Paver Repair and Sealing in San Marco
San Marco (32207) is one of Jacksonville’s oldest neighborhoods: 1920s Mediterranean Revival and Tudor homes, brick streets, big live oaks and riverfront properties along the St. Johns. Paver and brick driveways, garden paths and pool courtyards here are often older, shaded and tied into historic homes. When they lift, sink or come loose, start with a repair, then seal to protect it.
We’re Jax Exterior Cleaning & Paver Sealing, licensed and insured and repairing and sealing pavers since 2019. paver repair is our specialty, and we serve San Marco, Granada, Miramar, Lakewood and nearby San Jose.
Paver Problems in an Older, Tree-Lined Neighborhood
Live oak roots under driveways and walks
San Marco’s live oaks are part of its charm, and their roots lift paver and brick walkways into humps and trip hazards. We remove the raised section, correct the base and reset it flat, and we’ll talk honestly about options if a root is still growing.
Older brick and clay pavers
Many San Marco homes have clay brick or older pavers that can’t be swapped for a big-box match. We save and reuse your original pieces whenever we can so the repair blends in.
Narrow driveways and rear courtyards
Older lots often have narrow driveways leading to detached garages and rear courtyards. These settle unevenly over time. We reset them level and restore drainage.
Moss, algae and black staining in the shade
Heavy canopy and nearby river moisture keep pavers damp. We clean gently and seal to slow regrowth, without blasting soft older brick.
Riverfront pool decks and patios
Waterfront yards get more moisture and settling. We reset lifted pieces and seal pool decks and travertine with a non-slip, matte finish.
How a Repair Works
A free look first, about 5 to 10 minutes, and you don’t have to be home. Then we remove only the damaged area, fix the base, reset level, clean, re-sand with silica joint sand and seal.
Sealing Protects the Repair
Once the surface is level and tight, sealing locks in the joint sand, slows weeds and ants, and makes shaded pavers easier to keep clean. Our paver sealing has a 3-year sealer warranty, and repairs carry a 60-day craftsmanship guarantee.
Respecting a Historic Look
For older homes, a natural matte sealer usually looks most at home and won’t make aged brick look plastic. If you want more color, a wet look is available. Colored joint sand is an upgrade. We never use polymeric sand. If your street has historic or neighborhood guidelines, we can give you product details.
Repair or Replace? Usually Repair
Replacing an original brick or paver driveway loses character you can’t buy back. Most of the time, resetting the failed areas and sealing the whole surface is the better and cheaper choice. If something truly can’t be saved, we’ll tell you.
