Paver cleaning, sanding and sealing in Lexington, SC
Lexington sits between the lake and the Old Mill, and the lake sets the weather for every house in town. 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 moisture Lake Murray puts in the air, 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. From Main Street and the Old Mill to Old Cherokee Road, the whole town is in range.
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 Lexington
Lexington drives take a beating from the moisture Lake Murray puts in the air. Sealer closes the pores, so the growth has nowhere to start and the stains have nowhere to soak.
Sealer is a finish, not a repair. On newer concrete drives that show every stain, it locks in whatever is there, so cracks and soaked-in stains stay. Old flaking concrete and previously sealed pavers get a test patch before anything is promised.
Two to three years is the usual life of a paver coat in Lexington, five to eight on concrete. Sun and tires shorten it, shade from the pines around the newer subdivisions stretches it.

On the ground in Lexington
The houses in Lexington run to vinyl-sided subdivisions built since the 2000s, with lake houses along the shore, which means a sealing job here usually involves the same few surfaces. Each one gets its own treatment.
- Newer concrete drives that show every stain: 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 Lexington 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 Lexington driveway be sealed?
A day or two of dry weather, longer after rain. With the moisture Lake Murray puts in the air, we check the surface is properly dry before the sealer goes on.
