Professional Paver Cleaning & Sealing in Oakdale, Sayville & Long Island
Brick pavers, concrete pavers, and natural stone walkways are incredibly popular in Long Island homes — and for good reason. They add beauty, character, and value to any property. But without regular maintenance, pavers fade, stain, attract weed growth between joints, and lose the rich color that made them beautiful when first installed.
Great Bay Pressure Wash offers a complete paver restoration service: we deep clean every surface, remove weeds and organic growth from the joints, re-sand the joints where needed, and apply professional-grade sealer that locks in color, repels staining, and prevents future weed infiltration.

Our Full Paver Restoration Process
- Pre-inspection: We assess your pavers for condition, joint status, any sunken or shifted pavers, and type of sealer previously applied.
- Weed removal: We remove all weeds and organic growth from the paver joints before washing.
- Deep cleaning: Using professional pressure washing equipment and paver-safe cleaning solutions, we remove all dirt, staining, algae, efflorescence, and grime.
- Joint sand replacement: After cleaning and drying, we sweep polymeric sand into the joints to stabilize pavers and prevent future weed infiltration.
- Sealer application: We apply a professional-grade paver sealer — available in natural finish or wet-look gloss — that enhances color, repels water and oil, and protects against the elements.
Why Seal Your Pavers?
Sealing is the single most important thing you can do to protect your paver investment on Long Island. Here's why:
- Color enhancement: Sealer brings out the rich, vibrant color of your pavers — the same look they had when first installed
- Weed prevention: Polymeric sand with sealer creates a joint that weeds cannot penetrate
- Stain resistance: Oil, grease, rust, and other staining agents bead up on sealed pavers rather than soaking in
- Ant and insect resistance: Sealed joints eliminate the loose sand that ants use to build nests
- Freeze-thaw protection: Critical for Long Island winters — water can't penetrate sealed pavers to freeze and expand, preventing cracking and shifting
- Longevity: Properly sealed and maintained pavers can last 20–30 years

Sealer types we offer: We carry both natural/matte finish (maintains the original look without added sheen) and wet-look/gloss finish (deepens color for a dramatic, just-washed appearance). We'll show you samples and help you choose the right option for your property.
How Often Should Pavers Be Sealed?
For most Long Island properties, we recommend re-sealing every 2–3 years. High-traffic driveways or areas with heavy sun exposure may need sealing every 2 years. You'll know it's time when water no longer beads on the surface or when color appears faded.
Paver Cleaning & Sealing Pricing
Pricing is based on the total square footage of paver area. Cleaning only for a standard patio starts around $200–$400. Full cleaning and sealing service typically ranges from $400–$900+ depending on size and complexity. We provide free, detailed estimates.
"Our paver driveway in Islip Terrace looked terrible — weeds everywhere, completely faded. Great Bay came out, pressure washed it, pulled all the weeds, added new polymeric sand, and sealed the whole thing. The transformation is absolutely stunning. It looks brand new. They do exceptional work."
