This homeowner is Parrish had no idea that we could restore his paver driveway like we did.

These driveway pavers in Parrish, FL had become black and moldy after years without maintenance. BIC Cleaning And Coatings was called to restore the look and protect the surface, using a focused paver cleaning and sealing approach designed for heavily soiled areas.

First, we applied a heavy presoak of mildewcide to the entire surface. That presoak was selected to kill active mold and mildew and to begin breaking down the dirt and organic staining that had built up over time. Applying the mildewcide as a presoak lets the product work into the joints and pores of the pavers, improving the effectiveness of the cleaning step that follows.

After the presoak had time to treat the mold and mildew, we pressure washed the pavers to remove loosened dirt, mold residue, and any leftover cleaning solution. This pressure washing stage cleaned both the faces of the pavers and the joint areas, leaving the surface ready for the joint stabilization step.

With the surface clean, we wet sanded the driveway using our hydrocompacting technique. Wet sanding packs the joint sand tightly between pavers while the surface is still damp, which helps prevent future movement and reduces erosion of the joints. The hydrocompacting method improves sand settlement and creates a more stable, even joint profile prior to sealing.

Once the joints were packed and the surface prepared, we applied SealThane Urethane Wet Look sealer. This product was chosen for its wet look finish, which brings back the richer color and sheen of the pavers. The sealer was applied after the sand was fully compacted in the joints so it could bond with the surface without trapping loose material beneath it.

The overall process focused on removing the mold and mildew, thoroughly cleaning the pavers, stabilizing the joints, and sealing the surface to restore the driveway finish. Restoring the finish with a wet look sealer returned depth and color to the pavers, while the compacted joints improve long-term stability.

BIC Cleaning And Coatings completed the project in Parrish, FL using this step-by-step paver cleaning and sealing workflow to address years of neglect. If you have moldy or discolored pavers, the same combination of mildewcide presoak, pressure washing, hydrocompacting wet sanding, and SealThane Urethane Wet Look sealer is an effective way to clean and restore a driveway surface.
