Protect Your Investment with Professional Hardscape Restoration
Your patio, walkways, and driveway are significant investments that add immense value and beauty to your home. Over time, Oregon’s diverse weather, daily use, and environmental factors can cause fading, staining, weed growth, and structural issues like sinking or loose pavers. In the Portland Metro area, constant moisture can lead to aggressive moss and algae growth, while the intense sun and freeze-thaw cycles in Central Oregon can cause pavers to fade and crack. Neglecting this deterioration can lead to expensive repairs and seriously diminish your property’s curb appeal and safety.
Our Hardscape Doctor™ maintenance program is designed to address these issues proactively. We don’t just perform surface-level power washing; we provide comprehensive hardscape restoration to renew its structural integrity and protect it for years to come. Proper maintenance and hardscape cleaning prevent minor issues from becoming major, costly problems, ensuring your outdoor space remains a safe, beautiful, and functional extension of your home. Protecting your hardscape investment with regular, professional care is the smartest way to ensure it lasts a lifetime.
The Benefits of Regular Hardscape Maintenance:
Increases Property Value
A pristine, well-maintained hardscape significantly boosts your home’s curb appeal and market value. It’s an immediate signal of a well-cared-for property that resonates with potential buyers and elevates the look of your entire home.
Enhances Safety
We eliminate tripping hazards caused by uneven, sunken, or broken pavers. Our joint stabilization and sealing processes also prevent slippery moss and algae growth, making your walkways and patios safer for family and guests, especially during Oregon’s rainy seasons.
Prevents Costly Repairs
Proactive care stops destructive weed growth, which can displace pavers, and prevents water infiltration that leads to erosion and structural damage to the base layer. Addressing these small issues with our restoration services now saves you from a complete and much more expensive overhaul later.
Extends Lifespan
Our professional paver sealing, power washing, and hardscape cleaning services shield your hardscape from the elements. The sealant protects against UV-ray fading, oil stains, and water damage, preserving the integrity of the pavers for decades. This essential maintenance step maximizes the return on your initial investment.
Revives Original Beauty
Our hardscape restoration process can turn back the clock on your hardscape. We use targeted power washing and softwash techniques to remove years of grime and organic growth, restoring the rich colors and clean, crisp lines of your original installation and making it look as good as the day it was installed.

Our Comprehensive Hardscape Maintenance & Restoration Services
From a simple deep cleaning to a full-scale restoration, our team has the specialized expertise to handle all aspects of hardscape maintenance. As your trusted specialists serving communities from Portland to Bend, we offer a complete suite of services designed to protect and revitalize your outdoor spaces.
Paver Sealing and Cleaning
Our professional paver cleaning and sealing service is the cornerstone of long-term hardscape protection. We begin with a deep cleaning process, using low-pressure softwash techniques or professional power washing depending on the surface type and condition. Our team uses specialized equipment and eco-friendly cleaners to remove years of built-up dirt, grime, moss, algae, and tough stains. Once the surface is pristine, we apply a high-quality, penetrating sealant. This is not a topical coating; it soaks into the paver to create a durable protective barrier. This vital step in hardscape maintenance protects against future damage, inhibits weed and moss growth in the joints, makes future cleanups easier, and dramatically enhances the natural color and texture of your pavers. This service is crucial for hardscape longevity, whether battling the constant Portland rain or the intense Central Oregon sun.
Paver Joint Re-sanding
The sand in the joints between your pavers is the glue that holds the entire system together, providing essential interlock and stability. Over time, rain, wind, and even improper power washing can erode this sand, leading to wobbly pavers, weed infestations, and ant hills. Our team meticulously cleans out the old, failed material from the joints and refills them with high-grade polymeric sand. Unlike regular sand, polymeric sand contains a special binding agent that activates with water, hardening to lock pavers securely in place. This creates a durable, flexible bond that prevents weed growth from below, resists erosion from rain, and deters burrowing insects.
Hardscape & Paver Repair and Restoration
Are your pavers sinking, cracked, or heaving up to create dangerous trip hazards? These are often symptoms of a failing base layer beneath the pavers. Our team provides expert paver repair and restoration in Bend, Oregon, and throughout the Portland Metro area. We address the root cause of the problem for a permanent solution, not just a cosmetic fix. Our process involves carefully removing the affected pavers, excavating the area, and then rebuilding and re-compacting the base material to proper specifications. We then reinstall the pavers, ensuring they are level and secure, and finish by sanding the joints. We can level sunken areas, replace individual broken stones, and ensure your entire surface is stable, safe, and beautiful once more.
Comprehensive Hardscape Inspections
Not sure what your hardscape needs to look its best? Our comprehensive Hardscape Doctor™ inspection is the perfect place to start. A specialist will conduct a thorough, multi-point assessment of your patio, walkway, driveway, or retaining wall. We evaluate drainage performance, the condition of the paver joints, structural integrity, surface condition, and look for early signs of failure like efflorescence (white, chalky deposits) or shifting edges. Following the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report of our findings and a clear, prioritized plan for restoration and maintenance. This empowers you to make informed decisions about protecting your investment.

