Paver guides for Cape Coral
Most paver advice online is written for the country as a whole, and it does not survive contact with Lee County. These are written against local conditions: sandy base, high water table, salt in the air, and a rainy season that decides when sealing can actually be done.
They are arranged roughly in the order people need them. If you are working out whether to spend anything at all, start with cost. If you already know you want the work, when to seal matters more than anything else on this page, because timing here is not a preference. Sealer applied in August cannot cure properly, and no amount of skill on the day changes that.
Written for Lee County conditions specifically — sandy base, high water table, salt air and a rainy season that decides when this work can be done.

Where to start, depending on your situation
The guides answer different questions and it is not obvious from the titles which one applies to you, so here is the short version.
You have no idea what this should cost
Start with the cost guide. It gives the range local companies actually quote, what moves a driveway from one end of it to the other, and which line items should be itemised separately on a quote rather than bundled.
You know you want it done and are deciding when
Read the timing guide. It has the twelve-month picture, three tests you can run on your own driveway in about five minutes, and what specifically goes wrong when sealer goes down at the wrong time of year.
Something looks wrong and you want to know what it is
White patches are usually efflorescence on newer pavers or hazing from a bad seal, and those have opposite fixes — the salt-air guide covers the joint side of it. If pavers moved after a storm, the storm-recovery guide covers what needs doing and in what order.
You are changing the driveway rather than maintaining it
Read the permits guide before anyone digs. In Cape Coral this is a stormwater question before it is a construction question, and the answer depends on whether you are changing how water crosses the front of your lot.
