paver cleaning polymeric sand in LaGrange

In LaGrange, this comes up on historic-district houses, college-side streets, and the larger lots toward Vernon Road and Callaway. LaGrange clay does not rinse off a driveway with a garden hose, and shaded brick grows a green film by late summer. Pale pavers show clay and mildew in the joints first. That is the part guests notice, and the part a careless rinse ruins.

January here is gutters full of oak, a porch that needs to look right for guests, and the odd jobs that got postponed all year.

Pavers themselves are often concrete or clay. The field can be cleaned. The joint is the fragile part: sand, or polymeric sand that has locked, or a joint that has already washed out. A turbo nozzle in the crack empties it. Then the pavers move, and the “cleaning” becomes a repair.

We pretreat organic growth and clay, clean the field with control, and ease off where the joint is the product. If polymeric sand is cracked and lifting before we arrive, we will tell you a wash will not save it. Re-sanding is not automatically included.

Sealing pavers, like sealing concrete, waits for a dry surface. A wet seal traps moisture and turns milky. We will not do that to hit a Saturday.

The full explanation, without the town attached, is the pavers: clean the field without emptying the joints article. The town does not change the chemistry. It changes the houses, the shade, and the clay.
