Can a contractor seal my Anastasia Island paver driveway, and how fast will I hear back?
Yes, a local contractor seals paver driveways anywhere on Anastasia Island, FL, and you get a reply within 1 business day, usually much sooner. The visit and the quote are free, and you can walk away from either. To begin, call (904) 274-8546.
A driveway works harder than any other paved area at your house. Tires drag grit across it, oil drips on it and the afternoon sun beats on it. After a wash, fresh joint sand and a coat, the pavers look deeper in color and the seams hold their sand. Share your street and the size of the drive when you ask for a free estimate.
Where does the car go while a driveway is being sealed?
Plan this before the date is set. The drive is off limits while the coat dries, so the cars need a place on the street or a neighbor's lot. A St. Augustine paver company says vehicles can return after 24 to 72 hours, and another says about 48. A third source says full readiness can take 3 to 5 days. Ask the contractor for a written wait time when you ask for a free estimate.
Foot traffic comes back sooner. One company says you can walk on the surface the same day, and another says about 24 hours. Mark the date on the calendar, and tell the family not to cut across a coat that looks dry. To pick a week with an open schedule, call (904) 274-8546.
Ask where the contractor will park too. A short chat about the garage, the mailbox and the sprinkler timer saves headaches on the day. Anything else on your list? ask for a free estimate.
What do tires, oil and sun do to an island driveway?
Tires push grit into the top of the paver and leave dark tracks where the car turns. The Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association says a sealer can make surface stains easier to remove. A coat does nothing for a stain that is already inside, so ask how oil spots get treated first. For a look at yours, call (904) 274-8546.
Sun fades color, and the summer is hot here. July highs near St. Augustine average about 91 degrees, and a St. Augustine company says unsealed stone can fade within roughly two summers. Rain washes out joint sand too. That is why the seams on an older drive often sit below the paver edges. Point out low seams when you ask for a free estimate.
A driveway is also where the island's sand ends up. Sand blows and washes onto the drive from the street, and a nor'easter can empty the joints. A St. Augustine company says empty joints need refilling before any sealing starts. Call (904) 274-8546 if yours look hollow.
Do I need to seal a paver driveway in Florida?
Nothing requires it, so the question is value. A local article calls sealing optional and says it extends a paver surface's life and keeps color bright. A St. Augustine company says a sealed surface repels dirt and grime and cleans more easily. A driveway that is faded and losing sand has the most to gain. To see what a coat would add to yours, ask for a free estimate.
Not every drive needs it this year. If the color is strong, the seams are full and water still beads, a wash and a check may be enough. A St. Augustine company says to look for flat color, sand washing out after storms and weeds in the seams. Describe what you see when you call (904) 274-8546.
Which sealer holds up under tires?
A St. Augustine paver company uses a harder film rated for vehicle tires on driveways, and a penetrating product on clay brick. Another uses a matte sealer in two coats on concrete pavers. A film coat that is not cured can lift under hot tires, so cure time matters as much as the product. Ask what is planned for your drive when you ask for a free estimate.
Water based or solvent based? Unilock says solvent-based sealer lasts about 4 to 5 years, while water-based sealer is easier to clean up. A coat that is walked or driven on before it cures can pick up tire marks, which is one more reason to ask how dryness is checked. Call (904) 274-8546 and ask how dryness is checked.
How much does it cost to clean and seal a paver driveway?
A St. Augustine company publishes $1.50 to $3.25 per square foot to clean and seal, and says most local jobs come to $500 to $3,000. A second company lists $1.75 to $2.50 and shows a 1,000 square foot driveway at $1,750 to $2,500. For a written price on your drive, ask for a free estimate.
The table below uses the second company's list, since no page gave a driveway-only rate. Old film that has to come off is the usual surprise, so ask if stripping is in the quote. Another question is whether the apron and the walk to the door are in the number. Call (904) 274-8546 to go over yours.
| Driveway size | Wash only | Clean, sand and seal | Strip old sealer and reseal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 600 sq ft | $180 to $300 | $1,050 to $1,500 | $1,650 to $2,100 |
| 1,000 sq ft | $300 to $500 | $1,750 to $2,500 | $2,750 to $3,500 |
| 1,500 sq ft | $450 to $750 | $2,625 to $3,750 | $4,125 to $5,250 |
The per square foot pieces come from one St. Augustine paver company's published list, read in November 2026: cleaning only $0.30 to $0.50, cleaning and re-sanding $0.75 to $1.00, cleaning, sanding and sealing $1.75 to $2.50, and stripping failed sealer first $2.75 to $3.50. A real quote can land above or below these numbers.
