something that i discovered about a week ago, skip the surface cleaner. Just use a turbo nozzle from start to finish and it rips all the weeds and moss out of the cracks from a single quick pass. I was punching myself for not trying a turbo nozzle sooner, saved me actual hours on a big paver driveway.
Yep I just use my turbo nozzle. Won't find me wasting time hand pulling unless the weeds and grass are THAT bad... which they shouldn't be if the pavers are properly maintained
The problem I have found is doing this way it blasts so much sand out, that it can actually sink some pavers after doing it multiple times…but I still do it 😂
Great video bro, love the sh for weed killer, im like a 11th grader waiting to go to hs prom with this expo coming up, honestly im excited I get to meet my mentors in person so blessed, hope everyone can make it.
Can this all be done in one day? I was told that you need to wait (and let it fully dry) before you seal it! I would love to do the job in just a few hours as opposed to a two day process. Not sure if I missed you saying how long the process took or not. Thanks!
How much would one charge just to wash the pavers. Where I live folks mostly just want them washed and I'm curious what to charge. Also if one was to do the wash sand then seal what would the whole project be. This would be a great addition to surface cleaning. Just not sure how to charge
Does the patio get slippery after you seal it. I have a similar patio and the pool is next to it. I would love to seal it, but I don't want anyone falling and getting hurt.
I have a question ? I surface cleaned a paver driveway,.I noticed I took off some sand because I have a 4gpm at 4000psi system, was I suppose.to apply sand back in it ?
Hey Jason I have a tip to make this job more efficient for you. Believe it or not I used a 2100 PSI 1.2GPM Electric (LOL!) machine to do the same amount of surface at my house. I got all the grass and weeds out of my patio and cleaned most of the grime with a turbo nozzle alone. First I sprayed SH everywhere, then I used the turbo nozzle on the cracks. Finally I finished off all the rest of the stains with the surface cleaner So yeah the take away from my experience is that it would be more efficient just use a turbo nozzle on the cracks and then finish with surface cleaner. Might even be better to do SH last and just let it sit in all the cleaned away cracks then come back hours later to rinse it off so the greens are killed for sure.
Only problem I have with the turbo nozzle is sometimes they don't get the weeds out. You cut them off at the top but if you look down into the rates are still there
I think brooming more off then using the blower is a better technique because you had to let it dry again before you went back and took off more deposited sand.
Hey Jason, just watched some of your videos for the first time and was pretty pleased with the step by step process. Keep up the good work! Was curious on how much you bid out the patio sealing job without the house washing included?
Hi ! My contractor sanded and didn’t use a leaf blower only a hose to remove the excess sand. Now I have a haze over my pavers :( What can I do to safely remove the haze and restore the red color? It’s settled in several days now.
Not much of anything. Other than stripping it and redoing it. That stinks for you. But honestly there's not much you can do about it. This is because I didn't take their time and know what they were doing
Are your tshirts bleach resistant. Where can I get sublimation printed shirts that are bleach resistant with a company logo I've found a place in Canada called finprint but would like to find a place in the U.S. any help on this matter would be appreciated
no one will want to fork out for equipment if you only need to do this once every 3-5 years. Here is what you need: pressure washer, broom, sand, sealant, roller and a tray.
@@kingofpressurewash thanks, just wanna say your videos go over a great deal of questions that i had. Im starting up a side pressure washing business and didnt realize how much there is to know. I had a million questions and you answered almost all of them. Thanks again!
Hi,I recently made a concrete slab/stepping stone with broken glass for my mom.So to make the stepping stone "pop" and added protection I'm going to put a concrete sealer on it,so yes I would put it on concrete or paver stone.
If it's older even if it has been said you'll be fine. The one test you can see if it's still feels as if you put water on it to see if it will bubble or not or not
You can apply water and see if it beads up. You can also go look at it in the sun. If it shimmers in areas, you have sealer on it. Mike Kilgore of Trident has the best strippers I have ever used.
HELP ANYONE!!! I have a 4gpm 4200psi pressure washer I just got rigged up I’m almost done. Do y’all think it will be gravity fed or am I going to have to buy a pump??? Thanks in advance!!!
As an icpi certified residential paver technician never power wash..hand brush wash….sweep in blow off ..gently wet down ..and whoever built it did a bad job and those big gaps are a major red flag 🚩
I'd let the customer know it's going to take two weeks. Because I'm gonna spray the weeds with weed killer, then let it work for two weeks. Then when you come back they're all dried up and all you gotta do is knock them off with a weed eater real quick, then blow it off, then do the pressure washing and sealing without ever getting on your hands and knees.
That's such a waste. And risking killing the lawn even more than needed. Pavers are laid on top of a cement base. So the grass is in the pavers themselves. Take the time and do it right and make one trip instead of making a customer move their schedules for your method. Surface clean first to get all the built up things on top of the grass that can't easily be removed. Using hydrogen peroxide or chlorine will kill the grass spores, mold, anything bacterial. Then turbo tip out the grass. If you see any long grass pull it out and run through it again.if yousand the pavers correctly, not flush with the corners and no holes or empty joints it will be fine. Once youseal it and make sure all the joints are flooded with sealer properly. It will waterproof it and whatever remenant of grass at elect willrecienve no water or sunlight and die before it can grow out of sand and sealer.
@@MrPhatties it has a glue in it so when you wet it it hardens you have to be real careful and make sure all excess is off the stone or else it will stain
I cannot believe what I'm seeing. This guy is on his hands and needs pulling weeds but still the joints aren't clean. Bulging joints and Unfilled joints. This fella has not understood that you have to clean out your joints 1-inch before you put down any sand. I really hope he takes the time to understand that he needs a turbo nozzle and he needs to clean his joints out properly because what he's doing here is ripping people off and giving them a horrible horrible job that will not last. Will fail almost immediately. Glad he's using an interlocking sealer. That is a plus. But he is not properly installing the sand. He should not be wetting it down watering the sand. He should know how to sweep it off and get the sand down below the paver with a push broom and regular Brum. And then blown off the excess. I hope he gets better,
Bad advice to mix in the street or on your customers grass. You mess up the street and the grass and it’s not cool. The neighbors get mad at your customer and killing your customers grass is BS. Put a tarp down protect your customers property grass and plants cost money.
Making your employee crawl around to dig out grass and moss hahahahaha, to be a huge company you should really know what a turbo nozzle is. check them out might take the “suck” out of ur day.
My brother says we a lot drives me nuts. Why not use a torch for the top to kill weeds and then use a weed killer to soak. Less work well looks like you're doing the We part and the worker is doing the work. I was once told by this old timer you don't get a big belly by working hard You get one by saying weeeeee.
Hey, Jason you need to work on your presentation. Your presentation is bias and only addresses the side of the contractor, you, when it comes to making $$$ on the job! Your “CZcams”video should be informative to homeowners and less about the contractor protecting his backside in making money on the project! Speak more on what your proposal covers, so the homeowners expectation are aligned with your pricing. Leave out all the personal comments regarding your co-worker!
what a load of rubbish! you are using a leaf blower so how much does that cost? also, those sprayers cost £250 as you have to get one that doesn't block up with sealer.
I literally just put a bid on my first sealing job. This has been very helpful.
Awesome hope you get it

