Your driveway takes more abuse than any other paved spot at the house. Cars roll over it daily, the sprinklers hit its edge and the sun shines on all of it. Once it has been washed, filled with fresh joint sand and sealed, the color deepens and the joints stay packed. Say how many cars it holds when you get a free estimate online.
Why do paver driveways wear faster than patios in Fernandina Beach?
A Jacksonville company's 2026 guide says driveways get the most wear of any paver surface, which is why sealer choice and prep matter most there. Add the local weather. Wikipedia lists about 114 days of measurable rain a year in the city and a July average high of 90.7 degrees, so the pavers get wet often and then bake. To ask about yours, call (904) 932-1301.
Dark patches show up where oil drips and where deep stains set in. A sealing company in the local map results says its cleaning step targets deep stains on driveways. Sealed pavers resist water, dirt, oil and stains, according to Unilock, which gives a drip less time to soak in. To have the stains looked at, get a free estimate online.
Are those orange streaks from the sprinklers on my driveway?
Often they are. UF/IFAS says most Florida well water is high in iron, and that it leaves rust colored deposits on whatever it touches. Orange streaks on building walls are a typical sign. A sprinkler that throws water onto the driveway edge can do the same to pavers. To have the pattern looked at, call (904) 932-1301.
The same page suggests testing the water through the county extension office. That matters for sealing, because a coat on top will not stop a head that keeps spraying iron. Fix the spray angle or the water, clean the marks and then seal. Mention the streaks when you get a free estimate online.
What should a driveway sealing quote spell out?
A good quote answers six questions before the work starts. A Jacksonville company's 2026 guide warns that anything under $1 per square foot usually means prep is being skipped. Use the list below to compare two or three quotes side by side. To start collecting them, get a free estimate online.
Square footage
The area should be measured, not guessed, since price is set by the square foot.
Failed coat removal
Stripping old sealer adds $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot in that guide, so ask whether it applies.
Joint sand
Fresh sand adds $0.25 to $0.75 per square foot there, so ask if it is included.
Sealer and finish
A matte, semi-gloss or high gloss look, and whether it is penetrating or film-forming.
Cure time and parking
How many days the driveway stays closed and where the cars go meanwhile.
Drying and weather plan
What happens to the date if afternoon rain moves in before the coat sets.
Will a cheap driveway seal last in Fernandina Beach?
Usually not. The same Jacksonville guide says a bargain driveway seal can peel, haze or fade within 12 to 18 months, and it compares that to a proper two coat flood system rated for three to five years in local conditions. Unilock adds that a whitish film can show up when moisture is trapped or coats are put on too thick. Western Interlock says hidden moisture in the joints leaves cloudy spots where the sealer did not bond. Ask how the joints are checked for dryness when you get a free estimate online.
Should the driveway be pressure washed before it is sealed?
It needs a wash, and the wash needs care. A Fernandina Beach cleaning company says pressure washing will not harm pavers but can remove joint sand from sealed and unsealed pavers alike. Nicolock says pressure washers can scar the surface and wash out bedding sand, and suggests gentle rinsing instead. Ask what pressure and tip the contractor plans to use when you call (904) 932-1301.
After the wash comes a dry spell. Unilock asks for at least 24 hours of drying after cleaning, and about 24 hours in cool shade. Polymeric sand needs a full 24 hours before sealing. A driveway under a live oak may need an extra day. To plan the order of work, get a free estimate online.
How long until I can park on a sealed driveway?
Longer than most people hope. A sealing company in the Fernandina Beach map results says the sealant sets in about a day and asks owners to keep off for three full days. Unilock asks for up to 48 hours of dry weather while it cures. For a household with two cars, that means parking on the street or at a neighbor's. Ask about the timing when you call (904) 932-1301.

Also thinking about the back of the house? The pool deck sealing page and the patio sealing page have their own numbers. Call (904) 932-1301 to price them together.
What if my driveway pavers have sunk where the tires roll?
Then the base needs work before any sealer goes on. Unilock says sealing does not fix subbase problems, and a Jacksonville repair company starts with an inspection for base failure and drainage. It lifts the pavers, rebuilds and compacts the base, resets the pavers and refills with polymeric sand. Ask whether leveling is part of the number or a separate charge when you get a free estimate online.
How often should a driveway be resealed in Fernandina Beach?
Plan on about every three years. A Jacksonville guide puts driveways closer to the three year mark. Unilock gives 3 to 5 years in general, with solvent-based products lasting 4 to 5 when kept up, and a Jacksonville repair company suggests 2 to 3. When water stops beading and joint sand washes out, the coat is thin. To book a check, call (904) 932-1301.
What do sealed driveways look like around Fernandina Beach?
Does a driveway estimate cover my part of Nassau County and Duval County?

What does the driveway sealing process look like, day by day?
Expect a day or two of work with drying time between steps. A Jacksonville sealing company lists a driveway at about one day, and another sealing company says two days. To set the days, call (904) 932-1301.

Pavers dry for at least 24 hours, and fresh joint sand goes in and gets time to set.

What else do Fernandina Beach homeowners ask about driveway sealing?
Do I need to seal pavers in Florida?
No, but many owners do. Unilock says its pavers do not need a coat to perform, and a coat is a choice about color, joints and stains. A Jacksonville company's 2026 guide ties Florida wear to strong sun, humidity, hurricane season rain and coastal salt. Driveways wear out sooner than any other paver surface.
Is it worth it to pressure wash a driveway of pavers?
Washing helps, with a catch. A Fernandina Beach cleaning company says pressure washing will not damage pavers but can pull joint sand out of sealed and unsealed pavers. Nicolock goes further and advises against pressure washers. Either way, plan to refill the joints afterward.
Can I clean, sand and seal my driveway pavers in one visit?
Not usually. A sealing company in the Fernandina Beach map results says the clean and seal takes two days, and Unilock asks for at least 24 hours of drying after cleaning. A Jacksonville company lists a paver driveway at about one day, so ask how your contractor spaces the steps.
Why is paver sealing so expensive for a driveway?
Prep takes more of the bill than the sealer does. A Jacksonville company's 2026 guide says quotes under $1 per square foot usually mean prep steps get skipped, and that a cheap seal can peel, haze or fade within 12 to 18 months. Cleaning, sand and the coat all take time.
How much does it cost to seal a two car paver driveway in Fernandina Beach?
A Jacksonville guide lists $1,500 to $2,800 for an 800 to 1,200 square foot driveway. A Jacksonville sealing company lists about $1,200 to $1,800. The $1.75 to $3.25 Northeast Florida range puts 600 square feet at $1,050 to $1,950.
How long until I can park on a freshly sealed driveway?
Longer than most people hope. A sealing company in the local map results says to keep off the pavers for three full days. Unilock wants up to 48 hours of dry weather for the cure. Ask where cars should go while the coat sets.
Why are there orange streaks on my driveway pavers?
Irrigation water is a common cause. UF/IFAS says most Florida well water is high in iron and leaves rust colored deposits on whatever it touches. Orange streaks on walls are a typical sign. The page suggests testing the water, so a sealer coat alone will not stop new marks.
What happens if the driveway pavers have sunk where the tires roll?
They need a repair, not a coat. Unilock says sealing does not fix subbase problems. A Jacksonville repair company lifts the pavers, rebuilds and compacts the base, sets the pavers back and refills with polymeric sand.
How often does a driveway need resealing in Fernandina Beach?
About every three years. A Jacksonville guide says driveways need it closer to the three year mark, while Unilock gives 3 to 5 years overall and says solvent-based products can last 4 to 5 if maintained.
