What is included in paver cleaning?
Paver cleaning includes a pre-treatment, a controlled wash and fresh joint sand once the surface dries. It is the first stage of any sealing job, and it can also stand alone. Damp, shaded areas and spots near sprinklers tend to need it first. To talk with a contractor who takes on cleaning jobs, call (904) 946-8454.
Pre-treatment
A cleaning solution goes on before the wash to loosen algae and organic stains. Plants nearby are covered or rinsed so the overspray does not reach them.
Washing
A surface cleaner works across the pavers in sections. Unilock says the spray angle and pressure matter, because too much force blows sand out of the joints.
Joint sand
Sand goes back into the joints after the pavers dry. Full joints help the pavers stay locked and give weeds less room.
Optional sealing
A coat of sealer can go on after the pavers are completely dry. The sealing guide explains what that step adds.
How can I tell my Baymeadows pavers need cleaning?
Pavers need cleaning when you see dark streaks, green growth in shaded corners, weeds in the joints or orange marks near the sprinklers. Algae matters most on walkways and pool decks, since a slick surface is a safety concern. To have yours looked at, call (904) 946-8454.
Dark or green patches
Algae and mildew settle where the air stays damp. A Jacksonville washing company says it takes the shaded north side first, which is why one end of a walkway can look worse than the other.
Orange or rust-colored marks
Those usually come from irrigation water that carries iron. They need a rust treatment, so a plain wash will not clear them.
Sand missing from the joints
Heavy summer downpours wash sand out of the seams. Once the joints run low, weeds root and the stones can start to move.
Should I clean my pavers or seal them too?
Clean them if you want the surface restored, and seal them as well if you want it protected. Cleaning alone adds no coat, so algae and stains can return on their own schedule. Sealing makes the surface easier to rinse and can deepen the color, and it becomes a repeat job every three to five years, according to Unilock. Say which result you prefer when you request your free estimate, and the contractor can plan around it.
How often should pavers be cleaned in Baymeadows?
Shaded pavers near ponds or under trees usually need a thorough cleaning about once a year, while sunny ones can wait longer. Family Handyman quotes a paver expert who says wooded, shady pavers that are swept often need a deep cleaning annually and sunny ones only every few years. To set a schedule for your lot, call (904) 946-8454.
Does more pressure mean a cleaner surface?
No. Unilock warns that the wrong pressure or nozzle can crack or erode pavers and push sand out of the joints. A better wash comes from the right cleaner and a low spray angle, followed by new sand. Ask about pressure and nozzle size before you request your free estimate.
The same goes for orange stains. A Jacksonville washing company says extra pressure makes irrigation rust worse and that it takes a rust treatment instead. Also ask where the wash water will go. Unilock notes that runoff can carry oil and other pollutants, so a careful crew rinses toward suitable drainage.
How long do pavers need to dry before they are sealed?
Longer than most people expect. Unilock says to let the area dry a bit longer than seems necessary, because leftover moisture can cloud the finish. A rainy week in a Baymeadows summer can stretch that wait. Ask how the contractor handles a forecast that turns when you request your free estimate.
What is that white film on my pavers?
A white, powdery film is most likely efflorescence, which Unilock describes as natural calcium salts. It says the film is aesthetic and temporary, and it does not weaken the stone. It must clear before any sealer goes on, and waiting two to three months, or up to a year, is the maker's advice. If you cannot tell it from old sealer, point it out when you call (904) 946-8454.
Which paver surfaces can be cleaned?
A wash works on driveways, pool decks, patios and front walks alike. Every area gathers its own sort of dirt, so the plan should fit the spot. To start with yours, request your free estimate.
Driveways
Cars, oil and unshaded sun hit the driveway before anything else. Cleaning it counts most at the turning spots, where the joints work loose.
Pool decks and lanais
Pool pavers take daily wear from splashing water, sunscreen and wet feet. Cleaning a pool deck is meant to keep its grip and never leave a slick shine.
Patios beside a pond or fairway
Patios that face water or a stand of trees stay damp longer and collect leaves and needles. Cleaning those areas takes the most scrubbing.
Front walks and entries
Entry paths sit close to beds and planters, so soil, mulch and watering drips end up on the stone. Cleaning the walk is a small job, and it is the first thing a guest steps on.
What paver problems are common around Baymeadows?
Fading, green growth, orange sprinkler stains, washed-out joint sand and failed old sealer all show up around Baymeadows. Cleaning handles some on its own, and the rest need more work. To learn which you have, call (904) 946-8454.
1. Fading in open sun
A Jacksonville paver company says sun alone can drain the color from unsealed pavers within a few summers, and it likens sealer to sunscreen. An open driveway shows it first.
2. Green growth in damp corners
A Jacksonville washing company describes Duval County as humid subtropical, with algae taking the shaded north wall first. Baymeadows adds ponds and lakes to that damp air, so shaded walkways and patios go green.
