Florida's rainy season and hurricane season bring weeks of downpours. For unsealed pavers, that means joint sand washing away, weeds moving in, and pavers starting to shift.
Why Sealing Before Storm Season Helps
A joint-stabilizing sealer hardens the sand between pavers into a firm but flexible joint. Heavy rain runs over it instead of washing it out, so your pavers stay locked together.
Best Timing
Spring is ideal, before hurricane season begins on June 1 and before the daily afternoon storms. It gives the sealer time to cure in drier weather.
After a Storm
- Clear debris and rinse off mud and leaves.
- Check for sunken or shifted pavers and schedule paver repairs and leveling if needed.
- Look for empty joints; they may need re-sanding and resealing.

Why You Should Seal Pavers Before Hurricane Season FAQs
When is the best time to seal pavers in Tampa Bay?
Spring, before the summer rainy season and hurricane season start on June 1, is ideal. We seal year-round when the weather allows.
Does sealing protect pavers from flooding?
Sealing hardens joint sand so it resists washout from heavy rain. It can't prevent damage from standing floodwater or a failed base.
What should I check after a big storm?
Look for washed-out joints, sunken areas, and debris stains. Low spots may need re-leveling before resealing.
