What is part of a paver cleaning job?
A job includes treating stains, washing with control and sweeping in new joint sand after everything dries. Some homeowners book only the cleaning, and others make it stage one of a sealing job. Shaded patios and spots near sprinkler heads usually need the most time. To line up a cleaning, call (904) 842-3269.
Stain treatment
A cleaner matched to the problem, whether algae, rust or leaf stain, goes on first and is tried on a small spot.
Controlled wash
A rotary surface cleaner passes evenly over the area without pulling the joint sand out.
Fresh joint sand
Kiln dried sand goes into every gap once the pavers are dry, then gets settled in place.
Sealer if you want it
Sealer can follow once the surface has dried completely. The sealing guide covers what that adds.
What are the signs my pavers need cleaning?
Signs include a green or black film along damp edges, weeds in the joints, orange marks near sprinkler heads and sand on the driveway after rain. Algae matters most here, since a slick walk or pool deck can cause a fall. To have yours looked at, call (904) 842-3269.
Is cleaning enough, or should I seal too?
Cleaning fixes how the pavers look today, and a sealer coat is about how long that look lasts. A cleaning alone costs less today, though algae, rust and fading come back on their own timetable. A coat makes later washes easier, and it has to be renewed every few years. Say whether you want one when you get your free estimate.
How often should Cedar Hills pavers be cleaned?
Family Handyman suggests cleaning once a year, preferably in spring, and that pace fits most homes. Shaded back patios and spots that sprinklers hit can need attention sooner than an open, sunny driveway. To plan a schedule that suits your yard, call (904) 842-3269.
Does a harder blast clean pavers better?
No. Extra force does more harm than good. A Northeast Florida washing company says more pressure makes rust stains worse, and Family Handyman warns that spraying into the joints dislodges the sand. A hard blast may also mark softer pavers. Ask what pressure and which nozzle will be used when you get your free estimate.
Technique counts as much as equipment. Held at a steady height, a rotary surface cleaner leaves an even finish, and a cleaner chosen for each stain does the heavy work. Ask where the wash water goes too, if your yard drains toward a ditch. To ask those questions now, call (904) 842-3269.
Why do my pavers turn green after summer rain?
Duval County is humid, and rain here runs about 52 inches a year, mostly from May through September. A Northeast Florida washing company says summer storms feed algae, and the film shows up first where the surface stays wet. A cleaning clears it, and fresh sand afterward keeps the pavers from shifting. To plan around the rainy months, call (904) 842-3269.
What causes the orange marks near my sprinklers?
Most often it is iron in the irrigation water. A rust treatment lifts it, and the surface gets a rinse afterward. The same company warns that more pressure makes it worse. Point out the marks when you get your free estimate.
Why are white patches showing on newer pavers?
White, chalky patches on newer pavers are usually efflorescence, salts that work their way out of the concrete. Unilock puts the fade at two to three months, sometimes up to a year, and says to wait for it to clear before sealing. Cloudy old sealer can look similar. Point the spot out when you call (904) 842-3269.
Which paved areas can be cleaned at a Cedar Hills home?
All of the paved areas around the house can be cleaned, including the driveway, pool deck, patio and front walk. Each collects a different kind of grime, so the method changes. To start with yours, get your free estimate.
Long driveways
Cedar Hills lots tend to have wide front setbacks, so driveways run long. Cleaning one that size is mostly a matter of square footage, and it keeps the color even from the street to the garage.
Back patios
Ranch homes here were drawn with sliding doors that open straight onto a patio. Cleaning that patio matters because it gets walked on daily and often sits damp.
Pool decks and lanais
Splash water, chlorine and bare feet wear on pool pavers in their own way. Cleaning a pool deck should never leave it slick.
Front walks and entries
The walk to the front door picks up soil, mulch and sprinkler runoff. Cleaning it takes little time, and every guest notices the difference.
What leaves Cedar Hills pavers dirty?
Sun fading, sand loss, green film, irrigation rust and failed old sealer lead the list. Cleaning handles several of them, and sealing or repair handles the rest. To see which of these describe your house, call (904) 842-3269.
1. Color fading in the sun
Duval County summers are hot, with a July average high near 92 degrees. Unprotected pavers go chalky first on open driveways, and a wash reveals the color that remains.
