If your pavers are starting to look uneven, darker in patches, or rough to the touch, it is usually not just “wear.” In St Augustine FL, salt air, frequent humidity, and seasonal rain can push algae and organic buildup into the surface. Once that contamination is trapped under the wrong finish, it can spread and make your patio, walkway, or driveway look worse instead of better.
The risk is real. Skipping proper cleaning before sealing can lock in residue, create slippery areas, and shorten the life of the finish. You also may notice joint sand washing out during heavy storms, leaving gaps that collect more debris. When you want a clean, consistent look, the prep and finishing steps matter as much as the product you choose.

That means you get a more uniform appearance and better protection for high-traffic areas like front entries and pool decks.
