Coastal America’s Premier
Paver Restoration Company
Why Us
Seacoast Driveways is a full-service paver restoration company specializing in all types (driveway, patio, and pool deck) of paver restoration, enhancement, and protection. Concrete paver restoration (cleaning, sanding, and sealing) is a process that takes pavers, even newly installed pavers, beyond its perceived image as just another construction material and transforms older, faded pavers into an attractive, vibrant, and innovating medium for your home’s curb appeal, while still serving its function as an integral part of your hardscape. The transformation of your pavers into a stunning appearance is achieved through a highly technical process that uses a variety of eco-friendly products that may be applied to the paver surface and its control joints.
Our technicians and staff have been involved in the installation and repair of paver, brick, concrete, and tabby hardscapes for more that 20 years, and we are now turning our attention to restoring the thousands of paver structures throughout the coastal United States. We are certified, licensed, insured, and 100% committed to excellence and customer satisfaction.
*Seacoast Driveways is locally owned and operated.
Services
When you walk on the average 10–15-year-old paver driveway, patio, or pool deck you will notice it is dirty, the color is faded, the joints may have weed growth, perhaps a white haze on the surface, or the old sealer is peeling. 90% of the time this scenario requires more than just a pressure washing, and homeowners who hire their landscaper or handyman to address these issues, or worse yet try to handle it themselves, almost always end up with poor results.
Seacoast Driveways restoration process is multi-pronged and takes into consideration technical knowledge of building materials, chemical solutions, paver structure functionality, and coastal climate interaction.
We begin the restoration process by analyzing your pavers current condition, then repairing any uneven pavers, next we select the appropriate eco-friendly treatment to remediate any current surface problems, this may include stripping of previously failed sealer. This is followed by a 4,000-psi pressure wash and buff of the entire surface. Efforts are made to make sure the old sand is removed from the control joints, preparing them to be re-sanded with high-grade polymeric sand, then compacting the new poly sand for maximum stability. Once the new sand has been compacted any excess sand is removed and the surface is then prepared for the application of the recommended sealer. Please keep in mind that the selection of the correct sealer is vitally important to not only bringing out the original color of the pavers, but also ensuring the longevity of the entire hardscape restoration by protecting it from harsh environmental factors.
The result is a beautiful paver driveway, patio, or pool deck that may be enjoyed for years to come. Just know that the whispers you will hear from your neighbors are not about you personally, but about the incredible restoration of your home’s curb appeal.
We do provide more detailed information about the restoration process in person, including how important our techniques are, and why we choose the products we use.
In many cases, pavers that have remained unsealed for many years, professional color enhancement may be needed. Due to the lack of protection, in combination with the salt in our coastal rain, and moisture from high humidity, the surface of your pavers can begin to erode, causing unattractive color differences in tones while also exposing the aggregate in the pavers themselves. In general, the extremely faded, dull, and lifeless appearance of the unprotected pavers may require the bold action of color enhancement.
The color tints we use are semi-translucent dyes designed to soak deep into the pores and give permanent rich colors to your pavers. Color enhancement is an art that is best left to the professionals at Seacoast Driveways.
Color enhancement projects may require multiple colors to achieve the best results. We do provide more detailed information about the color enhancement process in person, including how important our techniques are, and why we choose the products we use.
Increase the longevity of your new concrete pavers by applying a protective penetrating sealer to the surface. Penetrative sealing is the best way to guard your pavers and other concrete surfaces from stains and to prevent moisture from seeping into the substrate and pores of the pavers while allowing ground moisture underneath to evaporate through the surface.
Left unsealed, pavers will retain water for extended periods of time, which promotes mold and mildew growth. Meanwhile, sealing your pavers prevents mold and mildew from forming on the surface for a prolonged period. After protective sealing is completed, most common driveway stains and accidental patio or pool deck spills clean off with a simple rinse from your garden water hose. This water retention can also work its way into the control joints causing instability leading to shifting pavers over time.
Let the professionals at Seacoast Driveways help protect your paver or concrete investment!
