How we wash
A careful clean,start to finish.
01
Prep & treat
We protect plants and nearby surfaces, then apply professional-grade cleaners that kill mold, mildew, algae and bacteria and loosen deep dirt.
02
Surface clean
A rotary surface cleaner gives an even, streak-free result with no wand lines, followed by detail work on edges and steps.
03
Rinse & re-sand
Everything is rinsed clean. On pavers, we replace washed-out joint sand with polymeric sand to lock them back in.
Is it time?
Signs your pavers need a wash.
Most Florida pavers and concrete benefit from a cleaning every 1 to 2 years. Shaded areas, pool decks and spots near trees or sprinklers often need it sooner.
- Black or green mildew and algae
- Dark, dingy or faded color
- Weeds or moss growing in the joints
- Rust, oil, tire or leaf stains
- Slippery pool deck or walkway
- Cloudy or peeling old sealer
Wash, sand & seal
Make the clean last longer.
Washing removes dirt, but it also pulls some sand out of the joints. That's why we follow up with polymeric sand, which hardens to lock pavers together and helps keep weeds and ants out.
For the best long-term results, add sealing after the sand cures. Sealer protects against stains, UV fading and mildew, brings out the color of the pavers, and makes future cleanings easier.
We can do all three in one visit plan: wash, re-sand and seal.
Pressure washing FAQ
Good questions to ask.
Will pressure washing damage my pavers?
Not when it's done right. Too much pressure from a wand held too close can etch pavers and blow out the joints. We use the right pressure for each surface and a surface cleaner for even results, then re-sand the joints.
Do I need to re-sand after washing?
Usually, yes. Washing removes some joint sand. Replacing it with polymeric sand keeps pavers locked in place and helps prevent weeds and shifting.
Should I seal after pressure washing?
It's the best time to. Pavers need to be clean and dry before sealing. Sealing after a wash protects the fresh, clean surface and keeps it looking better for longer.
How often should I pressure wash?
For most Florida homes, every 1 to 2 years. Pool decks, shaded areas and surfaces under trees may need it once a year.
Is it safe for my plants and pool?
Yes. We pre-wet and protect landscaping, use cleaners suited for outdoor use, and rinse thoroughly. Around pools we take care to keep runoff out of the water.
Do you clean concrete too?
Yes. We clean concrete driveways, sidewalks, curbs, garage aprons and pool decks, as well as all types of pavers.
Do I need to be home?
Not usually. We just need access to the area and an outdoor water spigot. We'll confirm details when we schedule.

Built to spec
The detailsthat matter.
Exact depths and materials depend on your soil, site and how the space will be used, and are written into your estimate.
1/8"–1/4"
Slope per foot
Enough fall to drain water away from your home without feeling sloped.
~1"
Bedding sand
Screeded flat so every paver sits level and seats evenly.
Layered
Compacted base
Crushed aggregate compacted in lifts, deeper for driveways.
1-year
Warranty
Every installation is backed by our workmanship warranty.
Our installation process
Ten steps,done right.
The same careful process on every job, from a small walkway to a full commercial entrance.
01
Free estimate & site review
We meet on site, listen to what you want and look closely at the ground you're building on.
- Measure square footage and check access for equipment
- Check existing grade, soil and where water flows today
- Choose paver style, color, pattern and borders
- Written quote with a clear, itemized scope
02
Design & layout
We mark the exact footprint before any digging starts, so there are no surprises.
- String lines or paint to show the finished shape
- Laying pattern: running bond, herringbone, basket weave and more
- Borders, soldier courses and transitions to driveways, pools and doors
- Underground utility locates requested before excavation
03
Excavation
We remove grass, roots, soil and old material down to the depth the project needs.
- Depth set by use: deeper for driveways that carry vehicles
- Soft or organic soil removed so nothing settles later
- Subgrade graded and compacted before any base goes in
04
Drainage & slope
Water is the number one reason pavers sink, so drainage is planned before the base goes down.
- Surfaces pitched about 1/8" to 1/4" per foot
- Water directed away from the house, pool and structures
- Drain lines, channel drains or catch basins where needed
05
Compacted aggregate base
A strong base is what keeps pavers flat for years.
