What paver problems show up most in St. Augustine Shores?
Pavers older than the paperwork
Homes in St. Augustine Shores began selling in 1970. A house that old may have gained pavers later, and more than one owner may have sealed them. That matters, because a water-based coat cannot go on top of a solvent-based one. The contractor needs to work out what is on the surface before picking the next product. A coat that is peeling, cloudy or patchy in St. Augustine Shores, or anywhere, is a clue that the old product needs attention first, and that step can change the price. With a median age of 57.2 in the 2020 Census, many owners here would rather get one clear written quote than guess, and that is fair to ask for.
Green growth on the shady side
A Florida town guide says green algae grows in shaded places that stay damp, such as the north side of buildings and under patio roofs. On a St. Augustine Shores lot, that points to the north walk and the screened lanai. Sealing does not fix shade. The contractor washes the growth off first, then seals clean pavers. Ask how often the shaded area is likely to need another wash, since that is where green returns first.
Joint sand lost to summer rain
St. Augustine averages about 50.64 inches of rain a year, with a wet season from May through October. Lost joint sand widens the gaps, which lets soil in and gives weeds a place to start. County soil maps also show ground that stays wet for part of the year. Washing pulls out the rest of the sand, so fresh sand goes back in before sealing. One Jacksonville paver company notes that pavers lose the grip that locks them together once the joints drop.
Rust marks from irrigation
University of Florida says most Florida well water is high in iron, and orange streaks often come from irrigation water that carries it. If a sprinkler head sprays your driveway edge, look for rust-colored lines. Sealer would trap those marks. They need treatment before the coat, and a turned sprinkler head helps keep new ones away. If you use a well, say so at the first visit, because that changes what the contractor looks for.
A new look that needs a yes
A summary of the St. Augustine Shores covenants says outside work needs written approval, and plans include a color scheme. A wet look can deepen the color of pavers, while matte keeps the natural look. It pays to ask before you choose a sheen. The contractor can describe the finish, and you check it with the committee. A quick call to the Service Corporation before the work is easier than a fix after it.
Do the older blocks near Deltona Boulevard need different paver care than newer Shores streets?
A little, yes, because the community was built in stages. Many early St. Augustine Shores homes stand in the first several blocks east of US 1 on either side of Deltona Boulevard. Deltona sold those first houses from model homes at Shores Boulevard and Palermo Road in 1970. Give the contractor a rough build year for your home when you ask for a free estimate.
Later building added custom homes, apartments, shops and restaurants to a plan of about 2,000 acres. The 2020 Census counted 4,196 households and 4,737 housing units, with 11.4 percent of the units vacant. Pavers on one block may be older than those two streets over, so call (904) 664-5908 and share your street.
The Shores is governed by a service corporation, and a summary of its covenants says outside structures need written approval. The summary does not mention driveways, so the rule for pavers is a question for the committee. Reading your own documents is the safe step before any change of color.

What does paver sealing cost in St. Augustine Shores?
Quotes in the region commonly land between $1.75 and $3.25 a square foot for a full clean, sand and seal. In St. Augustine Shores, what moves a job is the state of the old coat, how much shade growth there is and how many joints need sand. A long drive off Shores Boulevard tends to cost less per foot than a small lanai, since setup time spreads over more area. To get a figure for your lot, ask for a free estimate.
Stripping a failed sealer adds cost, because it takes extra steps before the new coat. Older pavers with deep gaps can need more sand than newer ones. A job with a driveway, entry walk and pool deck adds up fast in square footage. Call (904) 664-5908 and the contractor can explain how those pieces apply to your house, including which part of the job could wait for a later season.
| Paved area | Typical example | Clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 300 sq ft | Small patio or walkway | $525 to $975 |
| 600 sq ft | Two car driveway | $1,050 to $1,950 |
| 1,000 sq ft | Large driveway or pool deck | $1,750 to $3,250 |
| 1,500 sq ft | Driveway plus pool deck | $2,625 to $4,875 |
Math based on the $1.75 to $3.25 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 St. Augustine Shores?
Find out what is already on the pavers
The contractor starts with the surface. A coat from an earlier owner might be water-based or solvent-based, and the new product has to match, since water-based cannot go over solvent-based. Sunken or lifted spots are marked for repair first, because sealing locks in whatever is there. Tell the contractor if you remember who sealed it last, or if a receipt turns up in a drawer. Even a product name saves guesswork and can keep the job on schedule.
Wash away green growth and stains
Next the pavers get a wash. The contractor pays extra attention to the north side and the lanai, where algae tends to hold on. Rust lines near sprinklers get treated here, and so do oil drips under the car. Rinse water is kept away from walls and plant beds as much as the layout allows. If your yard has gardens next to the walk, point them out before the wash starts.
Put fresh sand in the joints
Washing takes out joint sand, so new sand goes in before the coat. Older pavers often have wide, low joints, and a few passes may be needed. The joints are filled and swept clean. This step is what keeps weeds from coming back between the stones. Bare joints also let rain carry sand out faster, so it is worth doing well.
Wait for the surface to dry
Sealer needs a dry surface, and the wet season in St. Augustine runs from May through October. The contractor looks at the forecast and at how long shaded spots stay damp. A rushed coat can turn cloudy or leave a white haze that stays for a season. Waiting a day is cheaper than redoing it, and the patience shows in the final color. On a covered or screened patio, the contractor may check the corners, where air moves least.
Seal in the sheen you picked
The sealer goes on in the sheen you chose, sprayed and then back-rolled, which is how a Jacksonville paver company says pros work it into the joints. Scuffs read sooner on a wet look than on matte. Quoted gaps between coats run two to five years at most companies. Plan on about a day before cars go back on the drive. Keep sprinklers off the fresh surface until the contractor says it has cured.
