Who seals pavers at an Arlington home, and how soon?
A local contractor seals pavers throughout Arlington, FL, and you will hear back within 1 business day, usually much sooner. The estimate is free, and the decision to book is yours. To start, call (904) 944-6930.
Sealing deepens color, keeps joint sand in place and makes oak leaves, pollen and algae easier to rinse off. Think of the long drive to your garage after a humid summer, gray at the edges and sandy at the seams, then dark and even again with every joint full. A driveway takes tires and oil, and a pool deck takes splash and bare feet, so each gets its own plan. Explain to the contractor how each area is used when you ask for your free estimate.

What does a paver sealing job include in Arlington?
Expect four parts: a look at the surface, a wash, fresh joint sand and the sealer coat. The wash and drying take the longest. To go through them for your home, call (904) 944-6930.
Surface check
Size, sunken spots, broken pavers, old sealer and puddles are noted before a price is set.
Wash and stain treatment
Algae, tannin marks, rust and dirt come off with cleaners matched to each, and the wash stays gentle on the joints.
Joint sand
Kiln dried sand fills each gap so the pavers lock together and weeds find little room.
Sealer coat
The product goes on dry pavers in an even pass at the coverage its label calls for.
How do I know my pavers need sealing?
Watch for faded color, joints sitting below the paver edges, sand on the driveway after a storm and water that soaks in instead of beading. Stallone's Pro Wash, a Duval County paver company, says water that stops beading is the sign a fresh coat is due. Adding sand early costs less than relaying pavers that have shifted. For a quick opinion, call (904) 944-6930.
Which sealer holds up in Arlington humidity?
Different homes call for different sealers, so ask which one the contractor has in mind and the reason. Stallone's Pro Wash applies Trident sealers in four finishes, from a wet look high gloss to a natural matte, plus a penetrating type for natural stone. Unilock adds that solvent-based products are a little more durable but need perfectly dry pavers and joints. To compare options for your surface, call (904) 944-6930.
Sealers also fall into two families. Film-forming sealers form a layer over the paver, cost more and give the wet look, while penetrating ones soak in, cost less and wear out sooner, says a 2026 Duval County price guide. Around a pool, a lower sheen keeps footing safer. Learn which product suits each spot when you ask for your free estimate.
Should I choose a wet look or a natural finish?
Choose a wet look for deep color and shine, or a natural finish to stay close to how the pavers looked new. A glossy surface shows scuffs sooner and can feel slick when wet, so a busy driveway or a pool deck often suits a lower sheen. If your home has an HOA, ask whether a change in look needs approval. To see samples of both, ask for your free estimate.
How often should Arlington pavers be resealed?
Most coats last three to five years, according to Unilock and a 2026 Duval County price guide, and a local paver company quotes two to five. An exterior cleaning company says full sun, pool chlorine and summer storms can bring it to about two. Shade and light traffic stretch it. Check by splashing water on the surface, and if it soaks in, call (904) 944-6930.
Does a thicker coat protect pavers longer?
No. Unilock says to apply sealer in one session at an even rate, because stopping partway can leave layers over one spot and uneven gloss. Thicker is not tougher. If a quote sells extra coats as extra protection, ask what the product label says about coverage before you ask for your free estimate.
When is the right time of year to seal pavers in Arlington?
A dry week matters more than the month. Unilock wants 24 to 48 hours of clear skies before sealing and up to 48 hours of dry weather after, with surface temperatures between 50 and 90 degrees and 75 the sweet spot. Hot pavers can stain, and the coat can peel ahead of its time. A Duval County exterior cleaning company lists fall as a good window because it is drier ahead of winter. To pick a day around the forecast, call (904) 944-6930.
New pavers have their own wait. Unilock says efflorescence usually takes two to three months to clear and sometimes up to a year, and sealing before it is gone can trap it. Tell the contractor your install date. Sprinklers also have to stay off while the coat cures, so plan that with the timer in mind. To set it up, ask for your free estimate.
Can sealer fix pavers that sank or spread apart?
No. A coat cannot lift a low paver or close a gap. Pavers that rock under a car or hold a puddle need their base repaired first, and sand only stays once they sit level. Learn whether raising low pavers is in the price or billed on its own when you ask for your free estimate.
Which areas around an Arlington home can be sealed?
Any of these can be sealed: driveways, pool decks, patios and walkways. Each one weathers in its own way, so the approach changes with the surface. To begin with whichever area bothers you the most around the house, ask for your free estimate.
Driveways
Tires, oil drips and hours of sun land on the driveway first. Sealing a long drive keeps the color even from the street to the garage.
Pool decks and lanais
Pool decks take splashes, chlorine and bare feet every day. Sealing one inside a screened cage should leave it gripping, not slick.
Back patios under oaks
Patios in oak shade stay damp and collect leaves, so green growth and brown tannin marks start early. These areas usually take the most scrubbing.
Walkways and entries
Walks pick up soil, mulch and irrigation overspray along the edges. Sealing the front walk is a small job every visitor notices.
What paver problems are common in Arlington?
Five come up again and again: oak tannin marks, algae on shaded sides, lost joint sand, irrigation rust and sun wear. Each is cheaper to deal with early. To find out which of these your pavers show, call (904) 944-6930.
1. Brown marks under live oaks
An exterior cleaning company that works in Arlington reports brown water stains on drives and walks under live oak canopy. Leaves left on wet pavers add to it, since the stain comes from tannins.
