How These Services Work Together
Most hardscape maintenance follows a natural order: power washing cleans the surface, joint sand refilling restores the structural joints, and sealing protects both going forward. If any of these reveal a deeper problem — pavers that have significantly settled, or a wall that’s shifted — that’s when restoration comes in. We can bundle any combination of these into a single maintenance visit rather than scheduling them separately.
What Drives the Cost of Hardscape Maintenance
Maintenance pricing depends mainly on total surface area and which services are needed — cleaning alone costs less than a combined cleaning, joint sand, and sealing visit, and restoration work is priced separately based on scope. Bundling multiple maintenance services into a single visit is typically more cost-effective than scheduling them separately, since setup and equipment mobilization are shared.
