Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, for pavers that have faded, lost joint sand or started to go green. Sealing deepens the color and helps hold the sand, and Unilock, a paver maker, lists easier sweeping and washing as another gain. It is optional, though, and it does not fix a sunken or poorly draining base. To see if yours are ready, get a free estimate.

What is the average cost to seal pavers in Florida?

Safe Touch publishes $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. At those rates a 600 square foot driveway comes to about $1,050 to $1,950. Stripping a failed coat is usually priced separately. For a figure on your own Sandalwood home, call (904) 541-9860.

How long does paver sealing last in Florida?

Plan on two to five years. The same Jacksonville company calls two to three years typical, while Unilock says most owners reapply every three to five. Full sun, pool chlorine and hard summer storms push a coat toward the short end. If you want your coat looked at, call (904) 541-9860.

How much does it cost to re-sand and seal pavers?

The $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot range a Jacksonville washing company publishes covers cleaning, new joint sand and sealer together. A wide, simple driveway tends to land lower in that range, and a small patio with many edges tends to land higher. Ask that sand be listed on the quote when you get a free estimate.

Is it better to spray or roll paver sealer?

Many crews do both. Unilock suggests spraying the coat on, then using a dry foam roller to soak up extra sealer and prevent streaks and drips. The even finish matters more than the tool. To hear how a contractor works, call (904) 541-9860.

What are the downsides of sealing pavers?

The main one is the repeat cost, since a coat wears out every few years. A high gloss finish can also turn slippery when wet, which matters beside a pool, and Unilock says a whitish film can form when sealer goes over trapped moisture. A penetrating matte product keeps more traction. To talk through the trade-offs, call (904) 541-9860.

Can the pavers around a screened pool in Sandalwood be sealed?

Yes, pool decks are one of the most common jobs. Pick the finish with footing in mind, because chlorine, splash water and bare feet all work on a deck at once. Safe Touch lists pool chlorine as one reason a coat may need renewing closer to two years. To have a contractor look at your deck, get a free estimate.

Do Sandalwood's watering limits change when I should seal?

They can. Duval County was put under a Modified Phase II Severe Water Shortage on March 3, 2026, which kept lawn watering to one day a week. Unilock asks for sprinklers to stay off until sealer has had up to 48 hours to cure, so a fixed watering day is easy to plan around. To pick a date, get a free estimate.