Why We Exclusively Use Techniseal Products
A flawless restoration depends on both expert technique and superior products. That’s why the Hardscape Doctor™ exclusively uses Techniseal, an industry leader with nearly 40 years of innovation in hardscape maintenance and protection. Their “total hardscape solution” provides a complete system of products engineered to work together, ensuring the results of our hardscape cleaning, repair, and restoration last for years.
Advanced Jointing Compounds
We use Techniseal’s high-performance polymeric sands, like their industry-leading NextGel™ series. This isn’t just sand; it’s a powerful stabilizer that hardens to lock pavers together, preventing shifting, deterring weed growth from below, and resisting erosion far better than standard jointing sand.
Targeted Cleaning Solutions
Effective hardscape cleaning isn’t one-size-fits-all. Techniseal provides a professional suite of specialized cleaners—from organic stain removers for moss and mildew to powerful preparations that lift oil, rust, and efflorescence. This allows us to use the precise solution for your specific issue without damaging the paver surface.
Premium Protective Sealers
The final step of our restoration process involves applying a high-quality Techniseal sealer. These penetrating formulas protect your investment from UV fading, water damage, and stains. With options ranging from a natural, matte finish to a color-boosting wet look, we can preserve or enhance the beauty of your hardscape while adding a durable layer of protection.
By pairing our decades of field experience with Techniseal’s proven product line, we deliver hardscape restoration that doesn’t just look good on day one—it’s built to withstand Oregon’s elements.

Why Homeowners Trust the Hardscape Doctor™
At Landworks NW, we launched the Hardscape Doctor™ service because we identified a critical, unmet need in our community. Homeowners throughout Central Oregon and the Portland Metro area invest thousands of dollars in beautiful, custom hardscapes, but professional maintenance is often an afterthought, leading to premature aging and costly damage. With over 25 years of hands-on experience in the design/build landscape industry, our founder, Dan, understands every layer of a hardscape project—from the crucial sub-base foundation to the protective final seal coat.
This unique, comprehensive perspective allows us to diagnose and treat underlying issues that surface-level cleaning companies might miss or ignore. We aren’t just a power washing service; we are true hardscape restoration specialists. We understand that a sinking paver isn’t the problem, it’s a symptom of a problem in the foundation. Our approach is to fix the cause, not just the effect. This philosophy, combined with Dan’s 15 years of service as a volunteer firefighter, instills a deep commitment to community, integrity, and doing the job right. Our pledge as an Authorized Belgard Contractor means we consistently adhere to the highest industry standards for materials and techniques, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee means we don’t consider a job finished until you are completely happy with the result.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Hardscape Maintenance
How often should I have my pavers cleaned and sealed?
For most hardscapes across Oregon, we generally recommend professional hardscape cleaning and sealing every 3 to 5 years. However, this is not a one-size-fits-all answer. The ideal frequency for this maintenance depends on several factors specific to your property. Hardscapes with heavy foot traffic, consistent shade and moisture which encourage moss, or those located under trees that drop leaves and sap may require attention more frequently. During your free inspection, we will assess these unique conditions and provide a personalized maintenance schedule tailored to your hardscape’s specific needs.
What areas do you provide hardscape maintenance services in?
Our Hardscape Doctor™ services are available to both residential and commercial clients across two major regions in Oregon. Our Central Oregon service area includes Bend, Sunriver, Redmond, La Pine, Sisters, Black Butte, and Prineville. Our Portland Metro service area covers Portland, Beaverton, Tualatin, Sherwood, West Linn, Lake Oswego, and Happy Valley. If you are near these areas, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Will sealing my pavers make them slippery?
No, absolutely not. This is a common concern, and we address it by using only the highest quality products. We use premium, penetrating sealers that soak into the paver surface rather than forming a thick, glossy film on top. Furthermore, we can include a non-slip polymer additive in our sealant mixture. This additive is invisible to the eye but creates a slightly textured, higher-friction surface that ensures safe footing, even when wet. Your family’s safety is a top priority in our material selection.
Can you fix sunken or uneven pavers?
Yes, this is one of our core restoration services and a critical part of ensuring your hardscape is safe and functional. Our paver repair process is thorough and designed for longevity. We don’t just lift the sinking paver and put some sand under it. We carefully remove the affected pavers, diagnose the problem with the base layer beneath, and then rebuild the foundation to ensure proper compaction and drainage. This corrects the root cause of the failure, preventing the problem from recurring and providing a long-lasting, level fix.
Is professional hardscape maintenance worth the cost?
Without a doubt. Proactive maintenance is a small, strategic investment when compared to the significant cost of a full hardscape tear-out and replacement. Regular hardscape cleaning and restoration protects your property value by boosting curb appeal, prevents major structural damage, enhances the safety of your property by eliminating trip hazards, and ultimately keeps your outdoor space looking beautiful for you to enjoy. Our hardscape restoration in Central Oregon and Portland saves homeowners significant money and headaches in the long run.
