Reviving a Classic Amberley Village Home with Complete Paver Restoration

When Kevin G. called Perfect Paver Co., his goal was simple but important: restore the natural beauty of his home’s long paver driveway, flagstone walkways, and travertine patio. After twelve years without maintenance, the driveway had weeds and grass growing between the joints, a large sinking area near the garage, and fading color throughout. He’d even tried backfilling with sand himself, but the problem kept returning. Living in one of Cincinnati’s most established neighborhoods—Amberley Village, just east of Pleasant Ridge—he wanted to protect the look and value of his property with a solution that would last.

Choosing a Trusted Local Team

Kevin first heard about Perfect Paver Co. through a neighbor who had recently requested an estimate. What convinced him to move forward was our reputation, warranty, and expertise across multiple surface types—not just pavers, but also natural stone and travertine.

Sales rep Scott walked him through our step-by-step process, explaining how our 230-degree steam cleaning system safely removes moss, algae, and mildew while restoring original color. Foreman Jake and his assistant were later assigned to complete the project, combining careful craftsmanship with the precision needed for a steep, sloped driveway.

The Restoration Process

Jake began by lifting and re-grading the sunken 10’x15’ section near the garage, rebuilding the base to correct the slope and prevent water from draining toward the home. The team then used hot-water steam cleaning to remove years of organic buildup from the pavers, followed by joint cleaning to clear deep-rooted debris.

Fresh polymeric sand was installed to stabilize the joints, lock out future weed growth, and reinforce the structure. Finally, we applied a penetrating water-based sealer to protect the surfaces and bring out the natural color of the stone.

For the flagstone walkways and steps, our crew used a lower-pressure steam rinse to lift stains and expose the stone’s beautiful tones of red, gray, and blue. The travertine back porch and paver patio were deep-cleaned, re-sanded, and sealed as well, unifying the look across the entire property.

The Transformation

When complete, the change was dramatic. What was once dark, discolored, and uneven now looked renewed and refined. The natural stone revealed its original hues, the pavers looked brand new, and the travertine glowed with subtle warmth. The restored surfaces not only improved curb appeal but also extended the life of each material—adding long-term protection from moisture, weeds, and stains.

Kevin’s driveway and walkways now match the classic charm of his Amberley Village home, standing as a great example of how a professional paver restoration in Amberley Village, Cincinnati OH can transform an entire property.
