Paver cleaning, sanding and sealing in Blythewood, SC
Blythewood is big lots, long driveways and trees, from the horse farms and Doko Meadows out to the newer streets off I-77. A driveway that has just been cleaned is the easiest thing in the world to keep clean, for a while. Sealing is how you stretch that. With the humidity over the wooded lots north of town, open pores are where the green comes back, and a sealer closes them so stains sit on top where a rinse takes them off. From Rimer Pond Road to Blythewood Road, the whole town is in range.
Included in every sealing job
Clean, sand, seal, in that order, so the sealer bonds to the surface and not to a layer of grime.
- Cleaned first, the same surface clean we do on its own, so the sealer bonds to the surface and not to a layer of grime.
- Dried properly. Sealer over damp concrete turns cloudy. We wait for the surface to dry, usually a day or two after the clean.
- Joints re-sanded with joint stabilizing sand, swept into every joint so the pavers lock back in.
- Sand hardened by the sealer. A commercial-grade joint-stabilizing sealer soaks into the joints and hardens the sand, so the whole surface works as one unit.
- Even coats sprayed on with a 1 GPM pump and back-rolled where the surface needs it, then the extra is blown down into the joints so none sits on the pavers and dries to white spots.
- Finish to suit. A natural look or a wet look. You choose before we start.
- Insured work, certificate sent to you or your HOA on request.
Why sealing pays off in Blythewood
Sealer does two things on long driveways, some of them the longest we clean. It stops liquids soaking in, so oil and leaf stains sit on the surface where a rinse takes them off, and it slows the algae and mildew that need a damp, open pore to grow.
Not every surface in Blythewood is worth sealing. Flaking concrete, and pavers sealed before with something unknown, need a look first, and a sealer hides neither cracks nor stains that have already soaked in. We say which surfaces qualify when we quote.
Plan on re-sealing pavers every two to three years and concrete every five to eight. Full sun and vehicle traffic wear it faster. A shaded patio under the pines and hardwoods on most lots goes slower.
On pavers, the joints matter as much as the faces. Joint stabilizing sand goes in after the clean, and the sealer hardens it so the pavers hold together as one unit and the sand stays put through the rain.

On the ground in Blythewood
Around Rimer Pond Road, Cobblestone Park and LongCreek, a sealing job in Blythewood usually comes down to the same few surfaces. This is what we do with each of them.
- Long driveways, some of them the longest we clean: cleaned first, dried for a day or two, then sealed.
- Paver joints: refilled with joint stabilizing sand, which the sealer then hardens so the sand stays put through the rain.
- Concrete: a penetrating sealer that repels water and protects against freeze-thaw cracking.
- Patios and walks on acre lots, often with woods on one side: natural or wet look, chosen before we start.
- Cars off a sealed drive for 24 hours. Re-seal pavers every two to three years, concrete every five to eight.

Concrete sealing
Concrete gets a different sealer from pavers. Here it is going onto a sidewalk we had just cleaned. It soaks into the concrete, repels water and salt, and protects the slab from the freeze-thaw cycle that opens up cracks on cold winter nights.
Concrete drives, walks and patios can be sealed on their own or with a paver job. Plan on re-sealing every five to eight years.
Questions we get asked
How often do pavers in Blythewood need resealing?
Every two to three years for most patios and driveways. Sealed concrete lasts longer, about five to eight years. Full sun and daily car traffic wear any sealer faster.
How soon after cleaning can a Blythewood driveway be sealed?
A day or two of dry weather, longer after rain. With the humidity over the wooded lots north of town, we check the surface is properly dry before the sealer goes on.
Will you come down a long gravel drive?
Yes. We need an outside tap somewhere on the property, and our hoses reach a long way from it. Tell us where it is when you ask for a quote.
