Living in Florida means sunshine, salty air, and beautiful outdoor spaces—but it also means your pavers take a beating year-round. Whether it’s your patio, walkway, driveway, or pool deck, pavers are exposed to intense heat, rain, humidity, and plant growth. That’s why regular paver cleaning and sealing is a must if you want to keep your home looking great and avoid expensive repairs down the road.
Let’s break down why Florida homeowners should clean and seal their pavers and how to do it right.
The Benefits of Cleaning and Sealing Your Pavers
1. Keep Your Pavers Looking Brand New
Over time, unsealed pavers fade, stain, and collect grime. Cleaning them regularly removes dirt, mold, and algae that can dull their color. Sealing adds a protective layer that brings out their natural beauty and keeps them looking fresh longer.
2. Prevent Damage From Moisture and UV Rays
Florida’s humidity and UV exposure can break down unprotected pavers. Sealing prevents water from soaking into the material and helps block out sun damage that causes fading and cracking.
3. Stop Weeds and Moss in Their Tracks
You know how quickly weeds can pop up between your pavers. Sealing the joints helps lock in the sand, making it harder for weeds and moss to grow.
4. Save Money on Repairs
Stains, shifting, and erosion can lead to costly repairs or replacements. Regular cleaning and sealing help preserve your investment by keeping everything in place and protected.
How Often Should Florida Homeowners Clean and Seal Their Pavers?
We recommend cleaning your pavers at least once a year, especially in Florida’s humid climate. If you notice a lot of mildew, moss, or oil stains, twice a year may be even better. Sealing should be done every 2–3 years, depending on the type of pavers and how much wear and tear they go through.
Step-by-Step: How to Properly Clean and Seal Pavers on your own
Step #1: Remove All Obstructions
Clear out any furniture, planters, or décor. Protect nearby landscaping with a tarp to avoid damage from cleaners.
Step #2: Clear Out Moss and Weeds
Use a stiff brush to remove moss or pull out weeds from between the joints. If they won’t budge, apply a weed killer and wait two weeks before sealing.
Step #3: Saturate the Paver Surface
Hose down the entire area to prevent the pavers from absorbing cleaning solution too quickly.
Step #4: Mix a Mild Cleaning Solution and Apply
Use warm water and a gentle degreaser detergent. Scrub with a stiff broom in small areas to lift dirt and stains.
Step #5: Rinse Everything Clean
Use a garden hose or power washer to rinse off the solution and any remaining grime.
Step #6: Let It Dry, Then Re-Sand the Pavers
Once dry, sweep polymeric sand into the joints. Mist with water to help the sand settle in.
Step #7: Apply Sealer to the Edges First
Use a small brush to seal tight areas and edges before using a roller on the main surface.
Step #8: Apply Two Coats of Sealer
Roll on the sealer in sections to avoid getting stuck in a corner. Let the first coat dry before adding the second.
Step #9: Let It Cure, Then Replace Furniture
Give it at least 24 hours to dry completely before moving anything back.

FAQs About Paver Cleaning
How often should I clean my pavers?
Once a year is great, but in Florida, twice a year helps fight off the humidity and prevent mildew or stains.
Is pressure washing safe for pavers?
Yes—but only when done correctly. Too much pressure can damage the surface. We recommend using a pressure washer with a surface cleaner attachment for the best results.
Can I clean my pavers with vinegar?
A vinegar and water mix can help remove some stains, but don’t use it too often—it can weaken concrete pavers over time.
How do I remove stains from my pavers?
Oil, rust, paint, and mold all require different solutions. We recommend using mild cleaners, degreasers, or professional-grade solutions depending on the stain.
What does sealing actually do?
Sealing protects your pavers from UV damage, stains, moisture, and weed growth. It also enhances their color and helps the sand between the joints stay put.
