Paver Sealing in
Jacksonville, FL

IT'S MORE THAN JUST CURB APPEAL

Why Do Your Pavers
Look Faded and Worn?

If your pavers have lost their color, feel rough to the touch, or have weeds pushing through the joints, you are not imagining it. Jacksonville’s climate is one of the harshest environments for paver surfaces. The combination of intense UV rays, heavy rainfall, and constant humidity breaks down the surface layer of your pavers faster than most homeowners realize.

Without proper sealing, the sand between your paver joints washes out over time. This leads to shifting, uneven surfaces, and creates the perfect conditions for weed growth and ant colonies. You may also notice a white, chalky film on the surface called efflorescence, which is a sign of moisture damage from within the paver itself.

At Hydro Wash 360, we use SEK bonding sand paired with a two coat flood sealer system designed specifically for Florida’s conditions. We exclusively use Surfacelogix cleaning products to prep your pavers before any sealer is applied. No bleach. No shortcuts. No big box store materials.

The Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) recommends routine cleaning and sealing to maintain the structural integrity and appearance of paver systems. Professional paver sealing in Jacksonville FL locks in the joint sand, restores color, and creates a protective barrier that keeps your pavers looking and performing their best for years.

Can I Seal My Pavers Myself or Should I Hire a Professional?

It is possible to seal your pavers on your own. But without the right equipment, products, and preparation, a DIY seal job can end up costing you more in the long run. Here is how the two approaches compare.

DIY and Big Box Store Sealers
(Why They Fail)

A lot of homeowners try to save money by picking up a paver sealer from a hardware store and doing it themselves. The problem is those products are not commercial grade. They tend to peel, turn white, and trap moisture underneath the surface. On top of that, most DIY jobs use cheap polymeric sand that does not fully cure in Florida’s humidity. It becomes brittle, breaks down, and crumbles faster than a properly installed bonding sand system. Many also use bleach to clean their pavers before sealing, which can weaken joint material, damage surfaces, and create inconsistent results. Without proper cleaning, sand replacement, and surface preparation, even the best seale

Professional Paver Sealing
(The Right Way)

Professional paver sealing starts long before the sealer ever touches the surface. Our team begins by using Surfacelogix cleaning products and systems to properly clean, prep, and neutralize your pavers. We never use bleach. We then allow proper dry time and replace the joint sand with SEK bonding sand, which comes in multiple color options to match your pavers. After the sand is installed, we apply a true flood coat of commercial grade sealer that penetrates deep into the joints and allows the bonding sand to harden correctly. Once that first coat cures, we come back with a second coat to seal and protect the surface. That two coat system is what gives you stronger joints, better stability, and long lasting durability in Florida’s climate.

Why We Use SEK Bonding Sand Instead of Polymeric Sand

If you have looked into paver sealing before, you have probably come across the term polymeric sand. It is one of the most commonly used joint materials in the industry. But here in Florida, polymeric sand paired with a topical sealer is usually not the right choice. Our humidity, heavy rain cycles, and intense UV exposure prevent it from curing the way it should. Over time it becomes brittle, breaks down, and crumbles out of the joints far sooner than it should.

That is why Hydro Wash 360 uses SEK bonding sand on every paver sealing job we do. SEK bonding sand comes in multiple color options so we can properly match your existing pavers. It is a stronger, more reliable joint material that is built to hold up in Florida’s climate when paired with the right sealer and the right process.

Once the SEK bonding sand is installed, we apply a true flood coat of commercial grade sealer to fully saturate the joints. That first coat penetrates deep into the bonding sand and allows it to harden correctly within the joint structure. After that coat cures, we come back with a second coat to seal and protect the entire surface. That two coat approach is what creates stronger joints, better stability, and long term durability that polymeric sand simply cannot match in this climate.

The cleaning and prep work leading up to that process matters just as much. We are certified and exclusively use Surfacelogix products and cleaning systems to prepare your pavers before any sand or sealer is applied. We do not use bleach. It might make things look clean for a few weeks, but it weakens joint material, damages paver surfaces, and leads to inconsistent results. Surfacelogix products are designed specifically for professional paver restoration and allow us to clean, prep, and neutralize the surface properly before sealing.

Every step of our process is intentional. The materials are professional grade. And the result is a paver surface that actually holds up in Jacksonville’s climate for years to come.

What Types of Surfaces Can Be Sealed?

Different surfaces require different products and techniques. Our team evaluates your specific paver material and selects the right sealer, SEK bonding sand color, and application method to match. Here is what that looks like for each surface type.

Brick Pavers

Brick pavers are one of the most common surfaces across Jacksonville driveways, patios, and walkways. Over time they fade, grow weeds between joints, and collect algae. Our Surfacelogix cleaning process followed by SEK bonding sand and a two coat flood sealer system restores their original color and locks in the joints to prevent shifting, weed growth, and erosion.

Concrete Pavers

Concrete pavers are durable but highly porous. Without sealing, they absorb stains from oil, grease, and organic debris quickly. Our two coat flood sealer system penetrates the surface and creates a protective barrier that repels stains and prevents UV fading while giving you the option of a matte or wet look finish.

Travertine Pavers

Travertine is a premium natural stone commonly used around pools and outdoor living areas. It requires a gentler approach because harsh chemicals can etch the surface. Our team uses Surfacelogix products to safely clean and prep the stone, then applies a travertine safe sealer that enhances its natural beauty without altering its texture or causing discoloration.

