Paver cleaning, sanding and sealing in Eastover, SC
Eastover is the far end of Lower Richland, out past Hopkins where Garners Ferry Road runs down toward the Wateree and Congaree rivers. A driveway that has just been cleaned is the easiest thing in the world to keep clean, for about a month. Then the pores open back up and, with the damp low ground where the Wateree and Congaree rivers meet, the green moves back in. A sealer closes them, so stains sit on top and the next clean is a rinse rather than a job. We cover the McEntire base side, the Wateree River side, Eastover town and everything between.
Included in every sealing job
Cleaning is part of the job. Sealer goes on clean, dry, re-sanded pavers or clean concrete, never over dirt.
- 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 Eastover
Sealer does two things on long drives off Garners Ferry Road and Highway 601. 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.
It is not for every surface. Old, flaking concrete and pavers that have already been sealed with something unknown need a look before we promise anything, and a sealer will not hide cracks or stains that are already soaked in. We tell you which surfaces are worth sealing and which are not when we quote the job.
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 old oaks and pines around most country lots goes slower.

On the ground in Eastover
Most of our sealing calls in Eastover come from Garners Ferry Road, Highway 601 and Gadsden. The surfaces repeat, so here is how each one gets handled.
- Long drives off Garners Ferry Road and Highway 601: cleaned first, dried for a day or two, then sealed.
- Pavers: re-sanded with joint stabilizing sand, then sealed. The sealer hardens the sand so the pavers hold together as one unit.
- Concrete: a penetrating sealer that repels water and protects against freeze-thaw cracking.
- Finish: 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 Eastover 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 an Eastover driveway be sealed?
A day or two of dry weather, longer after rain. With the damp low ground where the Wateree and Congaree rivers meet, we check the surface is properly dry before the sealer goes on.