2. Sand washing out of the joints
Rain here runs about 52 inches a year, mostly from May through September. Summer downpours carry sand out of the seams, and once it goes the pavers shift and weeds move in.
3. Green film in damp corners
A Northeast Florida washing company says summer storms feed algae. Corners that stay wet, such as a patio edge near a drainage ditch, turn green first and get slick.
4. Orange marks from irrigation
Iron in sprinkler water leaves rust-colored streaks along edges and walls. More pressure only makes those marks worse, so a rust treatment comes first.
5. Old sealer that has failed
A coat that went on over dirt or damp pavers can turn cloudy or lift. It has to be dealt with before a new one goes down.
What does paver cleaning cost in Cedar Hills?
A Northeast Florida paver company lists cleaning from $0.22 a square foot, then sets the final price by square footage, paver type and joint sand. That puts the starting point near $220 for a 1,000 square foot driveway and near $352 for 1,600 square feet of driveway and patio together. For a price on your property, get your free estimate.
Planning to seal as well? Ask for one combined price. A washing company in this region quotes the whole job, wash, sand and sealer together, at $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot. To compare the two figures with a contractor, call (904) 842-3269.

| Paved area | Cleaning from | Full clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 400 sq ft | $88 | $700 to $1,300 |
| 1,000 sq ft | $220 | $1,750 to $3,250 |
| 1,600 sq ft | $352 | $2,800 to $5,200 |
Cleaning figures come from the $0.22 per square foot starting price that one Northeast Florida paver company lists. Sealing figures use the $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot range that a Northeast Florida washing company publishes. Larger areas often price lower per foot, and the quote for your home may differ.

What do cleaned pavers look like around Cedar Hills?
How does the paver cleaning process go, step by step?
If sealer is skipped, the visit finishes after step four, when the joints are full. To set a date, call (904) 842-3269.
1. Measure and inspect
The contractor measures the area for the cleaning quote and notes dips, loose pavers, old sealer and any place water stands.
2. Cover and wash
Plants, screens and the garage door get covered. A rotary surface cleaner then washes the pavers, a method Family Handyman backs over spraying into the joints.
3. Treat what is left
Algae gets a cleaner made for it, and rust gets a rust treatment, each tried on a small spot first.
4. Refill the joints
Once the surface dries, kiln dried joint sand is swept in, settled and topped off, and the extra is cleared away.
5. Seal and walk it with you
If sealer is part of the job, it goes on a dry surface with a sprayer and is leveled with a roller. The contractor then explains how long to keep feet and cars off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pressure wash brick pavers?
Yes, with care. Family Handyman starts with a wide 40 degree nozzle, tests a hidden spot and moves to a 25 degree tip only if needed. It also warns that spraying into the joints dislodges the sand, which is why fresh sand normally follows a wash.
Will Dawn dish soap clean pavers?
Dish soap cuts light grease, and Family Handyman uses it in a hand-scrub method. It does little for deep algae or rust, though, and runoff can harm plants. A contractor reaches for a cleaner made for the stain at hand.
How do I make my pavers look new again?
Clean them, refill the joints with fresh sand and consider a coat of sealer. A Northeast Florida paver company calls cleaning always the first step. Sealer then deepens the color, with a wet look or natural finish to choose from.
How much do people charge to seal pavers?
A Northeast Florida washing company publishes $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the clean, sand and seal together. Another company lists cleaning from $0.22 and sealing from $1.90. Prep and repairs move the final figure.
How can I remove stains from my pavers?
It depends on the stain. A Northeast Florida washing company says orange irrigation rust needs a rust treatment, then a rinse, and more pressure only makes it worse. Algae, oil and leaf stains each call for their own cleaner.
Why do pavers in Cedar Hills turn green?
Humidity, shade and wet corners feed algae. A Northeast Florida washing company says summer storms feed it, and Duval County gets most of its rain from May through September. A cleaning removes it, and a coat of sealer makes the next round easier.
Does cleaning my Cedar Hills driveway also remove orange sprinkler stains?
Often, but not with water alone. The orange comes from iron in irrigation water, and a rust treatment lifts it before the wash. Show the contractor where the sprinklers hit, since the marks need to be gone before any sealer goes down.
Should pavers be cleaned before sealing?
Yes. A Northeast Florida washing company warns that jobs fail when sealer goes over dirt or wet pavers. Sealer locks in whatever is underneath, so the surface has to be clean and dry first.
