Planning around everyday patio use
Tell us how you use the patio and which paths must remain considered during service. Discuss preparation and return-to-use guidance for the selected materials.
For a Lewis Center hardscape, traffic, shade and existing products affect timing. A condition-based assessment is more useful than assuming every surface needs the same schedule.
Scope and choices
Compare the work that belongs in the plan
Professional cleaning
Cleaning prepares the hardscape for the next steps by addressing surface dirt and buildup. The selected method must suit the actual material and condition rather than rely on pressure alone.
Joint evaluation
Check for low, missing or deteriorated joint material. Not every joint needs identical treatment; replenish where the current condition and selected materials call for it.
Fresh joint material
The joints deserve attention alongside the visible paver surface. Discuss preparation and compatible materials as part of the proposed work rather than treating sanding as a cosmetic afterthought.
Compatible sealing
Confirm the existing finish and appropriate sealer before applying a new product. Appearance, preparation and product requirements matter; one finish should not be assumed suitable for every patio.
Care after service
Discuss when the surface can return to use and what care the selected products require. Keep the service date and product information so future assessments have a useful baseline.
Condition before treatment
Look at the joints as well as the surface
Define the result for your hardscape
Identify buildup, worn joints and areas of damaged material during assessment. Compare the preparation and selected finish with the existing products so the proposed maintenance addresses the actual surface.
Photos help start the conversation; they do not establish the previous sealer, repair needs or result your patio will achieve.
Planning and ownership
Resolve these details before work begins
Maintenance and repair are different decisions
Cleaning and sealing do not correct every problem. Identify movement, uneven surfaces, drainage concerns or damaged pavers during assessment so the recommended scope does not treat a repair issue as ordinary surface maintenance.
A condition-based maintenance rhythm
Flores’s current guidance suggests assessing many patios around a two-year interval, with timing affected by exposure, trees, traffic and existing products. Use the actual surface condition and full warranty terms when deciding when to arrange service.
After service
Keep a record for the next assessment
Record the service date, treated surface, joint material and selected finish. Photos taken afterward can provide a comparison when wear or buildup becomes noticeable. Review the existing Flores warranty page for applicable maintenance requirements, exclusions and care obligations.

Helpful answers
Lewis Center paver-maintenance questions
What should I bring to a Lewis Center assessment?
Tell us how you use the patio and which paths must remain considered during service. Discuss preparation and return-to-use guidance for the selected materials. For a Lewis Center hardscape, traffic, shade and existing products affect timing. A condition-based assessment is more useful than assuming every surface needs the same schedule.
Can you assess a patio Flores did not install?
Yes. Flores can evaluate an existing paver hardscape and discuss whether cleaning, sanding and sealing are suitable for its current condition.
Does every joint need new sand?
Not necessarily. The existing joints should be evaluated, with low, missing or deteriorated material addressed where appropriate for the selected system.
Will cleaning make an older patio look new?
Cleaning can improve appearance, but age, wear, fading, staining and paver condition affect the result. The assessment should set expectations for the actual surface.
Will sealing prevent every weed?
No. Organic material and seeds can still accumulate. Joint maintenance and routine care can help the hardscape remain better maintained, but no permanent weed-free result is promised.
How often should I arrange maintenance?
The existing Flores guidance recommends considering assessment around every two years for many patios. Actual timing depends on exposure, use, joint condition and the previous finish; review applicable warranty terms.
