The paver patios and walkways around Hockessin and Greenville take a beating from the shade and damp. Moss creeps into the joints, weeds push up between the stones, and the surface fades under a film of algae. Left alone, the joint sand washes out, the pavers start to shift, and what was a showpiece patio turns into a tripping hazard.
The fix is a full reset. We clean the pavers with a flat-surface cleaner at the right pressure, clear the moss and weeds out of the joints, then re-sand and, where it makes sense, seal the surface to lock everything back together and slow the regrowth.
The Full Paver Reset
- Flat-surface cleaning to pull algae and grime out of the pavers evenly.
- Clearing moss and weeds from the joints.
- Re-sanding the joints with fresh polymeric or joint sand.
- Optional sealing to harden the joints and deepen the color.
Why Sealing Helps in Northern Delaware
Our freeze-thaw winters are hard on unsealed pavers. Sealing locks the joint sand, resists weed regrowth, and helps the surface shed water before it can freeze and shift the stones. It also brings back the color that years of algae have dulled on Greenville and Centreville patios.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my pavers grow weeds and moss?
When joint sand washes out, the gaps hold moisture and seeds, so moss and weeds move in. Re-sanding and sealing after cleaning is what keeps them out.
Do I need to seal my pavers?
Sealing is optional but worthwhile in northern Delaware. It locks the joints, resists weeds, deepens the color, and helps the surface handle freeze-thaw.
Will cleaning damage the pavers?
No. We use a flat-surface cleaner at the correct pressure so the pavers clean evenly without etching or blasting out the joints.
