What to Look For
Signs Your Pavers Need Cleaning
- Green or black algae growth building up in the low spots and joints between pavers, especially in shaded areas.
- Weeds or grass sprouting up through the gaps where joint sand has washed out or broken down over time.
- Faded or uneven coloring across the surface, often from years of dirt and organic buildup dulling the original paver color.
- White or grayish powdery staining, known as efflorescence, which happens when minerals rise to the surface as moisture moves through the paver material.
- Orange or rust colored staining near sprinkler heads, usually from iron in irrigation water rather than ordinary dirt.
Will pressure washing damage my pavers?
It can, if too much pressure is used too close to the surface, particularly on older pavers or ones with worn joint sand. Adjusting the pressure and technique to the condition of the pavers is what prevents this. For more detail, visit our soft vs pressure washing page.
Not the Same as Concrete
Why Pavers Need a Different Approach
A poured concrete driveway is one continuous surface, but pavers are individual units set close together with sand filling the joints between them. Blasting pavers with the same high pressure used on solid concrete can wash out that joint sand, leaving gaps that let weeds grow back faster and can eventually cause pavers to shift. Older or weaker pavers can also chip at the edges under too much direct force. The right approach uses controlled pressure adjusted to the age and condition of the pavers, rather than a single setting used on every surface. This applies whether the pavers are part of a driveway or a paver patio.To explore all pressure washing services and methods go to our home page

03
Controlled Cleaning

A Separate Step
Paver Sealing After Cleaning
Cleaning and sealing are two different steps. Cleaning removes dirt, algae, weeds, organic buildup, and other surface contamination. Sealing is a separate process that can help protect suitable paver surfaces from moisture, staining, and everyday outdoor exposure.
Sealing is not automatically needed after every cleaning. The condition and material of the pavers, joint sand, existing sealer, moisture, and surface preparation all matter. If your pavers are being cleaned and you are considering sealing them afterward, we can evaluate their condition and explain whether sealing makes sense for the surface.
When Should Pavers Be Sealed?
Sealing may be worth considering when the pavers have been properly cleaned and prepared, the existing sealer has worn down, the surface is suitable for the type of sealer being considered, you want additional protection from everyday outdoor exposure, or the paver material and surface condition support sealing.
Sealing should not be treated as an automatic step after every cleaning. Existing coatings, moisture, efflorescence, damaged joints, and the condition of the pavers can affect whether sealing is appropriate.
What Affects Paver Cleaning and Sealing Cost?
Pricing depends on the total square footage, the condition of the joints and sand, and how much algae or staining has built up. For sealing, the condition of the pavers, existing sealer, surface preparation, joint condition, and type of paver can also affect the work involved. See our pressure washing cost guide for a full breakdown of what drives pricing.