3. Orange marks from sprinklers
The same company traces orange marks on concrete and stucco to iron in well water or reclaimed irrigation, and says extra pressure only makes them worse. Marks along edges and walls need a rust treatment before any coat goes on.
4. Joint sand washing out
That company also notes that heavy summer storms carry sand away from driveways and pool decks. Once the joints run low, pavers can shift and weeds move in, so new sand goes in after the wash.
5. Cloudy or failed old sealer
A coat that has gone white, hazy or flaky has to come off first. A 2026 Jacksonville price guide puts stripping at $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot added to the sealing price.
What does paver cleaning cost in Baymeadows?
One Jacksonville paver company's price list starts paver cleaning at $0.22 per square foot. At that rate a 600 square foot driveway would start around $132, and a pool deck of 1,000 square feet around $220. Sand and repairs are often priced apart from the wash, so compare what each quote includes. For a price on your property, request your free estimate.
Planning to seal afterward? Then ask the contractor for a single price that covers both. Jacksonville companies publish $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the full clean, sand and seal. To compare the two, call (904) 946-8454.
Want the surface protected too? Read about sealing your pavers, or look at the places listed on the service areas page around paver sealing in Baymeadows.
| Paved area | Cleaning from | Clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 300 sq ft | $66 | $525 to $975 |
| 600 sq ft | $132 | $1,050 to $1,950 |
| 1,000 sq ft | $220 | $1,750 to $3,250 |
The cleaning column multiplies each area by the $0.22 per square foot that one Jacksonville paver company lists as its starting price for paver cleaning. The last column comes from the $1.75 to $3.25 range Jacksonville companies published as of November 2026.

How do pavers look after cleaning on a Baymeadows property?
How does the paver cleaning process work from start to finish?
The paver cleaning process follows clear steps, from the first look to the last walk-through. If you skip sealing, the job ends once the joints are refilled. To get on the schedule, call (904) 946-8454.
1. Walk it and measure
The contractor measures the area for the cleaning quote and notes low spots where water sits, cracked pavers, old sealer and any orange or green staining.
2. Cover and treat
Plants and light fixtures get covered, because Unilock says to protect nearby plants from overspray. Each stain then gets a cleaner matched to it, such as a rust treatment for orange marks.
3. Wash with a surface cleaner
A rotary surface cleaner washes the pavers at moderate pressure. Unilock says to hold the spray at no more than a 30 degree angle so the joint sand stays in place.
4. Refill the joints and dry
Sand is swept in once the pavers are dry, then topped off. Unilock says to let the surface dry longer than seems necessary, since leftover moisture can cloud the finish.
5. Seal and walk the job
Where sealer is part of the job, it goes on in thin, even passes from a low-pressure sprayer and is back rolled to smooth out lap marks. Afterward the contractor goes over the area with you and tells you how long to keep off it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to clean pavers?
One Jacksonville company's price list starts paver cleaning at $0.22 per square foot, so a 600 square foot driveway in Baymeadows starts near $132. Fresh joint sand is often priced apart from the wash, and a 2026 price guide says sand replacement runs $0.25 to $0.75 per square foot. Compare what each quote includes.
Is it a good idea to pressure wash pavers?
Yes, when the pressure is controlled and the joints are refilled afterward. Unilock says pressure washing clears stubborn stains fast, but the wrong pressure or nozzle can damage the surface or push sand out of the joints. Ask the contractor how they set it.
How to pressure wash pavers without removing sand?
Keep the pressure moderate and the spray low. Unilock says to hold the nozzle at a shallow angle, 30 degrees or less, so the joint material stays put. New material gets swept in afterward if the joints need it. A contractor who washes this way should also refill the joints as part of the job.
How much does it cost to clean and seal block paving?
Block paving is another name for pavers. Jacksonville companies publish about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal them, so a 300 square foot patio runs near $525 to $975. Stripping old sealer and repairs usually cost extra.
Is sealing your pavers worth it?
Often, if you want more than a one-time wash. Cleaning alone adds no protection, so algae and stains can return on their own schedule. Unilock says sealing can deepen color, keep sand joints in place and guard against moisture and stains, though the coat needs renewing every three to five years.
How can I get my pavers clean?
A local contractor treats stains with a product matched to each one, washes the surface in sections at controlled pressure and then refills the joints with sand. Orange marks get a rust treatment and green growth gets an algae cleaner. Ask which products the contractor plans to use.
Why do my pavers turn orange near the sprinklers in Baymeadows?
A Jacksonville washing company blames iron in well water or reclaimed irrigation for orange marks on concrete. It calls for a rust treatment, and extra pressure will not help. Marks that hug one edge or wall usually line up with where a sprinkler head throws water.
Why do pavers in the shade keep turning green around Baymeadows?
Shade, ponds and humid air keep the surface damp, and damp is what algae needs. The same company says algae takes shaded north walls first. Cleaning clears it, and sealing can make the surface easier to rinse afterward.
