It has about 799 homes: single-family houses, attached villas, two-story veranda homes and low-rise condo buildings. More than half of the land is preserve, lakes and wetlands, and water comes into play on 17 of the 18 holes. That much water and woodland next to the homes is the main reason pavers here behave differently from those in a newer, open subdivision. Pavers near preserve and water dry slowly, and in communities like this algae commonly darkens shaded walks and pool decks and makes them slick. That’s a safety issue as much as a looks one. Shade from the preserve edges and mature landscaping means some pavers barely see direct sun in the morning. The surface stays damp longer after rain or irrigation, and that dampness is what algae needs. North-facing walks, the strip of drive beside a hedge and pool decks under a screened enclosure tend to darken first, often in a clear line where the shade ends. Recent listings show municipal and reclaimed irrigation. Where reclaimed water reaches pavers, orange overspray staining is common; we treat it before sealing so it isn’t locked in. Most homes here date from roughly 2001 to 2003, so the pavers have been down for more than twenty years. Many have been pressure washed several times without new sand, and each wash takes a little more out of the joints. By now it is common to find joints half empty, pavers that rock at the drive apron and grass growing between stones along the edges. Pavers laid in the early 2000s have also lost joint sand over two decades. Polymeric sand restores the joints, and a sealer closes the surface so algae and stains have less to grip. Proper re-sanding starts with a dry surface. Polymeric sand makers specify that the pavers must be completely dry, that the sand should end about an eighth of an inch below the top edge, and that it be compacted with a plate before watering. Where the old sand has broken down, it should be dug out at least an inch and a half, not topped with a thin layer. Humidity can work against fresh sand. Manufacturers warn that damp pavers or very humid air during installation can leave a white haze. On the shaded parts of a Cedar Hammock drive that may mean waiting an extra day for things to dry out, and we would rather wait than leave a film behind. Rain is planned for as well. Some current polymeric sands are rain-safe within 15 minutes to an hour after watering, while the general advice is to allow a full day without rain. In summer we finish in the morning, ahead of the afternoon storms that build most days from June to September. Sealer timing depends on the product. One widely used solvent-based wet-look sealer needs at least 24 hours after cleaning and sand activation; a common water-based wet-look sealer asks for 30 days after polymeric sand. We use the label of whichever product suits your pavers and book the seal visit in advance when a wait is needed. Temperature is the other limit. A popular wet-look sealer is meant for air temperatures between 40 and 95°F and a surface below 120°F. Shaded pavers rarely run that hot, but a sunny driveway can by early afternoon, so we seal the sunny areas first thing in the morning. Full cure usually takes about a week. Around pools, safety comes first. A second film-forming coat can make smooth, low-porosity pavers slippery when wet, so pool decks get a slip-resistant sealer and a light build. Sunscreen, pool chemicals and splash-out also wear a deck coating faster than a driveway, so decks are worth checking a little sooner. Where a home has a travertine deck instead, the stone needs a breathable product made for natural stone rather than a paver sealer. Villas and condo buildings usually share walks and parking-area hardscape that belong to the association. We quote those areas per building and work through the manager, staging the job so residents always have a clear path to their door. Single-family owners book their own drive, walks and pool deck directly. Pricing comes from our published list. Re-sanding a walk or patio up to 400 square feet starts at $199. Cleaning plus re-sanding starts at $349. A villa or condo entry up to 400 square feet cleaned, sanded and sealed starts at $399. Full service on a typical single-family drive is from $599. A slip-resistant pool deck seal starts at $499. Cedar Hammock is gated, and we arrange entry ahead of the visit. You do not need to be home. We need cars off the drive, an outdoor spigot, and irrigation turned off for at least a day after sealing. Each job ends with photos and a written record listing the surfaces, products and cure times. Safer UnderfootAlgae removal plus a slip-resistant sealer **makes pool decks and shaded walks safer** to walk on.

We cover nearby stucco and lanai screen panels against spray, then pre-treat the darkest shaded strips for algae. Step 2 ### Clean & Brighten A rotary surface cleaner works the whole area at an even pressure. Rust lines, oil spots, tire prints and leaf stains are then spot-treated so none of them end up trapped under the sealer. Step 3 ### Lock the Joints With the surface fully dry, polymeric sand is brushed into the joints, plate-compacted and misted section by section until it hardens, holding the pavers tight and keeping weeds and ants out. Step 4 ### Seal for the Long Run After the sand has set for the period its label requires, sealer goes on in even, thin coats in either a natural or wet-look finish. Most products allow walking and driving after roughly a day. Stains FirstSealing over a stain locks it in. **Rust and irrigation marks come out first, and only then does sealer go on.** ## 💰 Paver Sealing & Sanding Pricing in Cedar Hammock Typical ranges · Free written quote | Service | Typical Price | Notes | | ------- | ------------- | ----- | | Re-sanding only, up to 400 sq ft | From $199 | Walks and patios | | Clean + re-sand | From $349 | Joints restored | | Clean + sand + seal up to 400 sq ft | From $399 | Villa and condo entries | | Standard driveway clean + sand + seal | From $599 | Single-family driveways | | Pool deck sealing | From $499 | Slip-resistant sealer | Final pricing depends on size, access and condition.

It slows it significantly. Shaded areas still benefit from a light cleaning between sealer coats. ### Can condo walkways be sealed for the association? Yes. We quote shared walks and pool decks per building. ### Do you seal travertine pool decks? Yes, with a breathable penetrating sealer — see [travertine sealing](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/travertine-sealing-naples/). ### How soon can we drive on it? Most sealer labels allow foot and car traffic after about 24 hours; some water-based products ask for two to three days before vehicles. It depends on the product and the weather. ### Wet look or natural finish? Both are popular. Wet look deepens color and adds a subtle sheen; natural keeps a matte, unsealed appearance. Pool decks get slip-resistant formulas either way. ### How long does the sealer last? Three to five years, depending on sun, irrigation and traffic. A lighter maintenance coat at that point keeps the protection going. ## 📍 More Cedar Hammock Services Exterior Cleaning See every exterior cleaning service we offer in Cedar Hammock on the [Cedar Hammock service page](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/cedar-hammock-naples-exterior-cleaning/).
