Paver Sealing & Protection in Cocoa, FL

Most paver installations in Brevard County require a permit, especially for driveways, large patios, or any work that affects drainage. Permit requirements vary by city - Melbourne, Palm Bay, Titusville, and other municipalities each have their own building departments. We handle all permit applications as part of our service.

Paver installation in Florida typically ranges from $10-35 per square foot installed, depending on the material and project complexity. Concrete pavers are most affordable ($10-15/sq ft), brick pavers mid-range ($12-20/sq ft), and travertine or natural stone premium ($20-45/sq ft). Pool decks tend to cost more due to specialized installation requirements.

Pavers offer several advantages over poured concrete in Florida. They don't crack from settling like solid concrete, they're easier to repair (replace individual pavers vs. entire slabs), they handle Florida's heat and rain better with proper drainage, and they typically stay cooler underfoot. Pavers also add more value to your home.

Most residential paver projects take 3-7 days from start to finish. A typical driveway takes 3-5 days, patios 2-4 days, and pool decks 3-7 days. This includes excavation, base preparation, paver installation, and finishing. We provide a specific timeline during your free estimate.

All hard surfaces absorb heat, but some pavers stay much cooler than others. Travertine and shell stone naturally stay cool due to their porous structure. Light-colored concrete pavers reflect more heat than dark ones. For pool decks and barefoot areas, we recommend heat-reflective materials and can advise on the best options for your needs.

Florida pavers need minimal maintenance: sweep or blow off debris regularly, rinse with a hose as needed, and apply polymeric sand to joints every few years. We recommend professional sealing every 2-3 years to protect against UV fading, stains, and weed growth. Pressure washing once or twice a year keeps them looking great.
