Fast, careful paver sealing help in Arlington
Arlington homeowners can get paver sealing estimates for driveways, pool decks and front walks anywhere between the river and the Intracoastal. A local contractor comes out, looks over the pavers and quotes the work for free, moss, sunken spots and all. When you request a quote from Arlington, a reply comes within 1 business day, usually much sooner.
Maybe the front walk of your 1960s home has gone dull and patchy, with moss in the shady corner by the carport. Once it is washed, re-sanded and sealed, the pattern shows again and the walk looks the way it did the day it went in. A carport apron or pool deck can get the same treatment at the same visit. Call (904) 694-6107 to talk it through, and there is no obligation to book anything.
Why Arlington chooses Paver Sealing Ponte Vedra Beach
Older lots, big shade and houses with real design history leave less room for shortcuts, so Arlington owners usually want someone who works nearby. To talk about your home, call (904) 694-6107.
Careful around older walls
Brick, block and painted walls on an older Arlington home need rinse water aimed away from them, every time.
A number before any work
Northeast Florida companies commonly publish $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot. Your Arlington estimate is free and carries no obligation.
A finish that fits the house
Matte stays quiet beside mid-century lines. A wet look adds shine and shows scuffs sooner on an Arlington driveway.
Repairs called out up front
Sunken or lifted pavers get pointed out at the first Arlington visit, so a coat of sealer never hides them.

What paver problems show up most in Arlington?
Sand left over from the old dunes
Regency Square Mall opened in 1967 on what had been sand dunes, a hint of what lies under parts of this side of town. The USDA describes the Ortega soil of Duval County as sand or fine sand more than 80 inches deep. When joints lose sand they widen and soil settles in, which means an Arlington patio can start growing weeds from the edges. Sweeping those weeds away does nothing about the missing sand underneath them.
Green film under old oaks
Tree Hill Nature Center on Lone Star Road has a 300-year-old oak, a reminder of how long big trees have stood here. Moss and algae generally appear on pavers only where shade is heavy. If your Arlington front walk sits under a thick canopy, the green will start where the sun rarely lands. Cleaning has to clear every bit of it, since sealer would hold the growth in place.
Roof water landing in one line
WJCT describes Old Arlington's mid-century homes as having sharp edges and sloping roofs. A roof like that can shed a storm's worth of water along one edge. If yours drops onto a paver walk, look for a worn stripe or washed-out joints right below it. Jacksonville's 52 inches of yearly rain gives that stripe plenty of chances to form, so it is worth pointing out at the first visit.
A flood line you can no longer see
During Hurricane Irma in 2017, a local reporter shared a photo of a flooded home on Clifton Road in Arlington. Pottsburg Creek also runs through southern Arlington on its way to the Arlington River. Pavers that have been under dirty water can hold a film long after they look dry. Sealing over that film traps it for good, so tell the contractor if your yard has ever taken water, even once.
Dips a new coat would freeze in place
A paver driveway on an older Arlington lot has had plenty of time to settle. One Jacksonville company says sealing over sunken or lifted pavers only preserves the problem. Those spots get repaired first, and then the whole surface gets sealed so the color stays even. Walk your driveway right after a rain, since standing water shows you where the low places are, and those are the spots to point out.
Do Arlington's mid-century homes need different paver care?
They often do, because the house sets the limits. Arlington is known for mid-century work by architects such as Robert Broward, Taylor Hardwick and William Morgan. Many Old Arlington homes date from the 1950s and 1960s. A glossy finish that suits a new build can fight with those clean lines, so ask for matte samples when you request a quote.
The Jaxson calls Arlington the city's first major post-war suburb, and landowner Terry Parker held 1,800 acres of it by 1959. The builder Pearce-Uible put up Arlington Manor, and growth took off after the Mathews Bridge opened in 1953. If brick, block or painted walls meet your pavers, rinse water needs care around them. Call (904) 694-6107 and say what your house is built from.
The Arlington Mod and More tour opens these houses to the public. A 2013 tour featured Geodesica, the round house from the 1959 Parade of Homes. If your home has that kind of history, you will want someone who protects it. A free estimate shows how a contractor handles the walls and beds around your pavers, so request a quote with no obligation.