You got the Michael Jordan of sealer mixers right there!
Idk Deco Siliacast seems to be the Michael Jordan of seal product
Super good vibes. Thanks for the detailed info and guidance. you guys rocked that out!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Turned out great. How often do you re-sand pavers after pressure washing them? Do you have it as an upsell option or do you do it all the time?
With the sealer do you recommend going over it with a roller too or just spray it and leave it?
would you use a roller to apply the sealer instead of the pump sprayer?
Nice work! Great explanation 👌
Thanks for watching
Per SF how much should it cost to clean and seal pavers? What if I clean the pavers myself and resand?
Y’all must be pretty tight. Like Abbott and Costello up there. That look he gave you when you told him to start at the other end was priceless 🤣

with all of that SH flooding into the grass how does it not kill the grass around the borders?

Curious as to the model of your surface cleaner. If you don't mind sharing.
What a difference
Hi is there a way to make your pavers look more new, like a sealer. Would that brighten them up
Yes the sealer will help them look shiny and new

How would this job have been different if you used polymeric sand? Would you have been able to skip the sealing steps altogether?
Possibly a dumb question, do you use the same sealer for pavers as you would concrete?

Hi,I recently made a concrete slab/stepping stone with broken glass for my mom.So to make the stepping stone "pop" and added protection I'm going to put a concrete sealer on it,so yes I would put it on concrete or paver stone.

I used a special technique to prevent sand and dirt from causing any issues with the pavers.
How do you know if the surface has been sealed before ? Do you need to strip the sealer off ?

Where do you get Sealnlock in the greater Cincinnati area?
You put a shinny sealer before the sand has been totally cured, I don't know about that how will work over time
You should run the compactor on it after putting the sand, so it gets down to the bottom of those cracks vs sitting at the top.
Thats also whats the waters for
