Professional Paver Cleaning in Bradenton, FL
Restore the color and appearance of your paver surfaces with professional paver cleaning from Sunshine AquaWash.
Florida’s heat, humidity, rain, and year-round organic growth can quickly leave brick and concrete pavers covered with algae, mildew, dirt, grime, and weeds between the joints. Sunshine AquaWash provides professional paver cleaning in Bradenton, Palmetto, Parrish, Ellenton, Lakewood Ranch, and surrounding Manatee County communities.
We clean paver driveways, patios, pool decks, lanais, walkways, courtyards, and other outdoor paver surfaces using professional surface-cleaning equipment, appropriate cleaning solutions, and a post-treatment process designed to produce a cleaner, more uniform finish.
Paver Cleaning That Goes Beyond Pressure Washing
Cleaning pavers properly involves more than simply spraying them with high-pressure water.
Pavers are made up of individual units with joints, pores, and uneven areas where algae, mildew, soil, weeds, and organic debris can collect. Excessive pressure can disturb joint sand, leave uneven cleaning marks, or unnecessarily wear the surface.
Our professional paver cleaning process combines controlled pressure with cleaning solutions and post-treatment to remove buildup while minimizing unnecessary damage to the pavers and surrounding property.
We commonly clean:
-
Brick pavers
-
Concrete pavers
-
Paver driveways
-
Paver patios and lanais
-
Paver pool decks
-
Paver walkways
-
Courtyards and entryways
-
HOA and community paver surfaces
What Professional Paver Cleaning Removes
Florida pavers can accumulate several different types of staining and buildup.
Our standard paver cleaning service is designed to remove or significantly improve:
-
Green algae
-
Black organic staining
-
Mildew and mold
-
Dirt and grime
-
Organic debris
-
Pollen
-
Light tire marks
-
Weeds and organic growth between joints
-
Surface discoloration caused by accumulated organic matter
Some stains require specialized treatment and may not be completely removable through standard paver cleaning.
Rust, oil, irrigation staining, efflorescence, paint, fertilizer staining, and permanent discoloration may require additional treatment or may only improve rather than disappear completely.
If you are concerned about a particular stain, show it to us when requesting your estimate and we can explain what results are realistic.
Our Professional Paver Cleaning Process
Every paver surface is different, so we adjust the cleaning process based on the type of paver, amount of organic growth, condition of the joints, existing sand, and surrounding landscaping.
1. Surface Inspection
Before cleaning begins, we inspect the pavers for algae, mildew, weeds, loose joints, heavy staining, oil, rust, and areas that may require additional attention.
We also look at nearby landscaping, pool areas, walls, garage doors, and drainage so we can choose the safest and most effective cleaning approach.
2. Pre-Treatment When Needed
Heavily soiled pavers may be treated with an appropriate cleaning solution before surface cleaning.
This helps loosen algae, mildew, organic buildup, and embedded grime so less mechanical pressure is needed during the cleaning process.
3. Professional Surface Cleaning
We use commercial-grade surface-cleaning equipment to clean large paver areas evenly and efficiently.
Controlled pressure removes dirt, algae, mildew, and buildup without relying on an aggressive pressure-washing wand that can create stripes or unnecessarily disturb the surface.
4. Joint and Edge Cleaning
Edges, corners, joints, and areas a surface cleaner cannot reach receive additional attention.
Loose weeds and organic debris between joints are removed as part of the cleaning process when practical.
5. Thorough Rinse
After surface cleaning, the area is thoroughly rinsed to remove loosened soil, debris, cleaning residue, and displaced organic material.
6. Professional Post-Treatment
After rinsing, we typically apply a post-treatment to help eliminate remaining microscopic algae, mildew, and organic growth within the pores and joints.
Post-treatment can also help even out the final appearance and reduce visible surface-cleaner lines.
This is an important part of our paver cleaning process and helps deliver a cleaner, more consistent finish.
What Happens to the Sand Between My Pavers?
This is one of the most common questions homeowners have about paver cleaning.
Normal professional cleaning generally removes only a limited amount of stable joint sand. However, pavers with heavy weed growth, deteriorated joints, loose sand, or poorly maintained joints may lose additional sand during cleaning.
Removing weeds growing directly through the joints often requires removing some of the material surrounding their roots.
For that reason, we cannot guarantee that all existing joint sand will remain in place.
Please note: Sunshine AquaWash does not currently provide paver re-sanding or sealing services.
If your pavers require new joint sand after cleaning, you may need to have that work completed separately.
Do You Remove Weeds Between Pavers?
Yes, we remove loose weeds and organic growth from paver joints as part of normal cleaning when practical.
However, heavily weed-infested pavers require significantly more labor and may involve greater loss of existing joint sand.
Properties with extensive weed growth may require an additional cleaning charge.
