Paver Cleaning & Sanding in Blacksburg, VA
Exterior Solutions provides paver cleaning and optional joint re-sanding in Blacksburg, VA for patios, walkways, steps, and other suitable hardscape surfaces.
What patio and paver cleaning includes
Joints and surfaces are pre-treated to kill moss, algae, and lichen, then the hardscape is cleaned with pressure appropriate to the material — full surface-cleaner pressure on concrete pavers, a lighter touch on natural stone and aged brick.
Edges, steps, borders, and seat walls are detailed by hand, and the surrounding lawn and beds get a rinse so nothing dries onto them.
Shaded patios in the New River Valley grow a slick biofilm that's genuinely a safety issue on steps and pool surrounds. Removing it restores traction as much as it restores appearance.

Why Choose Exterior Solutions for Paver Care
Pavers, aged brick, and natural stone do not all tolerate the same pressure. Exterior Solutions identifies the material, checks joints and edging, and adjusts the cleaning method before work starts.
Optional re-sanding is planned only after the surface and joints have dried sufficiently. The quote separates cleaning from joint-sand replacement so the scope is easy to understand.
Paver cleaning around Blacksburg homes
Shaded outdoor spaces in Blacksburg can stay damp after rain, allowing moss and algae to settle into paver joints. The cleaning method is adjusted for concrete pavers, older brick, or softer natural stone instead of applying one pressure setting everywhere.

What affects the price
Pricing is based on square footage, surface material, and how much organic growth has taken hold in the joints. Heavily mossed patios need more pre-treatment dwell time.
Joint re-sanding for paver installations is available as an add-on and is worth considering on any patio that hasn't been sanded in several years.
Patio & Paver Cleaning FAQs
Will cleaning blow the sand out of my pavers?
Some joint sand always washes out during a thorough cleaning — that's expected. Pressure is controlled to minimize it, and re-sanding can be added so the joints are restored when the pavers dry.
Can you remove moss and algae between stones?
Yes. Joints are pre-treated so the growth is killed at the root instead of just being blasted off the top, which slows how fast it comes back.
Do you clean natural stone and flagstone?
Yes, at reduced pressure. Softer stone like flagstone and older brick needs a gentler approach than concrete pavers, so the method is matched to the material.
When can joint sand be replaced after cleaning?
The pavers and joints need time to dry before new sand is installed. Weather, shade, and drainage determine how quickly the surface is ready.
How often do pavers need cleaning in Blacksburg?
There is no fixed schedule. Shaded patios beneath trees tend to collect moss and organic film faster than open, sunny areas, so condition is a better guide than the calendar.
