Cleaning lifts the green film, rust and dirt that dull pavers, so the surface looks brighter and grips better underfoot. New sand then fills the joints, so the pavers sit steadier and weeds find less room. The back walk that went dark over the summer can match the rest of the yard again.

What is part of a paver cleaning job?
The job is stain treatment, a gentle wash and, after drying, new joint sand. You can book it by itself or as the opening half of a sealing job. Shaded walks and the spots hit by sprinklers usually need the most time. To line up a cleaning, call (904) 830-5386.
Stain treatment
A cleaner matched to the problem, whether algae, rust or leaf stains, goes on first and is tested on a small spot.
Gentle wash
A surface cleaner or a wand held at a shallow angle gives an even pass without blasting sand out of the joints.
Fresh joint sand
Kiln dried sand is swept into every gap once the pavers have dried, then wet down to settle it.
Sealer if you want it
Sealer can go on afterward, once the whole area is dry. The sealing guide covers what it adds.
What are the signs my pavers need cleaning?
Look for a green or black film along shaded edges, orange marks near the sprinkler heads, weeds in the joints and sand on the driveway after rain. The film comes first on that list, because a slick walk or pool deck is a fall risk. To have yours looked at, call (904) 830-5386.
Is cleaning enough, or should I seal my pavers too?
A cleaning fixes how the pavers look today, and a coat of sealer helps that look last. Stopping at a cleaning costs less now, but green film, rust and fading return on their own schedule. A coat makes the next wash easier, though it has to be renewed every few years. Let the contractor know if you want a coat as well when you request your free estimate.
How often should Oakleaf Plantation pavers be cleaned?
Family Handyman says shaded pavers that get swept often need a thorough cleaning about once a year, while sunny ones may go every few years. Around a screened pool or under tree cover, plan on the yearly end. A sunny driveway can wait longer. For a cleaning schedule that suits your lot, call (904) 830-5386.
Does a harder blast clean pavers better?
No. Unilock warns that the wrong pressure or nozzle can cause cracks, erosion and joint sand loss, and it advises keeping the spray no steeper than 30 degrees. Extra force also pulls sand out of the joints, so more of the job becomes re-sanding. Ask about the pressure setting and nozzle the contractor has in mind when you request your free estimate.
Technique counts as much as equipment. A surface cleaner held at a steady height gives an even result, and a cleaner matched to each stain does the heavy lifting. Ask how plants near the pavers will be covered, too. To ask those questions now, call (904) 830-5386.
What is the white film on newer Oakleaf Plantation pavers?
A chalky white film on newer pavers is usually efflorescence, calcium salts that rise to the surface as concrete dries and gets wet. Unilock says it is only a cosmetic issue, and that waiting for it to fade takes two to three months or up to a year. Sealer cannot go on until it is gone. Describe where the film sits when you call (904) 830-5386.
What is the orange staining near my sprinklers?
Most often it is iron from irrigation. A washing company that serves the area lists irrigation rust and paver aprons for Oakleaf and ZIP 32065. A rust remover made for pavers lifts it, and Unilock cautions that a wire brush leaves rust marks of its own. Point out the marks when you request your free estimate.
Which paved areas can be cleaned at an Oakleaf Plantation home?
Any paved area at the house can be cleaned, including the driveway, pool deck, patio and front walk. Grime differs from one area to the next, so the cleaner and method do too. To start with yours, request your free estimate.
Driveways
Tires, oil drips and the longest hours of sun land here first. Cleaning a driveway matters most where cars turn and the joints loosen.
Screened pool decks
Splash water and wet feet wear on pool pavers every day. Cleaning a pool deck should leave it with footing you can trust.
Back patios and lanais
Patios under a roof or tree cover stay damp and collect green film and leaf marks. Cleaning a patio usually means scrubbing the shaded corners longest.
Front walks and aprons
Walks pick up mulch, soil and sprinkler spray, and aprons near the street take the most orange rust. Cleaning the front of the house is a small job every visitor notices.
What leaves Oakleaf Plantation pavers dirty?
Fading, lost joint sand, orange rust, green film and slick pool decks lead the list. A cleaning deals with some of these, and sealing or repairs deal with the others. To see which ones fit your property, call (904) 830-5386.
1. Fading on open driveways
A driveway with no shade takes sun from morning to evening, and unprotected color goes chalky first. A Jacksonville guide puts driveways closer to a three year reseal for that reason. Cleaning shows how much color is left, and a coat afterward helps hold it.
2. Joint sand lost to summer rain
A Northeast Florida washing company points to summer washout of joint sand. When the joints run low, pavers can shift and weeds move in.
3. Orange rust near the sprinklers
That same company lists irrigation rust and paver aprons for Oakleaf and ZIP 32065. Unilock warns that a wire brush can leave rust marks of its own, so a proper rust treatment comes first.
4. Green film on the shaded side
Shaded walks and patios stay wet longest. Family Handyman says shaded pavers need a thorough cleaning about once a year, and sunny ones only every few years.
5. Slick spots around the pool
Algae and mineral rings build up under screen enclosures. A slip resistant additive and a sealer chosen for pool decks keep the footing safe.
What does paver cleaning cost in Oakleaf Plantation?
A Jacksonville paver company advertises cleaning from $0.22 per square foot, and square footage, paver type and joint sand needs set the final figure. That puts the starting point near $198 for a 900 square foot driveway and near $330 for a 1,500 square foot driveway and pool deck. New joint sand adds $0.25 to $0.75 per square foot, a 2026 Jacksonville guide says. For a price on your property, request your free estimate.
Planning to seal as well? Ask for one combined price. The full clean, sand and seal runs $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot in prices published by Northeast Florida companies. To compare the two prices with someone, call (904) 830-5386.

