Cleaning your pavers is the first step to restoring your home’s curb appeal—but sealing them is what protects that fresh look for the long haul. At Kelly’s Pressure Cleaning, we provide professional paver cleaning and sealing services for homeowners throughout Lakeland, Bartow, Mulberry, Winter Haven, Auburndale, and Plant City, helping protect your investment from Florida’s harsh weather, weeds, and stains.
If you’re wondering whether sealing is really necessary after a good cleaning, here’s why the answer is almost always yes.
Preserves Color and Appearance
Unsealed pavers fade over time due to constant sun exposure, rain, and UV rays. Sealing adds a protective layer that locks in the rich color of your pavers, making them look newer for longer. For many homeowners, sealing brings out the natural tone of the stone or brick, giving it a vibrant, finished look.
Prevents Weed Growth and Sand Loss
Florida’s climate creates ideal conditions for weeds and grass to sprout between paver joints. Sealing the surface helps stabilize the sand in those joints and reduces moisture penetration—making it much harder for weeds or moss to grow. It also prevents the need to constantly refill or recompact joint sand.
Reduces Stains from Oil, Rust, and Dirt
Driveways, patios, and pool decks are exposed to oils, spills, rust, and everyday dirt. Sealing acts as a barrier that keeps contaminants on the surface, making them easier to clean. Without a sealer, those materials absorb into the paver and become permanent stains.
Protects Against Water Intrusion and Erosion
Water can wear down pavers from within, especially during Florida’s heavy rainstorms. Sealing provides a waterproof layer that prevents erosion and reduces the effects of the freeze-thaw cycle, which can cause pavers to crack, shift, or settle unevenly over time.
Improves Safety and Surface Traction
Mold, algae, and mildew make unsealed pavers slippery—especially around pools or shaded patios. Many sealers include additives that improve traction, making your surfaces safer for walking barefoot or with wet shoes.
Easier Maintenance Year-Round
Once your pavers are sealed, keeping them clean is simple. Dirt and debris sit on top of the surface, rather than seeping in. That means faster rinsing, less scrubbing, and fewer professional cleanings needed in the long run.
How Often Should You Reseal?
Most paver sealers last between 2 to 4 years, depending on traffic, weather, and product type. We recommend resealing every few years to maintain maximum protection and appearance.
At Kelly’s Pressure Cleaning, we offer both:
-
Natural-look penetrating sealers
-
Wet-look film-forming sealers
We help you choose the right finish for your style and surface type.
