Paver Cleaning, Sanding & Sealing
PROTECT WHAT YOU'VE BUILT
A Great Patio Still Needs Maintenance
Pavers are durable, but they're not maintenance-free. Dirt builds up, joint sand can deteriorate, weeds may begin appearing between pavers and the surface can lose some of the clean, finished appearance it had when it was first installed.
Professional cleaning, re-sanding and sealing gives you an opportunity to refresh the surface while addressing the joints that help keep individual pavers looking neat and properly separated.
For many patios, we recommend considering this service approximately every two years. Actual timing can vary depending on shade, trees, traffic, weather exposure and the condition of the existing sealer and joint sand.
THE COMPLETE REFRESH
Cleaning Is Only One Part of the Process
A proper paver-maintenance service looks at the surface, the joints and the protective finish rather than simply blasting dirt off the patio.
02
Joint Evaluation
We inspect the joints and identify areas where sand has washed out, deteriorated or no longer adequately fills the spaces between pavers.
03
Fresh Joint Sand
Joint material is replenished where appropriate to restore cleaner, more complete joints and support the finished appearance of the hardscape.
04
Professional Sealing
An appropriate sealer is applied to help protect the surface and make routine cleaning and maintenance easier going forward.
A GOOD MAINTENANCE RHYTHM
Consider Cleaning & Sealing About Every Two Years
There isn't a universal schedule for every patio, but approximately every two years is a good time to inspect how the pavers, joints and existing sealer are performing—especially in Central Ohio.
✓
Ohio Weather Is Hard on Outdoor Surfaces
Seasonal moisture, temperature changes and repeated freeze-thaw cycles put exterior hardscapes through significant year-round exposure.
✓
Joint Sand Doesn't Last Forever
Rain, cleaning, traffic and normal weathering can gradually reduce the material between individual pavers.
✓
Sealer Wears Over Time
Exposure and traffic gradually reduce the effectiveness and appearance of previously applied sealer.
✓
Maintenance Is Easier Before Problems Build Up
Regular attention can help keep the patio cleaner and better maintained instead of waiting until the surface and joints are visibly neglected.
IS YOUR PATIO DUE?
Signs It May Be Time to Clean, Sand & Seal
You don't have to wait for the patio to look terrible. These are some of the common signs that it's worth having the surface evaluated.
Faded or Dull Appearance
The pavers no longer have the clean, finished appearance they had when the patio was newer or last maintained.
Missing Joint Sand
Some joints appear low, empty or inconsistent compared with the surrounding areas.
Weeds or Organic Growth
Weeds, moss or other organic material are becoming more noticeable in joints or shaded areas.
It's Been a Few Years
If you can't remember the last time your patio was professionally maintained, it's worth having it inspected.

WHAT A REFRESH CAN DO
Give an Existing Patio New Life
The goal isn't to make an older patio pretend to be brand new. It's to clean away years of buildup, restore the joints where needed and give the hardscape a cleaner, more cared-for appearance.
PROFESSIONAL CLEANING
Remove Years of Surface Buildup
Professional cleaning can make a dramatic visual difference when dirt and environmental buildup have accumulated over time.
FRESH JOINTS
Restore a Cleaner Finished Look
Replenishing worn or missing joint material helps the individual pavers look more defined and the patio more completely maintained.
FINAL SEAL
Finish the Maintenance Process
Proper sealing completes the service and provides a refreshed protective finish for the maintained hardscape.

PAVER MAINTENANCE QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my paver patio cleaned and sealed?
Approximately every two years is a good maintenance interval for many Central Ohio patios. Timing can vary based on sunlight, shade, nearby trees, traffic, weather exposure and the condition of the existing sealer.
Do I need new joint sand every time?
Not necessarily in every joint. The existing condition should be evaluated first. Areas with low, missing or deteriorated joint material may need to be replenished as part of the service.
Why seal pavers?
Sealing provides a protective finish and can make routine cleaning and maintenance easier while helping the hardscape maintain a more finished appearance.
Will cleaning make my old patio look brand new?
Cleaning can significantly improve appearance, but age, fading, staining, wear and the condition of the pavers themselves will affect the final result.
Can you clean and seal a patio that Flores didn't install?
Yes, in many cases. We first need to evaluate the existing patio and determine whether its current condition is appropriate for the service.
Does cleaning and sealing prevent all weeds?
No outdoor maintenance process can guarantee that weeds will never appear. Proper joint maintenance can help keep the patio looking cleaner, but seeds and organic material can still accumulate over time.