What does paver sealing cost in Arlington?
Published prices around Northeast Florida commonly run $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. An Arlington lot tends to land higher in that range with heavy moss, empty joints or an unknown coat. Square footage still drives the total, so make sure every surface gets measured together. To get your number free and with no obligation, request a quote.
Older properties can add small costs that a new subdivision would not. Dips need resetting before sealing, and tight paths along a carport mean more hand work than an open slab. A flat, open driveway off a wide street is the simple case, and it tends to land lower in the range. Call (904) 694-6107 and describe yours, and you can find out where your Arlington job is likely to fall.
| Paved area | Typical example | Clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 300 sq ft | Small patio or walkway | $450 to $750 |
| 600 sq ft | Two car driveway | $900 to $1,500 |
| 1,000 sq ft | Large driveway or pool deck | $1,500 to $2,500 |
| 1,500 sq ft | Driveway plus pool deck | $2,250 to $3,750 |
Math based on the $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot that Northeast Florida paver companies published as of November 2026. Your contractor sets the actual price after seeing the surface. Repairs, leveling and stripping failed sealer are usually extra.
How does a paver sealing job work in Arlington?
Look at the house as well as the pavers
The first visit covers the pavers and what they touch, including brick, block, painted walls and planting beds on an Arlington lot. The contractor marks sunken or lifted spots for repair, because sealer preserves any dip it covers. If an old coat is present, its type sets what can go on next. Ask how nearby walls and original details on the house will be protected during the wash.
Clear the moss and old film
Washing comes next, with extra attention on shaded corners and along any roof line that drips onto the walk. If your yard has taken floodwater, say so, since that film has to come off too. Rinse water should stay off older masonry and painted trim. Green growth under Arlington oaks can take more than one pass to clear, and that is time well spent.
Rebuild the joints
The wash lifts sand out, so fresh sand goes back before sealing. Duval County's sandy ground gives washed-out joints little to hold on to, and open joints invite soil and weeds. Sand gets swept across the pavers and worked down until each joint is packed, and the surface is cleaned off. An older Arlington driveway with years of lost sand may take noticeably longer at this stage.
Let the shade catch up
A sunny driveway can be ready well before the walk under the oak. Dry pavers are the rule, so the shaded part of an Arlington lot sets the schedule for the whole job. A short, hard summer storm can reset that clock in minutes. A patient contractor waits it out and checks the low spots by hand before opening any sealer, even if that costs a morning.
Coat it and keep off
The sealer goes on in the finish you chose, usually sprayed and then back-rolled so it reaches into the joints. Ask how long to stay off, since one Jacksonville company says to plan on about a day before parking. Companies commonly quote Arlington owners two to five years between coats. Heavy shade or daily tires can put your Arlington pavers toward the shorter end of that span.
Complete paver services in Arlington
Sealing an Arlington driveway is a four-part job. First comes a wash that clears moss and old grime, then new sand in the joints, then drying time, then the sealer itself. Skipping a step shows up later as haze or weeds, and neither one is cheap to undo. Before you book, request a quote and ask how the contractor handles each part on an older lot.
Carports, front walks and pool decks each bring their own trouble here. A shaded walk grows green first, and a carport apron takes oil spots and tire marks that have to come up before sealing. A pool deck adds wet feet and furniture legs to the mix. If your Arlington home has more than one of these, call (904) 694-6107 and list them so the quote covers everything.
Water-based and solvent-based sealers do not mix, since water-based cannot go over solvent-based. On a house this age a past owner may have used almost anything, so the old coat comes first in the decision. Matte tends to sit better beside mid-century design than gloss does, though that part is your call. To talk through finishes for your Arlington home, request a quote.
Most Jacksonville rain falls from May to September, in short, hard bursts, and the coat only goes down on dry pavers. Big oaks slow the drying even more, so a shaded Arlington walk may need longer than the open driveway beside it. A contractor may split the work across days for that reason. Call (904) 694-6107 to find a date that suits your yard.
Questions to ask before you hire
- How do you keep the new sand from washing out?
- What brand of sealer do you plan to use on my pavers?
- When can I put my car back on the driveway?
- Are the power washing and joint sand covered in your quote?
