Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a paver sealing job take in Orange Park?

Plan on one day of work and a day or two of curing for most homes. A Jacksonville paver company says most of its home repair jobs wrap up in a day, and that its sealer cures in roughly 24 to 48 hours, with heat and humidity setting the pace. Base repairs can add a second day. For a timeline on your own pavers, call (904) 298-7976.

Why do pavers around Orange Park turn green so fast?

Shade, damp air and daily sprinklers keep the surface wet long enough for algae to take hold. An Orange Park washing company points out that the town gets lake moisture and oak cover rather than ocean salt, and that north walls here grow mildew. Once the growth is gone, sealed pavers rinse clean more easily. To have green spots looked at, call (904) 298-7976.

What leaves orange stains on Orange Park driveways?

Most of the time it is iron in sprinkler water. UF/IFAS Extension says most Florida well water is high in iron, and an Orange Park washing company sees irrigation rust on paver aprons in the newer neighborhoods of ZIP 32065. Those marks need a rust remover before any sealer goes on. To get a price on rust removal, ask for a free quote.

Does sealing keep weeds and ants out of the joints?

It helps a lot, as long as the joints get refilled first. A Jacksonville paver company explains that weeds and ant hills mean the joint sand is gone, and that new sand with sealer on top leaves them no room. Pulling the weeds alone leaves the gap open. To have your joints checked, ask for a free quote.

How much does it cost to seal pavers in Florida?

On the First Coast, figure $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal, which is the range an Orange Park company lists. An 800 square foot Orange Park driveway would land near $1,400 to $2,600.

Why is paver sealing so expensive?

Most of the bill pays for labor and prep, not the sealer. A Jacksonville company's 2026 price guide says a fair price covers a deep clean, new joint sand and two coats of sealer. It also warns that quotes under $1 per square foot usually mean prep is being skipped.

What do professionals use to seal pavers?

Most use a water-based or solvent-based paver sealer, sprayed on at low pressure and spread with a roller. One Jacksonville paver company uses a two-part water-based urethane. Ask for the product name and its data sheet before the work starts.

How often do you need to reseal pavers in Florida?

Every three to five years is Unilock's general guide. A Jacksonville paver company suggests every 30 to 36 months, with a yearly cleaning in between. Shade, sun and sprinklers move that number for each surface.