Should the sprinklers be off while the driveway is sealed?
Yes, and the timer needs more than a quick switch. Unilock says to turn nearby sprinklers off during sealing and curing so water does not mark the coat or get trapped beneath it. The wash before it needs a dry stretch too, and St. Augustine's roughly 118 rainy days a year mean the forecast matters. Tell the contractor about the zones that hit the drive when you ask for a free estimate.
St. Johns County's standard schedule lets landscape sprinklers run on set days and keeps them off from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A well fed system can also leave iron stains, one St. Augustine company says, so aim heads at the beds. To plan a clear window, call (904) 274-8546.
How often should an island driveway be washed and resealed?
One St. Augustine company says to reseal every 2 to 3 years near the Matanzas River or the bayfront, and about every 4 elsewhere. A third St. Augustine company says heavy-use driveways run about every 2 years. Unilock says three to five. The island sits at the short end, since salt and sand ride in on every breeze. To have yours checked, call (904) 274-8546.
Wash it more often than you reseal it. A St. Augustine company suggests professional washing at least once a year, and every six months in humid yards or near many trees. A hose rinse helps between visits. Ask for a schedule that fits your drive when you ask for a free estimate.
How does the driveway sealing process work, step by step?
The driveway sealing process follows five steps, and drying is the longest part. To book a week that works for the cars, call (904) 274-8546.
1. Walk the drive
The contractor measures the area and checks the apron, the turn near the garage and any spot where water stands.
2. Treat stains and wash
Oil and rust get a treatment before the wash. The wash stays near 1,500 PSI so the seams keep their sand.
3. Refill the joints
Fresh sand is swept in and compacted lightly, then the drive is cleared of loose grit.
4. Let it dry
A St. Augustine company allows 24 to 48 hours after sanding, longer in shade. The sprinklers stay off.
5. Seal, then keep the cars off
The coat goes on in one session. Vehicles wait 24 to 72 hours or longer, depending on the product.

Do I need to seal pavers in Florida?
No law says so, and sealing is optional. A St. Augustine paver company recommends it where pavers fade, go green or lose joint sand, and a local patio article calls sealing optional but helpful for color and life. A driveway sees tires and sun, so it is the surface that benefits most.
How much to clean and seal pavers?
A St. Augustine company publishes $1.50 to $3.25 per square foot, and another lists $1.75 to $2.50. On a 1,000 square foot driveway, the second company's example is $1,750 to $2,500. Failed old sealer that has to be stripped first runs $2.75 to $3.50.
How much does it cost to seal outdoor pavers?
The local published range is $1.50 to $3.25 per square foot to clean and seal, and the jobs one company sees most often come to $500 to $3,000. Size, stains, joint sand and old sealer decide where yours falls.
What is a good material for a driveway in Florida?
That depends on budget and taste, and this site covers pavers only. For a paver driveway, one St. Augustine company uses a harder film rated for tires, while it keeps breathable penetrating sealer for clay brick. Ask a contractor what suits the pavers you already have.
How long before I can park on a sealed paver driveway?
A St. Augustine company says vehicles can return after 24 to 72 hours, and another says about 48 hours. A third source advises keeping cars off for 3 to 5 days if you want to be safe. The product's own data sheet should set the number.
Can a pressure washer damage my paver driveway?
Yes. Western Interlock, a paver maker, says to keep pressure at about 1,500 PSI or less with the nozzle at least 6 inches away, because pressure can wash joint sand out. Ask the contractor what pressure and tip are planned.
How often should an Anastasia Island driveway be resealed?
Plan on every 2 to 3 years. A third St. Augustine company says heavy-use driveways run about every 2 years, and one St. Augustine company says every 2 to 3 years near the Matanzas River or the bayfront. Unilock's general figure is three to five.
Will sealer stop oil stains on a paver driveway?
The Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association says sealer can make surface stains easier to remove, but it does not make oil disappear. A coat also does nothing for a stain already in the paver, so the stain gets treated before the sealer goes on.
Should the sprinklers be off when a driveway is sealed?
Yes. Unilock says to turn nearby sprinklers off during sealing and curing so water does not leave marks or get trapped under the coat. St. Johns County's standard schedule keeps landscape watering off between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on any day.
What does driveway paver sealing cost on Anastasia Island?
At the published range, a 600 square foot driveway comes to roughly $900 to $1,950 to clean and seal. A 1,000 square foot driveway with failed sealer to strip first runs about $2,750 to $3,500.
