Pavers Sealing and Installation in Marco Island, FL by Naples Premier Pavers Protection. Salt air and canal water eat at unsealed pavers here faster than almost anywhere else in Collier County.
What Marco Island does to a paver surface
Marco Island is a barrier island, and that changes everything about how pavers hold up. Salt spray off the Gulf and the brackish water in the canals off Smokehouse Bay work into unsealed joints and pull the color and grip right out of travertine and concrete pavers within a few seasons. Pool decks near Tigertail Beach and Hideaway Beach take a beating from sunscreen, chlorine splash out, and constant humidity, which is exactly the combination that breeds mildew and efflorescence.
Most of the housing stock in Old Marco Village and along the canal front dates back to the island's original development boom in the 1970s and 80s, so a lot of driveways and lanais are on their second or third paver surface. The Marco Island Civic Association and the city's own code enforcement pay close attention to exterior work on visible frontage, so installation and resealing jobs here need to match existing patterns and colors rather than just getting the job done.
Where we work in Marco Island
What Marco Island calls us for
Pavers Sealing
Salt spray and pool chemicals break down unsealed pavers on Marco Island faster than in almost any inland city nearby.
Pavers Installation
Canal front lots and strict civic association rules mean new installs have to fit the existing look of the street.
Pressure Washing
Brackish canal water leaves mineral deposits and salt film on driveways and seawalls that build up between storms.
Soft Wash
Screened lanais and stucco near the beach grow mildew quickly in the salt humidity and need a gentler wash than bare pavers.

How long does paver sealing last?
Two coats of Cobble Loc over clean, re-sanded pavers gives up to five years of protection. Sun, rain and how much traffic the surface takes all move that number, so we tell you where yours stands when we look at it.
Do you re-sand the joints or just seal over them?
We re-sand. The joints get color matched Trident sand set with the wet sanding method before any sealer goes down. Sealing over empty or dirty joints is why pavers shift and weeds come back.