Complete paver services in St. Augustine Shores
Think of a Shores job as four hand-offs. The wash clears the surface, the sand fills what the wash emptied, the pavers dry, and the sealer closes it all in. Each hand-off waits on the one before it. To get timing for your own street, call (904) 664-5908.
Your driveway sees cars every day, while the entry walk sees shoes and the lanai sees furniture. A busy drive may call for a different finish than a quiet walk. Describe your layout when you ask for a free estimate, and the contractor can plan each piece.
Two choices come before any sealer touches a paver. One is the base, water or solvent, which depends on what an earlier owner used. The other is the sheen, and it pays to match the sheen to how the house looks from the street. Call (904) 664-5908 if you want help picking.
Rain shapes the calendar here. St. Augustine sees its wet months from May through October and its driest in November, so fall and early spring are the easy windows. Shade and lanai roofs slow drying even then. To lock in a date, ask for a free estimate.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What do you do about pavers that have sunk or shifted in a few spots?
- Do you cover my plants and landscaping before you start?
- Do you suggest a matte, satin or wet look finish for my driveway, and why?
- Can I see photos of pavers you have sealed near my neighborhood?
- Can you test a small spot first so I can see the color before the whole job?
- Will the written estimate list the square footage, the sealer and the price?
- What happens if an afternoon storm rolls in while the sealer is still curing?
What do sealed pavers look like around St. Augustine Shores?
Why local matters in St. Augustine Shores
A contractor who knows St. Augustine Shores asks when your house was built, who owned it and what you know about the pavers. Those answers shape the whole job. Someone who has never worked the grid may skip them. If you would like a contractor who does this kind of work around the Shores, call (904) 664-5908.
Local work also means knowing the covenants exist. A contractor familiar with the Service Corporation will tell you to read yours and ask about color or finish before you commit. That saves a second trip, and it keeps the finish you pay for in line with your rules. You can ask for a free estimate and ask what a typical Shores job looks like.
Weather matters too, since summer storms come fast and shaded lanais stay damp. A local contractor plans around both and does not rush a wet surface, even if the schedule looks tight. If your yard is shaded or your drive floods in a hard rain, ask for a free estimate and say so.
How did St. Augustine Shores get started?
It began as a Deltona Corporation project in 1970, planned by the Mackle family on about 2,000 acres south of the city. Sales opened on Christmas weekend that year from model homes at Shores Boulevard and Palermo Road, and one model was wrapped like a gift and opened with giant scissors. If your home is one of those early ones, ask for a free estimate.
The community sits about 4.5 miles south of St. Augustine, 8 miles from the ocean, with the Riverview Club, a golf course and parks with bike paths. Hartley Elementary, Gamble Rogers Middle and Pedro Menendez High serve the area, and about 4,196 households called it home in 2020. Close to any of these spots, call (904) 664-5908 and share your street name.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should you seal pavers in St. Augustine Shores?
Usually, yes. A coat keeps sand in the joints, which holds weeds back, and later cleaning goes easier. In a wet climate with about 50.64 inches of rain a year, that protection earns its keep. It also gives algae and stains less to grip.
How long will paver sealer last in St. Augustine Shores?
Coats here tend to last two to five years, going by what companies commonly quote. A sunny drive tends to wear sooner than a shaded walk, and a busy driveway wears sooner than a quiet one. Water that beads on the surface means the coat still works, and water that soaks in and darkens the paver means it is worn.
Why does paver sealing cost so much in St. Augustine Shores?
Prep work, not the sealer itself, takes most of the cost. Washing, new joint sand and drying time all take labor, and an older St. Augustine Shores drive can need more of each. Regional companies often post $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for a full clean, sand and seal. A job with a lot of stained or failed sealer can sit toward the top of that band.
Can a local contractor clean, sand and seal my St. Augustine Shores pavers in a single job?
Yes, a local contractor in St. Augustine Shores handles the wash, the new sand and the sealer as one job. They happen in a set order, with a dry-out in between. Ask for a quote that lists the square footage and each stage, so you can compare it with other bids and with the published range.
Do I need approval to reseal pavers in St. Augustine Shores?
Possibly. It turns on your covenants, and a summary of them says buildings, additions, pools and fences need written approval and plans include a color scheme, but it does not mention driveways. Check your documents or ask the Service Corporation, mainly if you plan a new color. A like-for-like reseal in the same sheen is the lower-risk path.
What if I do not know which sealer is on my pavers now?
That is common on older homes. A contractor can test a small spot, since a water-based product cannot go on top of a solvent-based one. Once the product is known, the right sealer gets chosen. On older St. Augustine Shores homes, that can take a closer look, and a small test spot can settle it.
What finish is best for pavers in St. Augustine Shores?
That depends on the surface. Matte keeps the natural look and hides scuffs longer, while a wet look deepens color but shows scuffs sooner. Around a pool deck, a Jacksonville paver company calls matte the safest finish.
Does the age of my St. Augustine Shores home change the quote?
It can. Early homes east of US 1 were built from 1970 on, and their pavers have often seen more than one owner and more than one coat. The contractor may need extra time to learn what is on the surface, and failed sealer must come off before new sealer goes on. Newer custom homes tend to have simpler histories.
Will my driveway stay wet after rain, and does that delay sealing?
It can. Sealer needs a dry surface, and shaded spots stay damp longer than open ones, mainly after the heavy rain the wet season brings. The contractor will wait for the pavers to dry through, which can push the date by a day. Call ahead if rain shows up in the forecast, and plan to be flexible.
