4 Benefits of Cleaning & Sealing Your Pavers

It's only natural for your pavers to wear down and lose their luster over time after experiencing heavy foot traffic and exposure to the natural elements. To keep your pavers looking as good as the day they were installed, you'll want to regularly schedule a paver cleaning and sealing service. This service will help prevent weeds from growing between the cracks of your pavers, enhance the colors of the pavers to make them look brand new again, protect them from harsh weather conditions like the intense sun here in Florida, and, lastly, it will make ongoing maintenance of your hardscape easier for you. Keep reading to learn more about the four benefits of regularly cleaning and sealing your pavers.


1. Clean and seal your pavers to prevent weeds from growing between them.

Regularly cleaning and sealing your pavers can help prevent weeds from growing between the cracks. Typically, during a professional cleaning and sealing service, the company will remove any existing weeds from between your pavers. Once the pavers are cleaned, the sealer will act as a barrier against new weeds so they cannot establish themselves in the spaces between your pavers.


2. Enhance the color of your pavers with a cleaning and sealing service.

In Florida, your pavers will be exposed to sunlight most of the year. The intense UV rays from the sun will eventually cause the colors of your pavers to fade. Other external factors like heavy foot traffic can contribute to staining your pavers, which is why you should regularly schedule a paver cleaning and sealing service. A cleaning and sealing service will enhance the color and brightness of your pavers to make them look as good as new. The cleaning service will eliminate those hard-to-remove stains and target those spots between the pavers where dirt and grime are prone to build up. The sealing process will create a barrier around your pavers to keep them looking vibrant even against the toughest wear and tear.


3. Cleaning and sealing your pavers will protect them from harsh weather conditions.

The sealer applied to your pavers will work to create a protective barrier against the elements. In Florida, it's usually either hot, raining, or a combination of the two. The sun and rain will wash out your pavers and cause algae and mold to grow between the cracks. A cleaning and sealing service will not only restore your pavers' vibrancy but can help prevent things like algae and mold from growing between them. The sealer can also act as a barrier of protection against the sun to keep your pavers looking pristine!

It's important to use a water-based sealer in the Sarasota, FL area to avoid trapping moisture.

The cleaning and sealing process will also help prevent things like weeds, mold, and algae from developing between your pavers, which translates to easier maintenance for you. All you'll have to do to keep your pavers in good condition is occasionally sweep and spot-clean them until you schedule another cleaning and sealing service!