- Geotextile fabric where the soil calls for it
- Crushed aggregate installed in layers (lifts)
- Each lift compacted with a plate compactor
- Base shaped to the final slope
06
Bedding sand
A smooth, even layer gives every paver a level bed to sit on.
- About 1" of sand, screeded flat and true
- Kept consistent so pavers seat evenly
07
Laying the pavers
Pavers are laid by hand in your chosen pattern with tight, consistent joints.
- Pattern lines checked as we go so rows stay straight
- Clean, precise saw cuts at edges, curves and obstacles
- Borders set to frame the space
08
Edge restraints
The perimeter is locked in so pavers can't spread and joints can't open.
- Concrete or PVC edge restraint around exposed edges
- Secured to the base along the full perimeter
09
Compaction & polymeric sand
The surface is compacted, then the joints are filled and locked.
- Plate compactor seats every paver into the bedding sand
- Polymeric sand swept into every joint and compacted
- Lightly misted to activate, so it hardens and resists weeds, ants and washout
10
Sealing, clean-up & walkthrough
We finish, clean up and walk the project with you.
- Sealer applied once the sand cures (if included in your scope)
- Site cleaned and debris hauled away
- Care tips for your new pavers

Installation FAQ
Installation questions.
How long does an installation take?
It depends on size and site conditions. Most residential projects take a few days. We give you a schedule with your estimate.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval?
Some cities and HOAs require approval for driveways and other hardscapes. We'll let you know what's typically needed and can provide drawings and product info for your HOA.
Can you replace my concrete driveway with pavers?
Yes. We remove the old concrete, haul it away, prepare a proper base and install new pavers.
How soon can I drive on a new paver driveway?
Usually right after compaction and sanding. If sealing is included, we'll tell you how long to stay off it while the sealer cures.
Why do some paver jobs sink?
Usually a weak or thin base, no compaction, poor drainage or missing edge restraints. Our process is built to prevent all four.
What is covered by the warranty?
Our 1-year warranty covers our workmanship, including settling or shifting caused by installation.
Paver sealing
Protect the color. Lock in the beauty.
Clean, re-sand and seal: the complete process that keeps pavers looking new and holds up to Florida sun, rain and salt.
Why seal your pavers
Look better.Last longer.
Unsealed pavers fade in the Florida sun, stain easily and lose joint sand every time it rains. Sealing protects the surface and the joints together.
Brings out the colorDeepens and enriches paver color, with a natural or wet-look finish.
Protects against fadingHelps shield pavers from UV, salt air and Florida weather.
Resists stainsMakes oil, rust, leaves and spills easier to clean before they set in.
Locks the jointsWorks with polymeric sand to hold joints firm against rain and washout.
Slows weeds & antsHardened, sealed joints leave less room for weeds and ant hills.
Easier to maintainSealed pavers stay cleaner longer and wash up faster.
The difference
Sealed vs. unsealed.
Sealer brings faded, chalky pavers back to rich, even color and gives them a protective layer that dirt and water can't soak into.
Without it, pavers slowly turn gray, joints wash out and stains soak in. Most Florida pavers should be resealed every 2 to 3 years, depending on sun, traffic and the sealer used.
Choose your finish
Naturalor wet look.
We'll show you both and help you choose based on your pavers, your style and how the area is used.
Natural look
Low-sheen, natural finish
Protects the pavers while keeping them close to their original look. A great choice for pool decks and walkways.
Wet look
Rich color, enhanced shine
Deepens color and adds a satin shine that makes driveways and entries stand out.
Our sealing process
Seven steps,no shortcuts.
Sealing is only as good as the prep underneath it. Here is exactly what's included.
01
Inspect & plan
We walk the pavers with you and check their condition before we touch anything.
- Look for sunken areas, broken pavers and failing old sealer
- Confirm finish (natural or wet look) and areas to seal
- Note any repairs needed first
02
Repairs first
Sealing locks in whatever is there, so problems get fixed before we seal.
- Lift and reset sunken or uneven areas
- Replace cracked or stained pavers where needed
03
Deep clean
A clean surface is the only way sealer bonds properly.
- Professional-grade cleaners to kill mold, mildew, algae and bacteria
- Even surface cleaning with no wand lines
- Rust, oil and tire marks treated where possible
04
Re-sand the joints
Washing pulls sand out of the joints, so we replace it.
