Should you seal your pavers in New Smyrna Beach?

Why New Smyrna Beach is different

New Smyrna Beach is on the coast, so salt in the air works on pavers here the way it does in any beach town: it speeds up fading and lets joint sand erode faster than it would inland. That's the main reason sealing shows up more often in coastal conversations like this one.

17% of homes here have a pool and 12% have a screened cage. If your pavers form a pool deck or patio, that's regular sun and water exposure working against the color and joint sand.

The median New Smyrna Beach home is 1,595 square feet, built around 1988 on average. Assuming a whole driveway is pavers, a typical seal job here runs $1,125, and the middle half of jobs fall between $1,125 and $1,912 depending on actual paver footage.

Questions people ask

Do pool deck pavers need sealing more often than a driveway?

Pool decks that see constant sun and water exposure often wear a seal coat down faster, but the general 2 to 3 year range still applies.

Will sealing stop pavers near the coast from fading entirely?

It slows the fading rather than stopping it completely, since salt air and sun keep working on the surface either way.

Can I seal only part of my driveway if only part is pavers?

Yes, price is based on the actual paver square footage, not the whole driveway, so a partial paver section is priced on its own size.
