Our Cleaning Process

1

To clean the paver area, we begin using a commercial grade surface cleaner that has a rotating bar with 2 spray tips. This operates at 3500-4000 psi and will thoroughly scrub the pavers and paver joints without causing damage. We then "cross wash" the paver area again, so it gets "double scrubbed" to ensure they're clean, and to help remove algae buildup or dirty sand between the paver joints.

2

We then use a wand to pressure wash around all edges, corners, columns, etc. Pool areas also get detailed around the pool screen, pool coping, hot tubs, and other water features. The wand helps remove paint spots, mortar, grease, and more from the surface of your pavers.

3

After the washing process, we thouroughly rinse all dirt and debris from the paver area. Flusing the mold and algae from the paver joints is a key part of the rinsing process. Once the pavers are rinsed, it's time to re-sand all the paver joints.

4

Resanding the paver joints is very important, as the sand provides the stability of your entire paver system. We use a coarse-grained masonry sand and fill to within approximately 1/8" of the paver edge using the "wet sanding" method. Wet sanding is betther than sweeping because the wet sand settles to the lowest point and allows us to fill them properly and rinse away the excess.

Once the sanding of the paver joints is complete, we use a blower to blow any excess sand off the pavers before applying the sealer.
