Pavers add beauty and durability to driveways, patios, pool decks, and entryways, but over time, they can lose their original charm. Sun exposure, shifting ground, stains, and everyday wear can leave pavers looking faded, uneven, or dirty.

Without proper maintenance, these issues can lead to bigger problems like cracking or instability. Professional paver restoration from Savon Pavers brings your hardscape back to life, improving its appearance, safety, and longevity while protecting your investment.

Common Paver Issues That Restoration Solves

Pavers are built to last, but exposure to the elements, foot traffic, and daily wear can take a toll over time. Without proper care, they can become unsightly, unstable, and difficult to clean. Here are some of the most common problems homeowners face with aging or neglected pavers:

• Uneven or Sunken Pavers: Shifting ground, erosion, and heavy traffic can cause pavers to sink or become misaligned, creating trip hazards and water drainage issues. Left unaddressed, uneven pavers can lead to more extensive damage and costly repairs.
• Stains from Oil, Rust, and Tire Marks: Driveways and patios are prone to stubborn stains that penetrate the surface, making regular cleaning ineffective. Without professional deep cleaning, these stains can permanently discolor pavers and diminish curb appeal.
• Moss, Weeds, and Algae Growth: Moisture and dirt buildup in the joints between pavers create the perfect environment for weeds and organic growth. This not only makes pavers look unkempt but can also make surfaces slippery and unsafe.
• Faded and Dull Appearance: Constant sun exposure can cause pavers to lose their original vibrancy, making them appear washed out and worn. Without proper protection, fading will continue, reducing the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space.
• Loose or Missing Joint Sand: Over time, wind, rain, and foot traffic can wash away the sand that stabilizes pavers and locks them in place. When joint sand is missing, pavers can shift more easily, leading to uneven surfaces and increased weed growth.

Paver Restoration Techniques & Practices

Restoring pavers is more than just a surface clean—it involves deep cleaning, structural repairs, and protective treatments to extend their lifespan. Our professional restoration process ensures your pavers look fresh, stay durable, and require less maintenance over time.

• Hot Water Pressure Washing: Using water heated up to 200 degrees, we remove built-up dirt, grime, oil stains, and calcium deposits. This deep-cleaning method is highly effective at breaking down tough stains while being safe for pavers when done professionally. Improper pressure washing can damage paver surfaces or wash away joint sand, making professional service the best choice for long-term results.
• Joint Sand Replacement: Over time, the sand between pavers wears away, leading to shifting and weed growth. We refill all paver joints with high-quality polymeric sand, which locks pavers in place, prevents movement, and reduces future weed growth. A proper application by professionals ensures lasting stability, unlike DIY methods that can leave gaps or wash away quickly.
• Paver Repairs & Leveling: If pavers are uneven or sunken, we carefully lift and reset them to ensure a smooth, level surface. This eliminates trip hazards and helps with proper water drainage, preventing puddling and erosion. Without expert alignment and compaction, reinstalled pavers may shift again, leading to more frequent repairs.
• Sealing for Long-Term Protection: A high-quality paver sealer enhances color, prevents fading, and protects against stains and moisture penetration. DIY sealers often wear off quickly, while professional-grade sealing ensures long-term durability and easier maintenance.

With expert techniques and high-quality materials, Savon Pavers restores your pavers with precision and care, ensuring results that last.

Key Benefits of Paver Restoration

Restoring your pavers does more than just improve their appearance—it strengthens and protects them for long-term durability. A professionally restored surface resists damage, requires less maintenance, and enhances the overall beauty of your outdoor space.

• Restores Color and Vibrancy: Over time, pavers can fade due to sun exposure, dirt buildup, and general wear. Restoration brings back their original rich tones, making your driveway, patio, or walkway look fresh and well-maintained.
• Extends the Lifespan of Your Pavers: Without proper care, pavers can deteriorate, crack, or become unstable. Restoration strengthens the surface and protects against future damage, helping them last for decades.
• Prevents Weed Growth and Sand Erosion: Replacing joint sand and sealing the pavers creates a strong barrier against weed growth and erosion. This minimizes the need for frequent maintenance and keeps your pavers structurally sound.
• Improves Safety and Stability: Uneven or loose pavers can become trip hazards, especially in high-traffic areas. Repairing and leveling pavers ensures a smooth, safe surface for walking, driving, and entertaining.
• Enhances Curb Appeal and Property Value: A clean, well-maintained hardscape instantly boosts the look of your home. Whether you’re preparing to sell or simply want to enjoy a polished outdoor space, restored pavers add beauty and value.

Paver Maintenance After Restoration

Keeping your pavers in top condition after restoration requires simple but essential paver maintenance steps. Regular care helps preserve their appearance, prevents future damage, and extends the life of your driveway, patio, or pool deck.

• Regular Cleaning: Sweeping away dirt, leaves, and debris prevents buildup that can stain or damage pavers over time. For a deeper clean, rinsing with a garden hose and mild detergent helps maintain their fresh look.
• Pressure Washing (As Needed): A light pressure wash every 1-2 years removes stubborn stains, moss, and grime. However, using excessive pressure can damage the sealant or erode joint sand, so professional cleaning is recommended.
• Sealing Every 3-5 Years: A quality paver sealer protects against UV damage, stains, and moisture penetration. Reapplying the sealer every few years helps maintain vibrant colors and keeps pavers easier to clean.
• Joint Sand Refill When Needed: If joint sand starts to wear away, refilling it ensures pavers stay stable and locked in place. This prevents shifting, uneven surfaces, and weed growth.
