- Rebuilding a settled or washed-out base, or relaying large areas of sunken pavers. That is paver or hardscape repair, a separate service.
- Fixing drainage that floods the patio or washes out the joints. A drainage pro or a licensed contractor handles regrading and drains.

Before you book paver wash & seal
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Photograph the whole surface
Take wide and close shots of stains, moss, weeds, sunken pavers and open joints. The pro can estimate the prep and spot repairs before the visit.
Note the sprinkler and drain layout
Sprinklers aimed at pavers and downspouts that dump onto the patio keep joints wet. Tell the pro where water enters so they can plan around it and suggest fixes.
Choose the look you want
Decide if you want the existing color kept, deepened or given a gloss, and whether the area is near a pool. Share it so the pro brings the right sealer.
Clear furniture and plants
Move furniture, pots and grills off the pavers. Cover nearby plants.
Allow time for drying
Pavers must be dry before sealing. Ask the pro whether washing and sealing happen on the same day or in two visits, and plan around the weather.
Ask about the warranty
The paver pro posts a workmanship warranty on the profile. Ask what it covers, such as peeling or clouding, and compare pros before choosing.
Say where in Palo Alto you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park, and Professorville, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.

Avoid sealing in direct midday heat or when rain or cold nights are expected. In Palo Alto, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain.