Pool Deck Pavers

Pool decks take a beating from constant water exposure, chlorine, and foot traffic. Unsealed pool deck pavers become slippery, faded, and prone to algae buildup. Our full cleaning and two coat sealing process protects against all of that while maintaining a slip resistant finish that keeps your pool area safe and looking clean.

How Does Professional Paver Sealing Work?

Every paver sealing job we do follows the same detailed process. No steps skipped. No corners cut.
Here is exactly what happens from the moment you reach out to the moment we leave your property.

1. Schedule a Free Paver Assessment

Give us a call or fill out the form on this page. We will come out to your property, take a look at your pavers, and assess the condition of the surface, joints, and any previous sealer. From there, we put together a clear quote so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

2. Deep Clean the Surface

Before any sealer is applied, your pavers need to be completely clean. We are certified and exclusively use Surfacelogix products and cleaning systems to remove all dirt, algae, mold, stains, and any old sealer that may be failing. We do not use bleach like a lot of competitors. Bleach might look good for a few weeks but it can weaken joint material, damage surfaces, and create inconsistent results. Surfacelogix products are designed specifically for professional paver restoration and allow us to clean, prep, and neutralize properly before sealing.

3. Replace the Joint Sand

Once the pavers are clean and dry, we replace the joint sand with SEK bonding sand, which comes in multiple color options to properly match your pavers. We do not use white play sand or cheap store bought polymeric sand from a big box store. SEK bonding sand locks your pavers in place, prevents weeds from growing through the joints, and keeps ants from building colonies between your pavers.

4. Apply the Sealer

After full preparation, our team applies a true flood coat of commercial grade sealer that penetrates deep into the SEK bonding sand and allows it to harden correctly within the joint structure. Once that first coat cures, we come back with a second coat to seal and protect the surface. You choose the finish, whether that is a natural matte look or a wet look gloss. That two coat system is what gives you stronger joints, better stability, and long lasting protection against UV rays, moisture, stains, and erosion in Florida's climate.

5. Final Walkthrough and Dry Time

Once the sealer is applied, we do a full walkthrough of the area with you to make sure everything looks right. We will go over dry times and aftercare so you know exactly when the surface is ready for foot and vehicle traffic. The job is not done until you are completely satisfied.

Our process always starts with a full Surfacelogix cleaning system and joint cleanout before any product touches your surface. We never use bleach. Proper prep is the difference between a seal job that lasts and one that peels within months.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does paver sealing last?

Paver sealing typically lasts 3 to 5 years depending on foot traffic, sun exposure, and weather conditions. Our two coat flood sealer system paired with SEK bonding sand is designed to maximize that lifespan even in Florida’s harsh climate. Driveways and high traffic areas may need resealing closer to the 3 year mark.

Is paver sealing worth it?

Yes. Unsealed pavers fade, shift, grow weeds, and collect algae quickly in Jacksonville’s climate. Professional sealing locks in the joint sand, restores color, and creates a protective barrier against UV damage, moisture, and stains. It costs far less than replacing damaged pavers and keeps your property looking its best for years.

How long after sealing pavers can you walk on them?

You can typically walk on sealed pavers within 24 hours. Vehicle traffic usually requires 48 to 72 hours depending on the product and weather conditions. Our team goes over exact dry times during the final walkthrough so you know when your surface is ready.

Does paver sealing prevent weeds?

Yes. Weeds grow when joint sand washes out and creates gaps between pavers. Our process replaces that sand with SEK bonding sand and locks it in with a two coat flood sealer. This eliminates the gaps weeds need to take root and keeps your joints tight and stable.

What is the best time of year to seal pavers?

The best time to seal pavers in Jacksonville is during the drier months, typically late fall through early spring. Lower humidity and less rain allow the sealer to cure properly. However, our commercial grade products and two coat system are designed to perform in Florida’s climate year round.

Do you have to pressure wash pavers before sealing?

Yes. Sealing over dirty pavers traps in dirt, algae, and stains and causes the sealer to fail. We exclusively use Surfacelogix cleaning products and systems to properly clean, prep, and neutralize your pavers before sealing. We never use bleach, which can weaken joint material and damage surfaces.

What does paver sealing protect against?

Professional paver sealing protects against UV fading, moisture damage, oil and grease stains, weed growth, ant colonies, algae buildup, and joint sand erosion. Our two coat flood sealer system creates a durable barrier that keeps your pavers looking and performing their best in Florida’s heat, humidity, and heavy rain.

Can you seal old pavers?

Yes. Old pavers can absolutely be sealed as long as they are properly cleaned and prepped first. Our team removes all dirt, algae, stains, and any old failing sealer using Surfacelogix products, replaces the joint sand with SEK bonding sand, and applies a fresh two coat sealer to restore and protect the surface.

What is the difference between wet look and matte paver sealer?

Wet look sealer gives your pavers a glossy, rich finish that enhances color depth. Matte sealer provides protection without changing the natural appearance of the stone. Both options use the same commercial grade formula and two coat application. Our team helps you choose the right finish for your property.

Does paver sealing stop ants?

Yes. Ants build colonies in the gaps between pavers when joint sand washes out or breaks down. Our SEK bonding sand fills those joints completely, and our two coat flood sealer locks it all in place. This eliminates the entry points ants use to nest between your pavers.
