The Essential Guide to Brick Paver Care in Florida: Why Sealing and Maintenance Matter

Blog Article

Florida’s tropical climate means homeowners enjoy their outdoor spaces year-round—but it also means constant exposure to harsh conditions that can damage brick pavers. From UV rays and torrential rains to humidity and salt air, Florida’s environment is one of the toughest on outdoor hardscapes. This is why brick paver sealing and routine maintenance are essential for preserving your investment.



Florida’s Harsh Environment: The Hidden Enemy of Pavers


Brick pavers may look tough, but they are porous and vulnerable to Florida’s unique environmental factors. Without protection, pavers will:




  • Fade and lose their color due to UV exposure.

  • Absorb water, leading to mold, mildew, and algae growth.

  • Shift or settle due to joint sand erosion from heavy rains.

  • Stain from oil, rust, plant matter, and more.


If neglected, these issues can result in costly repairs or the need for a full paver restoration. Learn more about our paver restoration solutions.



How Brick Paver Sealing Solves These Problems


Sealing is the #1 defense against Florida’s harsh conditions. At Premier Coatings, we apply a professional-grade sealer that:




  • Blocks UV rays, preventing color fading.

  • Creates a moisture-resistant barrier to repel water.

  • Prevents mold and algae from taking root.

  • Protects against stains from everyday wear and tear.


For homeowners in Florida, we recommend sealing every 2-3 years. Explore our sealing process to see how we protect and enhance your outdoor spaces.



Why Joint Stabilization Matters


Beyond sealing the surface, the sand between pavers plays a critical role in keeping them in place. In Florida, rain easily washes out this joint sand, causing pavers to loosen, shift, or even create trip hazards.


We stabilize paver joints using polymeric sand, which hardens and prevents erosion. Our paver maintenance services include this essential step to ensure long-term stability.



Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal


In addition to protection, sealing improves your home's curb appeal by enhancing the color and texture of your pavers. Whether you prefer a natural or wet-look finish, sealing adds that "new" look to your driveway, patio, or walkway.
