We do paver sealing in deland

     To clean the paver area, we begin using a com­mer­cial grade sur­face cleaner that has a rotat­ing bar with 2 spray tips. This oper­ates at 4000 psi and will thor­oughly scrub the pavers and paver joints with­out caus­ing dam­age. We then “cross wash” the paver area again, so it gets “dou­ble scrubbed” to ensure they’re clean, and to help remove algae buildup or dirty sand between the paver joints.

     We then use a wand to pres­sure wash around all edges, cor­ners, columns, etc. Pool areas also get detailed around the pool screen, pool cop­ing, hot tubs, and other water fea­tures. The wand helps remove paint spots, mor­tar, grease, and more from the sur­face of your pavers.

     After the wash­ing process, we thoroughly rinse all dirt and debris from the paver area. Flushing the mold and algae from the paver joints is a key part of the rins­ing process. Once the pavers are rinsed, it’s time to re-​sand all the paver joints.

     Once rinsed, we apply a pro­pri­etary “paver safe” mix­ture to inhibit weed growth in the grooves in between the pavers.

      Re-sand­ing the paver joints is very impor­tant, as the sand pro­vides the sta­bil­ity of your entire paver sys­tem. We use a coarse-​grained masonry sand and fill to within approx­i­mately 1/​8″ of the paver edge using the “wet sand­ing” method. Wet sand­ing is bet­ter than sweep­ing because the wet sand set­tles to the low­est point and allows us to fill them prop­erly and rinse away the excess.

     Once the sand­ing of the paver joints is com­plete, we use a blower to blow any excess sand off the pavers before apply­ing the sealer.

     Next I detail all the stones and the joints to make sure the sand job is below the edges of the pavers ensuring the best and most professionally done sanding job in the industry. 

     The first coat of sealer to be applied is called a “flood coat”. The paver joints and sur­face of the pavers are actu­ally flooded with sealer to ensure the sand absorbs the sealer, and that the paver itself gets soaked to cre­ate the bar­rier between your pavers and the ele­ments. Get­ting the sealer deep into the paver helps bring out the true col­ors of your paver sys­tem, and keep them there.

     A sec­ond coat, or “top coat” is also applied to help form the pro­tec­tive bar­rier your pavers need, and to deliver more sealer to the paver joints. The 2nd coat adds another layer of pro­tec­tion helps give your paver sys­tem a hint of shine with­out becom­ing slip­pery or too shiny. After the sealer fully cures, the sand will be fully locked into the paver joints, col­ors enhanced, and long-​lasting pro­tec­tion against the elements.

     After the sealer is applied, we use a back­pack blower to help dis­perse excess sealer and to help recoat the paver sur­face. We make sure to wipe down pool cage, slid­ing doors, track drains, etc. For dri­ve­ways, we make sure that all dirt and debris is rinsed from side­walks and curb areas.
