A stain is a clue about what happened to the pavers: a car, a sprinkler, an oak or a damp corner. A St. Augustine company says each kind of stain needs a different treatment, not one product for everything. Imagine the dark shadow by the garage gone, and the orange streak at the curb gone with it. Name the stain you hate most when you ask for a free estimate.

What stained my pavers? A guide by what the island leaves behind
Most stains on the island fall into six groups. Naming yours is the first step, and a photo helps. Call (904) 274-8546 and say which card sounds closest.
Oil, grease and tire marks
Cars and mowers leave dark shadows. A St. Augustine company says oil is best handled quickly, and tire scuffs usually lift once the grime is broken up.
Rust
Well water irrigation leaves orange trails at driveway edges, the same company says. Patio furniture and fertilizer can leave them too, according to a paver maker.
Leaf tannin
Oak and magnolia leaves stain porous surfaces after rainy weeks, leaving large brown patches under the canopy.
Algae and mildew
Salt, humidity and afternoon showers feed green and black film, which spreads quickest in shaded or north facing spots.
White haze
Efflorescence is a mineral deposit. A paver driveway near the beach can show it, and rain fades it over time.
Sunscreen and grill grease
A St. Augustine company names both and treats them apart from other stains. Pool decks and patios collect them.
Which stains come out, and which leave a shadow?
Fresh oil comes out best
Oil that has sat all summer can lighten a lot but may leave a faint shadow on porous pavers, a St. Augustine company says. Ring the number the week it happens when you can: (904) 274-8546.
Paint and mortar are case by case
The same company assesses paint overspray, mortar drips and fertilizer burns one at a time, with a spot test first. A paver maker calls mortar very hard to remove. Show the contractor the spot when you ask for a free estimate.
Small tire marks can mean a swap
A paver maker says that for small skid marks, replacing the affected pavers may be easier than scrubbing. That is a real option when a few pavers hold a stain nothing lifts. To learn if yours qualify, call (904) 274-8546.
Why does rust need a different treatment than a green stain?
Rust is mineral, and algae is alive. A St. Augustine company says growth is treated at the root, because blasting what shows leaves roots that regrow within a season, while rust responds to a dedicated rust treatment, not pressure. A paver maker adds that you find the source first, such as sprinklers, furniture or fertilizer, or the stain comes back. Ask what is planned for each stain when you ask for a free estimate.
One more catch: the same maker warns that a rust remover can damage sealer, so it tests a small area first. If your pavers were sealed, tell the contractor before work starts. To report that, call (904) 274-8546.
Does higher pressure get stains out of pavers?
No, finesse beats force on pavers and stone, according to a St. Augustine pressure washing company, which says crews rely on dwell time and even coverage. A paver maker puts the ceiling near 2,000 PSI on new pavers, because more can pull aggregate off the surface. Crews also avoid washing out joint sand or pushing water under the bedding layer. Ask what pressure and tip are planned when you ask for a free estimate.
A paver maker also says an acid cleaner slightly weathers the surface so treated spots look a couple of years older than the rest. That is why a stain plan should name the product. For the plan on yours, call (904) 274-8546.
Will stain treatment hurt my plants, pool water or sealer?
It should not, if the crew is careful. A St. Augustine pressure washing company says plants get plant-safe rinsing and controlled application, and a local paver company covers plants, screens and pool equipment. Island yards pack beds, pools and dune plants close to the pavers, so runoff matters. Find out where the rinse water goes, and what covers the beds, when you ask for a free estimate. A contractor who answers that plainly has done this before, and one who shrugs is worth a second quote.
Should the pavers be sealed after the stains are gone?
Often yes, and always after the stains. A Florida stone company says stone sealed while dirty or stained just keeps the problem in place, and a pool deck specialist treats efflorescence before any sealer goes on. A sealed surface also resists new stains better, the same stone company says, though sealer will not undo etching. Ask whether a coat makes sense for your pavers when you ask for a free estimate.
A St. Augustine company suggests sealing if the pavers were never sealed or it has been over three years. Algae comes back within a few months without protection, that company adds. Call (904) 274-8546 to discuss it.
What does paver stain removal cost on Anastasia Island?
No company near the island posts a price for stain removal by itself, and one St. Augustine company says it treats stains during cleaning. The table shows its published concrete paver rates for a wash, a wash with a seal and a strip. Deep, old or mixed stains can cost more. For a written price on your stains, ask for a free estimate.
