Irrigation rust
Well water leaves orange arcs wherever the sprinklers reach. We lift it with a paver-safe rust remover, not acid that etches.
Bring back the pavers you paid for.
Cleaning, rust removal, re-sanding, and sealing for driveways, pool decks, and lanais across Southwest Florida.

What Florida does to pavers
Mold & mildew
Shade and summer rain turn pavers black-green. Treated at the root so it doesn’t come right back.
Sun fade
Ten months of UV bleach the color out. Sealer brings the depth back and slows the next fade.
Weeds & ants
Rain flushes joint sand out and weeds and ants move in. Polymeric sand locks the joints again.
Oil & tire marks
Degreased and spot-treated first, so nothing gets sealed in.
Sunken spots
Low spots hold water after every storm. We lift the pavers, re-base, and relay them.
How we restore them
Book before June. Sealer needs a dry day to cure, and rainy season makes them rare.

Neighbors who called us
Our pool deck had orange sprinkler stains we thought were permanent. Gone. It looks like the day the builder finished.
They told us to wait until the rain let up, and they were right. Two years later it still beads water.
The HOA sent us a letter about the driveway. Done in a day, and two neighbors asked for their number.
Questions
Serving Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Lehigh Acres, Punta Gorda, and Sanibel.
How often should pavers be resealed in Florida?
Natural finishes every 3–5 years. Wet look and pool decks every 2–3. The easy test: pour a cup of water. If it beads, you’re fine. If it darkens and soaks in, it’s time.
Will sealer make my pool deck slippery?
Not the way we do it. Wet look around pools gets an anti-slip additive, and a natural finish keeps the most grip.
What if it rains after sealing?
Sealer needs about 24 dry hours. We watch the radar and reschedule for free rather than seal into a storm.
Can you get rust stains out?
Almost always. We treat irrigation rust before sealing, and we can point you to a filter so it doesn’t come back.
My pavers are new. Can I seal them now?
Wait 60–90 days. New pavers push out a white haze (efflorescence) that should come out before anything is sealed in.
Does my HOA need to approve it?
Clear sealers rarely need approval. For color restoration, we send product sheets your board can review.