| Paved area | Cleaning from | Full clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 500 sq ft | $110 | $875 to $1,625 |
| 900 sq ft | $198 | $1,575 to $2,925 |
| 1,500 sq ft | $330 | $2,625 to $4,875 |
Cleaning figures are the $0.22 per square foot starting rate of one Jacksonville paver company, times the area. The last column uses the $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot a Northeast Florida washing company published, read in November 2026. Large areas can price lower per foot, so your own quote may land elsewhere.

What do cleaned pavers look like in Oakleaf Plantation?
How does the paver cleaning process go, step by step?
If you skip sealer, the visit stops at step four with the joints full. To set a date, call (904) 830-5386.
1. Measure and look it over
The contractor measures the area for the cleaning quote and notes low spots, loose pavers, old sealer and any place water sits.
2. Cover and pre-treat
Plants near the pavers are covered, and a cleaner made for the stain, whether algae, rust or leaf marks, is tested on a small spot first.
3. Wash with care
A surface cleaner or a wand held at a shallow angle does the washing. Unilock says to keep the spray no steeper than 30 degrees so the joint sand stays put.
4. Sweep in new sand
Once the pavers dry, kiln dried joint sand is swept in, wet down to settle it and topped off. A Jacksonville company lets pavers and sand dry for one to two hours after that.
5. Walk the job with you
The contractor shows you the cleaned pavers and the full joints. You also hear whether a coat would help and how soon the green film may return.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most effective way to clean patio pavers?
A cleaner matched to the stain, a soft brush and a gentle rinse. Unilock suggests soap and water or a paver cleaner for algae, dirt and leaf stains, with a hose or a low pressure setting. Contractors add a surface cleaner on bigger areas and sweep in fresh sand afterward.
How much does it cost to have pavers cleaned and sealed?
Northeast Florida companies publish about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the full job. A 900 square foot Oakleaf Plantation driveway comes to about $1,575 to $2,925. Stripping failed sealer or leveling sunken pavers costs extra.
How much does it cost to re-sand and seal pavers?
The clean, re-sand and seal is part of that same $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot. New sand alone runs $0.25 to $0.75 per square foot, a 2026 Jacksonville guide says. Check that sand shows up as its own line in your quote.
Is there a downside to sealing pavers?
Yes, it is a repeat cost every few years, and a glossy coat can feel slick on a wet pool deck. Cleaning alone avoids that cost, but it adds no protection against the green film coming back.
Is it a good idea to pressure wash pavers?
Yes, when the pressure is low and the joints get new sand afterward. Unilock warns that the wrong pressure or nozzle can cause cracks, erosion and lost joint sand. A surface cleaner plus the right product for each stain beats raw power.
Should pavers be cleaned before sealing?
Yes. Sealer traps whatever sits beneath it, so algae, rust and old stains have to come off first. PD Home Pros says sealing a damp surface causes hazing, so the pavers also need time to dry.
Why do the pavers around my Oakleaf Plantation pool keep turning green?
Water, shade and humidity keep the surface damp, and damp is what algae needs. A screen enclosure over the pool deck adds shade. A slip resistant additive and a sealer made for pool decks help the surface stay safe and easier to clean.
What are the orange marks on the pavers near my sprinkler heads?
Most often it is iron rust from irrigation. A washing company that serves the area lists irrigation rust and paver aprons for Oakleaf and ZIP 32065. Unilock cautions against a wire brush, which can leave rust marks, so a rust treatment comes first.
