Paver cleaning involves using a pressure washer with a wide fan tip and a low-pressure setting to remove dirt and grime from the pavers. The pavers are then rinsed with clean water to remove any remaining debris, and a polymeric sand is applied to the joints to help stabilize the pavers and prevent weed growth. This process helps to restore the appearance and functionality of the pavers.

Inspection — We inspect the pavers for any loose or damaged pavers that may need to be repaired or replaced. This helps to ensure that the cleaning process does not cause further damage.
Cleaning — The pavers are then cleaned using a pressure washer with a wide fan tip and a low-pressure setting to remove dirt and grime. The pressure washer is moved in a consistent, overlapping pattern to ensure that all areas of the pavers are cleaned.
Rinsing — The pavers are then rinsed with clean water to remove any remaining debris and cleaning solution. This helps to restore the appearance of the pavers and prevent further damage.
Application of Polymeric Sand — A polymeric sand is then applied to the joints to help stabilize the pavers and prevent weed growth. The sand is swept into the joints and then compacted to ensure that it is properly seated.

Signs you need paver cleaning
If your pavers are showing signs of dirt and grime buildup, it may be time for a cleaning. This can include discoloration, efflorescence, or weed growth.
If you notice that your pavers are becoming uneven or unstable, it may be due to a lack of polymeric sand or stabilization. Cleaning and re-sanding the pavers can help to restore their appearance and functionality.
If you have recently installed new pavers, it's a good idea to have them cleaned and sealed to protect them from the elements and prevent damage.
If you're planning to apply a paver coating or overlay, it's essential to have the pavers cleaned first to ensure that the coating adheres properly.
Paver Cleaning questions
How often should I have my pavers cleaned? The frequency of paver cleaning depends on the amount of use and exposure to the elements. As a general rule, it's a good idea to have your pavers cleaned at least once a year to maintain their appearance and prevent damage.
What type of cleaning solution is used? We use a solution of sodium hypochlorite and a surfactant to break down dirt and grime. This solution is specifically designed for use on pavers and is safe for the environment.
Can I clean my pavers myself? While it's possible to clean your pavers yourself, it's not recommended. Using the wrong type of cleaning solution or applying it incorrectly can damage the pavers or the surrounding landscape. It's best to hire a professional to ensure that the job is done safely and correctly.