Prep drives price more than product, and stains are prep. A rust trail along one edge is a small job, and a whole driveway of tannin is a bigger one. Ask for stain treatment as its own line and call (904) 274-8546 with questions.
| Job | Published rate | 250 sq ft entry or walk | 600 sq ft driveway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wash with stain treatment | $0.30 to $0.50 | $75 to $125 | $180 to $300 |
| Wash, sand and seal against new stains | $1.75 to $2.50 | $438 to $625 | $1,050 to $1,500 |
| Strip a coat that is holding stains | $2.75 to $3.50 | $688 to $875 | $1,650 to $2,100 |
No company near the island posts a price for stain removal on its own. A St. Augustine company says it treats stains during cleaning, so the rates above are its published concrete paver rates for the wash, the seal and the strip. Deep or old stains can sit above these figures.
When in the year should island pavers be treated for stains?
A St. Augustine pressure washing company says spring cleaning clears pollen and oak stains before summer moisture sets them in, and late summer or early fall resets the surface after the wettest stretch. Some homeowners book a winter touch-up before guests arrive. It also says to schedule ahead of peak summer storms, in a drier window. Tell the contractor your event dates when you ask for a free estimate.
Fall is also when hurricane season winds down, which runs June through November according to a St. Augustine patio guide. Call (904) 274-8546 to choose a window.
What is the stain removal process on a visit?
A visit follows the five steps below, in this order. The contractor tests first so nothing gets damaged. To book one, call (904) 274-8546.
1. Identify
The contractor names each stain by color, shape and location, and checks for old sealer.
2. Test
A product is tried on one or two hidden pavers before it goes anywhere visible.
3. Treat
Pre-treatments lift oil and growth, and rust gets its own treatment. Some products stay on for hours.
4. Wash
A gentle surface wash and plant-safe rinse follow, with joint sand checked afterward.
5. Review
The contractor walks the area with you and says whether a seal makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I remove stains from stone pavers?
Match the product to the stain and test it first. A paver maker says to try one or two hidden pavers before treating a large area. On natural stone, acid is the thing to avoid, since a pool deck specialist says etching stays. Call (904) 274-8546 and describe the stain.
Can I use Dawn dish soap to clean my pavers?
It helps on fresh food grease, and a paver maker lets dish soap sit 20 to 30 minutes on that kind of stain before scrubbing. It will not lift rust, tannin or old oil that has soaked in. For those, a contractor uses a product made for the stain.
How do I get stains out of concrete pavers?
Start by naming the stain: oil, rust, leaf tannin, algae or a white haze. A St. Augustine company says each gets a different treatment, and that rust needs a rust treatment, not pressure. Oil is easiest to lift while it is fresh, another local company says.
Is sealing your pavers worth it?
For stains, it can be. A paver maker says a sealed surface is easier to wash, and a Florida stone company notes sealer slows staining on stone but cannot undo etching. Sealing waits until the stains are gone. To weigh it for your pavers, ask for a free estimate.
How do I remove oil stains from brick pavers?
Move fast, because fresh oil responds best, a St. Augustine pressure washing company says. Older oil can lighten a lot but leave a faint shadow on porous material. A paver maker leaves an oil remover on 6 to 8 hours until it dries to a powder, so the job takes patience.
Which paver sealer holds up best in Florida?
It depends on the paver. A Florida stone company favors penetrating sealer for natural stone, and a Tampa company describes a two-coat system for concrete. Ask the contractor to name the product and say how it handles stains.
Why is paver sealing so expensive?
Most of the price is prep. A St. Augustine company lists cleaning needs, failed sealer and repairs as the things that move a quote. Stained pavers add treatment time before any coat goes on.
Who removes iron and rust stains from driveways on Anastasia Island?
A local paver contractor can treat them. A St. Augustine pressure washing company says well water irrigation leaves orange rust trails at driveway edges. A paver maker says to find the source first or the stain returns. Call (904) 274-8546 to describe yours.
Will stain remover damage my plants or pool water?
It can if it is handled carelessly. A St. Augustine pressure washing company says crews use plant-safe rinsing and controlled application, and another local company covers and rinses plants, screens and pool equipment. Ask how runoff is handled before the date is set.