- Polymeric sand swept into every joint
- Compacted and lightly misted to activate
- Locks pavers together and resists weeds and ants
05
Dry time
Sealer must go on dry pavers to cure clear and bond well.
- We wait until pavers and joints are dry
- Weather checked so rain doesn't interfere
06
Apply sealer
Sealer is applied evenly with a sprayer and back-rolled where needed.
- Even coats for consistent color and finish
- Edges and borders cut in by hand
- Overspray kept off walls, doors and landscaping
07
Cure & walkthrough
We tell you exactly when you can walk and drive on it again.

Sealing FAQ
Sealing questions.
How often should pavers be resealed?
Most Florida pavers do best with resealing every 2 to 3 years. High-sun, high-traffic and pool areas may need it sooner.
Can you seal old pavers?
Yes. Older pavers usually need a deep clean, any repairs and fresh polymeric sand first. Then they seal up beautifully.
What if my old sealer is peeling or cloudy?
Failing sealer has to be addressed before resealing. We'll check it and recommend the right fix during your estimate.
Will sealing make my pavers slippery?
Sealed surfaces can be smoother when wet. For pool decks and walkways we recommend finishes suited to wet, barefoot areas.
How long before I can use my pavers?
It depends on the sealer and the weather. We'll give you clear times for foot traffic and for vehicles before we leave.
Do you clean and sand before sealing?
Always. Cleaning, repairs and polymeric sand are part of every sealing job.
Paver repairs
Fix it right, from underneath.
Sunken, uneven, shifting or cracked pavers repaired the right way: by fixing the base and drainage, not just the surface.
Common problems
Signs your pavers need repair.
Small problems spread. A low spot holds water, washes out more sand and gets bigger every rainy season. Fixing it early costs less.
- Sunken or low spots that hold water
- Uneven pavers and trip hazards
- Pavers shifting or spreading at the edges
- Wide or empty joints
- Cracked, chipped or stained pavers
- Weeds and ant hills in the joints
Repair work
Problems we fix every week.
What causes it
Why paverssink and shift.
We fix the cause, not just the symptom, so the repair holds.
Poor drainageWater from downspouts, sprinklers or low spots washes out the base.
Weak or thin baseNot enough compacted aggregate under the pavers to carry the load.
Missing edge restraintWithout a locked edge, pavers spread and joints open.
Tree roots & utilitiesRoots lift pavers, and old utility trenches settle over time.
Our repair process
Six steps toa lasting repair.
The same careful approach whether it's one sunken corner or a whole driveway.
01
Find the cause
Sinking is a symptom. We find out why before we fix anything.
- Check drainage, downspouts and irrigation
- Look for washed-out sand, weak base or tree roots
- Check for missing or failed edge restraints
02
Lift the pavers
Pavers in the problem area are carefully removed and set aside to reuse.
- Numbered or laid out in order when needed
- Cracked or damaged pavers set aside for replacement
03
Correct the base
This is the step that makes the repair last.
- Remove soft or contaminated material
- Add and compact aggregate base
- Re-establish proper slope for drainage
04
Re-bed & re-lay
Fresh bedding sand is screeded, and pavers go back in pattern.
- Pattern and joint lines matched to the surrounding area
- Damaged pavers replaced with the closest match
05
Edge & compact
The area is locked in and blended into the surrounding surface.
- Edge restraints repaired or added
- Plate compactor seats the pavers flush
06
Sand & finish
Joints are filled, the area is cleaned and you can use it right away.
- Polymeric sand swept in and activated
- Optional cleaning and sealing to blend the repair

Repair FAQ
Repair questions.
Can you match my existing pavers?
Often. It depends on the maker, style and age. We bring samples or source the closest match, and reuse your original pavers wherever possible.
Will the repair look patched?
We reuse your original pavers whenever possible. Cleaning and sealing the whole area afterward helps everything blend in.
Is it better to repair or replace?
Most sinking and shifting can be repaired. If the base has failed across the whole area, we'll explain the options and costs of each.
Can I use the area right away?
Usually yes. Polymeric sand needs a short time to set, and we'll let you know before we leave.
Is my repair covered by warranty?
Yes. Our repairs are backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty.
