Paver cleaning and sealing in St. George
Paver sealing is a clear coat applied after a deep clean and fresh joint sand. It helps pavers resist stains, fading, and weeds, and it locks the sand in place. In the St. George sun, most driveways and patios look their best when resealed every few years.
Signs it is time
- Colors look washed out or chalky.
- Joint sand has washed out and weeds or ants are moving in.
- White, powdery staining (efflorescence) or hard-water spots from sprinklers.
- Oil, rust, or food stains that soak in quickly.
How it works
- You call or send the short form with the area and a photo if you have one.
- A local company gives a price, usually by square foot.
- The crew cleans, re-sands the joints, lets it dry, and applies the sealer.
- You stay off it for the cure time the crew gives you.
Pick a finish
- Natural or matte: keeps the original look.
- Color-enhancing or wet look: deeper color with some sheen.
- Anti-slip additive: a good idea on pool decks and walkways.

Common questions
How often should pavers be sealed in St. George?
Many homeowners reseal every two to four years. Heavy sun, sprinkler overspray, and driveway traffic wear it faster. Ask the company which sealer they use and how long it is rated to last.
Can new pavers be sealed right away?
Many installers suggest waiting until efflorescence settles down, which can take weeks or months. Ask the installer or sealing company.
Will sealing make pavers slippery?
Glossy finishes can be slicker when wet. Ask for a matte finish or an anti-slip additive on pool decks and walkways.
Does sealing stop weeds?
Sealing with polymeric or stabilized joint sand helps hold the sand in place, which makes it harder for weeds and ants to get in.
Can sealing fix sunken pavers?
No. Sunken or loose pavers need to be lifted and reset first. Many sealing companies can do minor resets.
How long until I can drive on it?
It depends on the sealer and weather. Foot traffic is often fine within hours, cars usually need longer. Follow the crew's cure time.