Paver cleaning also does not permanently prevent weeds from returning. Weed growth depends on moisture, sunlight, joint condition, soil accumulation, and whether the pavers are properly maintained after cleaning.
Paver Driveway Cleaning
Paver driveways are among the most visible surfaces on a home.
Over time, vehicle traffic, dirt, algae, tire residue, irrigation, leaves, and Florida weather can dull the original color of the pavers and make the entire front of the property look neglected.
Our paver driveway cleaning service removes accumulated organic buildup and grime to restore a cleaner, brighter appearance.
If your driveway includes adjoining paver walkways, entry areas, curbing, or additional sections, we can include those in your estimate as well.
Paver Patio & Lanai Cleaning
Paver patios and lanais are constantly exposed to moisture, shade, landscaping, outdoor furniture, and organic debris.
These conditions make them especially susceptible to:
-
Green algae
-
Mildew
-
Black organic staining
-
Dirt around furniture
-
Leaf stains
-
Grime in paver joints
Professional paver patio cleaning restores the appearance of the outdoor living area while removing slippery organic buildup from heavily affected surfaces.
If your patio or lanai also includes a screen enclosure, we can often combine patio and lanai cleaning with screen enclosure cleaning during the same visit.
Paver Pool Deck Cleaning
Pool deck pavers spend much of their life in a warm, damp environment.
Water splash, shade, screened enclosures, landscaping, sunscreen, dirt, and Florida humidity can all contribute to algae and organic buildup.
Our paver pool deck cleaning process removes this buildup and restores a cleaner appearance around the pool.
When a pool deck is located inside a screened enclosure, homeowners commonly combine pool deck cleaning and screen enclosure cleaning for a more complete transformation.
Cleaning Brick and Concrete Pavers
Both brick and concrete pavers can be professionally cleaned, but every installation is different.
Age, previous sealing, joint condition, surface wear, drainage, and the type of buildup all affect the cleaning approach.
We evaluate the condition of the pavers before beginning and adjust pressure and cleaning methods accordingly.
Our goal is not to use the highest possible pressure.
Our goal is to use the right combination of cleaning solution, surface cleaning, controlled pressure, and post-treatment to achieve the best practical result.
Paver Cleaning Before Sealing
Many homeowners search for paver cleaning because they are preparing to have their pavers sealed.
Sunshine AquaWash provides professional paver cleaning only. We do not currently provide sanding or sealing.
If another contractor will be sealing your pavers after we clean them, let us know.
The pavers should be allowed to dry thoroughly after cleaning, and your sealing contractor should determine whether additional preparation, sand replacement, efflorescence treatment, or other work is required before sealer is applied.
Cleaning is an important first step, but we do not represent the surface as ready for sealing without evaluation by the contractor performing the sealing work.
Can Pressure Washing Damage Pavers?
Yes, improper pressure washing can damage pavers or disturb the joints.
Holding a high-pressure nozzle too close to the surface can create visible cleaning lines, wear the face of some pavers, remove excessive joint material, and produce inconsistent results.
That is why we primarily clean broad paver surfaces using professional surface-cleaning equipment and controlled pressure rather than relying on a pressure-washing wand alone.
Cleaning solutions and post-treatment also allow us to remove organic growth without depending exclusively on mechanical pressure.
Why Post-Treatment Matters
Pressure washing removes visible dirt and surface buildup, but microscopic algae and organic growth can remain in pores and joints.
Our post-treatment continues working after the primary cleaning process and helps address remaining organic contamination.
Benefits of professional post-treatment include:
-
Helps eliminate remaining algae and mildew
-
Treats pores and joints a surface cleaner may not completely reach
-
Helps improve uniformity
-
Reduces visible cleaning lines
-
Brightens the finished surface
-
Helps pavers stay cleaner longer than pressure washing alone
This is one of the most important differences between professional paver cleaning and simply pressure washing the surface with water.

Specialty Stains on Pavers
Standard paver cleaning primarily targets dirt and organic growth.
Some stains require specialized treatment.
Rust Stains
Orange or brown staining caused by irrigation, well water, fertilizer, metal furniture, or other iron contamination may require a separate rust-removal treatment.
Oil & Grease
Vehicle oil and grease can penetrate porous pavers.
Fresh stains usually respond better than old stains that have soaked deeply into the surface.
Oil stain treatment can improve many stains, but complete removal cannot always be guaranteed.
Efflorescence
White mineral deposits or hazy discoloration can sometimes be caused by efflorescence.
Efflorescence is different from algae or dirt and may require an acid-based restoration process rather than standard paver cleaning.
We do not include efflorescence removal in standard paver cleaning unless specifically quoted.
Paint & Permanent Discoloration
Paint, previous coating failure, chemical damage, fading, and permanent surface discoloration may not be removable through pressure washing.
We will always try to set realistic expectations before beginning work.
