Travertine and limestone pavers are porous natural stone that discolors quickly without sealing. We clean and seal in a single visit. ![Before Naples Paver Driveway Algae Weeds Faded](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Paver-Weed-Growth-Clean-vs.-Re-Sand-vs.-Seal.webp)Before ![After Naples Paver Driveway Cleaned Sealed Restored](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/How-To-Seal-Pavers.webp)After Paver Cleaning · Re-Sand · Sealing — Full Package Paver Driveway — Full Clean, Re-Sand & Seal Restoration Naples paver driveway with algae growth across all surfaces, weed intrusion through joint sand, and significant UV-faded color.

A driveway is rarely dirty with one thing. Most carry a mix of algae, tire marks, oil, rust and leaf stains, and each of those behaves differently under cleaning. This guide explains how to read the photos above stain by stain, and how to take your own so a quote can be accurate. ### Check whether the after photo is wet or dry Wet concrete and wet pavers look darker and richer than dry ones, and wet surfaces hide light haze and faint shadows of old stains. An after photo taken minutes after the rinse can flatter a job. The fair comparison is a dry surface in similar light. When you look at any gallery, ours included, check for standing water, a dark sheen or wet joints in the after shot. If you are comparing quotes, ask each company for a dry after photo of a similar job. ### What each stain should look like afterward Green and black growth from algae and mildew should be gone from the surface and from the edges along the lawn and the garage door, where it tends to start. If the after photo shows a clean center with dark strips at the edges, the edges were skipped or not treated long enough. Orange and brown streaks near sprinklers are usually iron, not dirt. The UF/IFAS Florida-Friendly Landscaping program notes that most Florida well water is high in iron and that high-iron irrigation water can leave orange streaks on building surfaces. Iron stains need a dedicated rust treatment rather than more pressure, and they return if the sprinkler keeps spraying the same water on the drive. A good after photo of an iron-stained drive should show the streaks gone and, ideally, the sprinkler head adjusted. Oil is the stain most often oversold. Fresh drips usually lift well with a degreaser and hot water, but oil that has sat for years in a porous surface may only lighten. If a gallery shows every old oil spot vanished on every job, ask how long the stains had been there. We say before we start whether a stain is likely to come out or only fade. Brown shadows under oaks and other trees are tannin stains from leaves. They are common on light concrete and on travertine, and they need a treatment made for organic staining. If the after photo still shows leaf-shaped marks, the tannin was washed but not treated. ### Pavers: look at the joints, not just the faces On a paver drive, the joints tell you more than the paver faces. After cleaning, joints should be either intact or refilled; open, empty joints in an after photo mean sand was washed out and not replaced. When polymeric sand goes back in, Alliance Gator's instructions call for a completely dry surface and for the sand to finish about an eighth of an inch below the top of the paver. A thin white haze that shows up afterward is something Alliance attributes to high humidity or damp pavers at installation, and it can be removed with an efflorescence cleaner or hot water. A well-finished job removes that haze before any sealer goes on. Sealed pavers also need time before the photo means much. SEK's SB-6000 wet-look sealer, for example, allows foot and vehicle traffic after 24 hours but lists a full cure at seven days. A photo of fresh sealer shows the finish at its glossiest; the real test is how it looks a few weeks later. ### Taking your own before photos for a quote Four photos are usually enough: one from the street showing the whole drive, one from the garage looking out, and close-ups of the worst stain and of the joints if it is a paver drive. Take them on a dry day in daylight, and include a shoe or a coin in the close-ups so we can judge the size. Tell us if the home uses well water or reclaimed water for irrigation, how long any oil stain has been there, and whether the pavers have ever been sealed. Paver re-sanding up to 400 square feet starts from $199, cleaning plus re-sanding from $349, and a standard driveway clean, sand and seal from $599, with large drives and motor courts from $799. ❓ Frequently Asked QuestionsDriveway Cleaning · Naples FL How long do driveway cleaning results last in Naples?Concrete driveways typically 12 to 18 months. Sealed paver driveways stay clean longer than unsealed — sealing creates a barrier that algae cannot penetrate as easily, extending the clean period significantly. Heavily shaded driveways reaccumulate faster regardless of surface type. Can you remove old oil stains from concrete driveways?Yes — we use hot-water equipment with degreaser pre-treatment on all oil staining areas. Results depend on how long the oil has been present and how deeply it has penetrated. Fresh oil stains (under 6 months) remove more completely than long-set stains. We assess every job before quoting. Is it worth sealing pavers after cleaning?Yes for most Naples paver driveways and pool decks. Sealing after cleaning protects against algae recolonization, tannin staining from tree debris, weed growth in joints, and oil penetration. Sealed pavers stay cleaner significantly longer and require less frequent professional cleaning. We clean and seal in a single visit. How much does driveway cleaning cost in Naples FL?Concrete and paver driveway cleaning is priced by size and condition. Cleaning plus sealing starts at $599. We are consistently 15 to 30 percent less than the competition.
