Why is pavers & stone different in East County San Diego?
East County pavers fight granite dust and UV fading in the joints. Low-PSI surface cleaner pulls the field back to original tone, and we reseat polymer sand where it's washed out.

How does Lakeside's climate affect this service?
Lakeside runs hot inland summers (100°F+) with significant humidity influence off Lake Jennings and the surrounding water features, plus rural-fringe and equestrian-zone scope in the El Monte Valley and Eucalyptus Hills sections. The combination drives algae buildup uncommon for other East County areas.. East County pavers fight granite dust and UV fading in the joints.
What is polymeric sand?
Jointing sand mixed with a dry polymer. You sweep it into the paver joints dry, then mist it to activate, it sets semi-hard, resisting weeds, ants, and erosion. Done right it lasts 5 to 10 years. Done wrong (on a wet surface, or over-watered during activation) it hazes the paver tops. We do it right.
Will cleaning wash out all my joint sand?
Some, yes, and that's expected and necessary on a re-sand job. On a clean-only (no re-sand) job we use a lower-pressure technique around joints to preserve what's there. Either way we'll tell you before the wash what the sand situation is going to look like after.
