Common issues include faded color from sun, mildew in shaded areas, joint sand washout after storms, weeds, stains, white haze, and old sealer that has clouded or peeled. Heavier use, mixed maintenance history, and less controlled irrigation/landscaping can leave uneven wear, stains, and failed old sealer.

Many paver surfaces are reviewed every 2 to 4 years, but timing depends on sun exposure, shade, drainage, prior sealer, traffic, and how quickly the joints or color begin to break down.
Yes. Cleaning is one of the most important parts of the project because sealer can trap dirt, mildew, haze, and residue if the surface is not prepared correctly.
No sealer can honestly guarantee zero weeds. Proper cleaning, joint sand replacement, and sealing can reduce weed-friendly gaps and make routine maintenance easier.
Send a few photos of the pavers, tell us the city, and describe the surface condition. We will help you understand the right next step before any estimate is scheduled.
