and Sealing?
Paver cleaning and sealing is the process of deep cleaning your brick, concrete, or stone pavers and applying a protective sealant to preserve their appearance and strength. It’s a two-step service that delivers both cosmetic and structural benefits for your outdoor surfaces.
Step 1: Cleaning the Pavers
First, we use high-pressure washing tools and professional-grade cleaners to remove:
- Dirt and grime
- Algae, moss, and mildew
- Weeds growing between joints
- Oil and food stains
- Efflorescence (white powdery residue)
This step makes your pavers look fresh and clean, but more importantly, it preps the surface for sealing.
Step 2: Sealing the Pavers
Once the surface is completely dry, we apply a high-quality sealant that penetrates the pavers and creates a long-lasting protective layer. The sealant helps:
- Prevent stains from oil, food, and water
- Stop weed growth and moss buildup
- Reduce color fading caused by sun exposure
- Lock in joint sand to stabilize the surface
- Enhance the natural color of the pavers
Depending on your preference, the sealant can leave a natural matte look or a glossy, wet-look finish.
Why Paver Cleaning and Sealing Matters?
Many homeowners overlook the importance of regular paver cleaning and sealing, but it’s a crucial part of maintaining your investment. Here’s why it matters:
1. Increases Longevity
Pavers are built to last, but dirt, moisture, and UV rays can wear them down over time. Sealing protects them from these elements, preventing cracks, fading, and deterioration.
2. Enhances Appearance
Nothing refreshes your outdoor space like a clean, well-sealed paver surface. The colors pop, the texture looks fresh, and the overall effect is like a mini-renovation for your yard.
3. Saves Money Long-Term
Replacing pavers can be expensive. Regular cleaning and sealing helps avoid costly repairs or replacements by keeping your pavers in excellent shape.
4. Makes Maintenance Easier
Sealed pavers are easier to clean. Spills don’t soak in as quickly, weeds don’t grow between joints as easily, and sweeping or rinsing takes less effort.
When Should You Clean and Seal Your Pavers?
Ideally, your pavers should be cleaned and sealed:
- After installation, once the pavers have settled
- Before or after the rainy season to avoid moisture issues
- When pavers start to look faded or dirty despite regular cleaning
If your pavers are already several years old and have never been sealed, it’s not too late. We can still restore their appearance and offer long-term protection.