2. Green growth on shaded sides
Duval County sits in a humid subtropical belt, and the same company says moisture collects on the north and east sides of a home. Afternoon storms in summer keep algae fed.
3. Joint sand running out
Summer storms pull sand from pool decks and driveways. Once joints run low, pavers start to move and weeds come back, so sand is refilled before any coat goes down.
4. Orange irrigation rust
Iron in sprinkler water leaves orange marks near the heads and along edges. A rust treatment lifts them, and more pressure only makes them worse.
5. Sun and chlorine wear
An open driveway or a pool deck takes the hardest hits. Full sun and chlorine can shorten a coat to about two years, according to the same company.
What does paver sealing cost in Arlington?
Plan on about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot in Arlington for the full clean, sand and seal, the range a Duval County exterior cleaning company publishes. Size moves the rate. A 2026 Duval County price guide lists $2.50 to $3.25 under 300 square feet and $1.50 to $2.50 for a driveway of 800 to 1,200 square feet. Stripping failed sealer and replacing sand add to it. For a number written for your home, ask for your free estimate.
That guide also warns that bids under $1 per square foot almost always skip prep and may use diluted sealer that fails within a year. A low number deserves a question about which steps were left out. To compare a quote you already hold, call (904) 944-6930.
Only need a wash? Paver cleaning and joint sand has its own guide, and the service areas page lists every place covered.
| Paved area | Typical example | Clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 300 sq ft | Small patio or walkway | $525 to $975 |
| 600 sq ft | Two car driveway | $1,050 to $1,950 |
| 1,000 sq ft | Large driveway or pool deck | $1,750 to $3,250 |
| 1,500 sq ft | Driveway plus pool deck | $2,625 to $4,875 |
Math based on the $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot that Northeast Florida paver companies published as of November 2026. Your contractor sets the actual price after seeing the surface. Repairs, leveling and stripping failed sealer are usually extra.
Why hire a local contractor to seal pavers in Arlington?

How do Arlington pavers look after sealing?
What is the paver sealing process from start to finish?
Five steps cover most jobs, starting with the first look and ending with a final walk-through. When you are ready to schedule, call (904) 944-6930.
1. Look it over and measure
The contractor walks the area for the sealing quote and notes dips, loose pavers, old sealer, stains and where water pools.
2. Wash with care
Sprinklers go off and plants get covered. A surface cleaner does the wash, since Western Interlock, a paver company, keeps pressure near 2000 PSI or less and Unilock sprays at a low angle so sand stays in the joints.
3. Treat the stains
Dirt and algae get soap or a paver cleaner and a soft brush, never a wire brush, which Unilock says leaves metal particles that rust. Oil is soaked up first, then lifted with an extractor.
4. Refill the joints
After the pavers dry, kiln dried sand is swept in and settled. Western Interlock notes that some sand washes out during cleaning, so there is always a little to add.
5. Seal and walk the job
When sealer is part of the job, it goes on dry pavers with a sprayer and a short pile roller, in one session so the gloss stays even. The contractor then walks you through how long to stay off.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much to clean and seal pavers?
Local companies publish about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the whole job. A 600 square foot Arlington driveway comes to roughly $1,050 to $1,950. Stripping old sealer adds $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot, and joint sand replacement adds $0.25 to $0.75, according to a 2026 Duval County price guide.
Why is paver sealing so expensive?
Most of the price pays for prep. Washing, stain treatment, drying time, new sand and a careful coat take a day or two of labor. A Duval County exterior cleaning company calls it a two day restoration when the joints are empty or the old sealer has failed. Brick and natural stone cost 15 to 30 percent more because they need different chemistry.
How long do paver sealers last?
Anywhere from two to five years. Stallone's Pro Wash gives that span, a 2026 Duval County price guide says three to five, and an exterior cleaning company says full sun, pool chlorine and summer storms can cut it to about two. Shaded patios sit at the long end.
How much to seal a pool deck?
A 2026 Duval County price guide puts pool decks at $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot, or about $900 to $3,000 for a deck of 500 to 1,000 square feet. The same guide notes that penetrating sealers cost less up front and last shorter, while film-forming ones cost more and give a wet look.
Is it okay to seal pavers in an Arlington summer?
Only on a dry day. Unilock, a paver maker, wants 24 to 48 hours of clear skies before sealing, a surface between 50 and 90 degrees and sprinklers off. Afternoon storms are common in a humid subtropical county, so a contractor often waits for a settled stretch.
How do water-based and solvent-based sealers differ?
Unilock says water-based sealers clean up more easily and harden joint sand, while solvent-based ones are a little more durable but must go on perfectly dry pavers and joints. Coverage runs about 80 to 120 square feet per gallon for solvent and 100 to 150 for water-based.
Will sealer stop the brown stains under my oak tree?
It will not stop leaves from falling, but a sealed surface rinses cleaner. An exterior cleaning company that serves Arlington reports brown water stains on drives and walks under live oaks, and Western Interlock, a paver company, traces leaf stains to tannins. Sweep leaves off early.
Can pavers be sealed right after they are installed?
Not right away. Unilock says to wait until efflorescence is gone, typically two to three months and sometimes up to a year, and its FAQ gives 60 to 90 days as a minimum. Sealing too soon can trap that white salt haze under the coat.
