5 Benefits of Cleaning & Sealing Your Pavers

Installing a hardscape like a patio or a pool deck is a great way to add value to your outdoor living space, but over time, the pavers on these hardscapes will wear down from foot traffic and exposure to the natural elements that we experience here in Florida. To keep your hardscapes looking as new as the day you had them installed, you’ll want to regularly clean and seal your pavers. This service will prevent weeds from growing between the cracks of your hardscapes, enhance the color and brightness of your pavers, protect your hardscapes from natural elements, make ongoing maintenance easier for you, and reduce the chances of cracking in the future.

1. Cleaning and sealing your pavers will help prevent weeds from growing between the cracks.

One benefit of regularly cleaning and sealing your pavers is that the sealant can help prevent weeds from growing between the pavers. During a professional paver cleaning and sealing service, they will remove any existing weeds and lay the sealant that will act as a barrier against new weeds.

2. A cleaning and sealing service will enhance the color, texture, and brightness of your pavers.

Extensive sunlight and other natural elements will wash out the once bright colors of your hardscapes while dirt, grime, and debris will leave your pavers discolored and unappealing. Well, a cleaning and sealing service will enhance the color, texture, and brightness of your pavers to make them look as good as new! The cleaning portion typically includes pressure washing which will remove those extremely difficult stains and then that is followed up with a cleaning solution that can get rid of any mold or mildew that might’ve developed. Afterward, the sealant is applied to protect your pavers from the elements so that it stays in pristine condition!

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

Harsh weather conditions are one of the primary culprits that can damage your pavers or make them look washed out. This is why you should schedule a cleaning and sealing service, especially in Florida where the intense UV rays can make the colors on your pavers fade away. The sealant that’s used as a part of the cleaning and sealing service will act as a protective barrier against the elements, allowing your pavers to remain in their pristine condition for much longer.

4. After cleaning and sealing your pavers, your hardscapes become easy to maintain.

After your pavers have been cleaned and sealed, it will make ongoing maintenance much easier for you. As mentioned before, pavers will decrease the amount of damage and stains that your pavers endure. Moving forward, your hardscapes will only need to be occasionally swept and spot-cleaned!
