Brick pavers add beauty and durability to driveways, patios, pool decks, and walkways, but without proper care, they can fade, stain, and shift over time. Whether you're dealing with discoloration, weed growth, or water damage, maintaining your pavers properly ensures they stay in excellent condition for years to come.
At Premier Coatings, we specialize in cleaning, sealing, and restoring brick pavers to protect them from Florida’s extreme weather conditions. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to keep your pavers looking fresh and vibrant.
Step 1: Regular Cleaning to Remove Dirt and Stains
Dirt, oil, and organic debris can accumulate on brick pavers, making them look dull and unkempt. Regular cleaning is essential to remove surface buildup and prevent permanent staining.
Best Methods for Cleaning Brick Pavers
- Routine Sweeping – Removes loose dirt, leaves, and debris before they cause stains.
- Pressure Washing – Deep cleans the surface and eliminates embedded dirt and mildew.
- Targeted Stain Removal – Oil, rust, and organic stains require special treatments.
If your pavers need professional cleaning, our paver cleaning services use high-pressure washing to restore their original color and texture.
Step 2: Sealing to Protect Against Fading and Water Damage
Once your pavers are clean, sealing is the next step to lock in color, prevent stains, and protect against moisture damage.
Benefits of Paver Sealing
✔ Enhances color vibrancy by bringing out the natural tones of the pavers.
✔ Prevents water absorption, reducing erosion and mildew growth.
✔ Blocks stains from oil, grease, and organic matter.
✔ Protects against UV rays, preventing fading from sun exposure.
Applying a high-quality paver sealer ensures long-term protection, keeping your pavers in top condition.
Step 3: Addressing Damaged or Uneven Pavers
Over time, shifting ground and heavy foot traffic can cause pavers to crack, sink, or become misaligned. Repairing these issues early prevents further deterioration.
Common Paver Problems and Solutions
- Loose or wobbly pavers – Replacing joint sand stabilizes the surface.
- Sinking pavers – Re-leveling prevents water pooling and trip hazards.
- Chipped or broken pavers – Swapping out damaged pavers restores appearance and function.
Our paver restoration services can help revitalize your pavers without the need for a full replacement.
Step 4: Replacing Joint Sand for Stability and Weed Prevention
One of the most overlooked aspects of paver maintenance is re-sanding the joints between pavers. Without proper joint stabilization, pavers can shift and weeds can grow between them.
Why Joint Sand Matters
✅ Keeps pavers in place, preventing movement.
✅ Reduces weed growth by blocking out sunlight.
✅ Helps with water drainage to minimize erosion.
If your paver joints are deteriorating, our paver maintenance services include joint re-sanding to maintain a clean and stable surface.
Step 5: Routine Maintenance for Long-Term Protection
Keeping up with regular maintenance extends the life of your pavers and reduces repair costs.
Best Practices for Paver Maintenance
- Sweep and rinse your pavers regularly.
- Spot clean stains before they set in.
- Inspect pavers for cracks, shifts, or missing joint sand.
- Schedule professional sealing every 2-3 years.
For long-term durability, our paver sealing warranty guarantees protection against common weather-related issues.