- Can you do a test patch before you start?
- If I spot a problem next month, how do I reach you?
- Can I see wet look and matte samples before I choose?
Why local matters in Arlington
A contractor who knows Arlington expects mid-century walls, sloping rooflines and oaks older than the street. That shapes the rinse plan and the drying time before anyone unrolls a hose. Someone used to new tract homes may not think about those details until water is already on the wall. To reach a contractor familiar with this side of the river, call (904) 694-6107.
Water history matters here as well. Clifton Road took flooding during Irma, and Pottsburg Creek runs through southern Arlington on its way to the Arlington River. A contractor who works nearby will ask whether your lot has ever held water before planning the cleaning. You can request a quote and bring that up at the free visit.
Arlington also covers a lot of ground, from Old Arlington to lots out toward the Intracoastal. Sun, shade and soil can change from one end to the other, so a plan that worked for your cousin's house may not fit yours. Asking how your street compares is a fair question for anyone you hire. Go ahead and request a quote and give your cross street, with no obligation.
Why does Arlington's building history matter for my pavers?
It tells you what you are likely dealing with, since Atlantic Boulevard was finished in 1910 and the Mathews Bridge followed in 1953. Arlington then grew faster than anywhere else in the city for two decades, and Terry Parker gave 30 acres for a high school in 1955. Pavers may have arrived later than those houses did, and a past owner may have sealed them with almost anything. If your home dates from that boom, call (904) 694-6107 and mention the year.
Jacksonville University's 260-acre campus sits beside the river, and Norman Studios made films in Arlington back in the 1920s. Tree Hill Nature Center keeps a patch of old woods on Lone Star Road, with Strawberry Creek running through it. Arlington Presbyterian Church, near Bruce Park, has hosted the architects' home tour symposium. Close to any of these, request a quote and tell the contractor your street.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost to seal pavers in Arlington?
Figure on $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot to clean, sand and seal, the range Northeast Florida companies commonly publish. Heavy moss, empty joints or an unknown old coat can push an Arlington job toward the top. Ask for the square footage on the written quote. A free estimate gives you the measured figure, with no obligation to hire.
How much does it cost to seal outdoor pavers at an Arlington home?
The same per square foot range applies, and every outdoor surface gets added together. A front walk, carport apron and pool deck can each be priced on their own line. That lets you drop one if your Arlington budget is tight. Ask which surfaces need the most prep so you can plan your order.
What pushes the average cost to seal pavers higher on an older Arlington lot?
Repairs and prep push it higher. Sunken pavers need resetting before sealing, and an unknown coat has to be identified first. Tight paths beside a carport also take more hand work than an open driveway. Ask the contractor to list those repairs apart from the sealing price.
Is it good to seal pavers in Arlington?
Yes, as long as the pavers are level, clean and dry when the coat goes on. Sealer helps hold joint sand in place, which matters on sandy Duval County ground. Under heavy Arlington shade, expect to check for green growth between coats. A coat that goes on over dirt or damp pavers causes more trouble than it solves.
Will a glossy sealer look wrong on a mid-century Arlington home?
It can, and that comes down to taste. Matte stays quieter beside clean mid-century lines, while a wet look adds shine and shows scuffs sooner. Ask to see both finishes on a small area of your pavers first. One Jacksonville company says changing finishes later means stripping the old sealer.
Can moss come back after sealing under Arlington oaks?
Yes, it can return where pavers stay damp and shaded. Moss and algae generally need heavy shade to get going, and a coat of sealer does not change the shade. Trimming low limbs lets in light and may slow the regrowth. A fresh wash before the next coat clears whatever has come back.
How can I tell when my Arlington pavers need a new coat?
Splash some water on them and watch. One Jacksonville company says water that beads means the sealer is working. Water that soaks in and darkens the paver means it is done. Companies commonly quote Arlington owners two to five years between coats.
Should flood-stained pavers be cleaned before sealing?
Yes, always, because sealer locks in whatever sits on the surface. After high water like Irma, the film has to come off and lost joint sand has to be replaced. Mention any flooding at your Arlington address so the cleaning plan accounts for it. Ask to have the low side of the yard checked first, since sand tends to go missing there.
