Paver cleaning and pressure washing in Jacksonville
Green and black growth, brown leaf stains and orange irrigation marks are everyday problems on Northeast Florida pavers. Tell us what you are seeing and we will connect you with a local cleaning company.
Surface cleaners versus a wand
Most paver crews use a rotary surface cleaner, a round deck with spinning nozzles that cleans evenly without carving lines into the brick.
A handheld wand held too close can etch concrete pavers and blast out the joint sand, so technique matters more than raw pressure.
Expect a careful crew to follow up by rinsing debris off lawns, beds and the street.
Stains common in Northeast Florida
Mildew and algae thrive on shaded, north-facing walks that stay damp after rain.
Live oak leaves and acorns leach tannins that leave tea-colored blotches on light pavers.
Irrigation fed by well water often carries iron that paints orange streaks along the bottom of walls and edges.
Each of those usually needs a specific cleaner or pretreatment, since pressure alone rarely lifts rust or tannin.
Cleaning on its own or before sealing
You can book a stand-alone wash, but many homeowners pair it with re-sanding and sealing because the pavers are already clean.
If you only want cleaning now, mention it in the form so the company does not quote a full restoration.
Questions
Will pressure washing damage my pavers?
It can if the pressure is too high or the nozzle is too close. Ask whether the crew uses a surface cleaner and how it handles joint sand afterward.
Can rust stains from sprinklers be removed?
Often they can be lightened or removed with an acid-based rust remover made for masonry, but results depend on how long the stain has set. A well-water filter or treatment is what keeps it from coming back.
