Is your paver patio looking a little worse for wear? Are those once-vibrant colors starting to fade? Don’t despair! With a little effort and the right know-how, you can revive your pavers and make them look as good as new.  We’re here to guide you through the process, step by step, so you can fall in love with your outdoor living space all over again.

Before we dive into the steps, let’s gather our tools and supplies:

• Pressure washer or stiff brush: The pressure washer is the most efficient way to clean pavers, but a sturdy brush and some elbow grease will also get the job done.
• Mild detergent: Choose a cleaner that’s specifically designed for outdoor use and won’t harm your pavers or the surrounding plants.
• Sand or polymeric jointing compound: You’ll need this to fill in any gaps between pavers.
• Paver sealer: This is the key to protecting your pavers from the elements and keeping them looking their best.
• Color enhancer or tinted sealer (optional): If your pavers are faded, these products can restore their original color.
• Safety gear: Don’t forget gloves and eye protection!

• Deep Clean: Start by removing any furniture or debris from your patio. Then, give the pavers a thorough cleaning with your pressure washer or brush and detergent. Pay special attention to any areas with heavy staining or moss growth. Let the pavers dry completely before moving on to the next step.
• Repair and Replace: Inspect your pavers for any cracks, chips, or unevenness. Replace any damaged pavers and fill in gaps with sand or jointing compound. This will not only improve the appearance of your patio but also prevent further damage.
• Seal the Deal: Applying a sealer is essential for protecting your pavers from moisture, UV rays, and stains. Choose a sealer that’s appropriate for your paver material and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Most sealers require two coats for optimal protection.
• Color Boost (Optional): If your pavers are looking a little dull, a color enhancer or tinted sealer can give them a new lease on life. These products are easy to apply and can dramatically improve the appearance of your patio.
• Maintenance Mode: To keep your pavers looking their best, sweep them regularly to remove dirt and debris. Pull any weeds that sprout up between the pavers and spot clean any spills as soon as they happen. Reapply sealer every few years to maintain the protection.
