The Paver Sealing Process

Paver Leveling

We recommend getting all pavers leveled before sealing. This is an optional service we provide and helps maintain the leveling and overall structural integrity of the pavers. This will also be determined upon consultation.

Stripping

Upon consultation, it will be determined if the pavers need to be stripped from the previous sealer. This isn’t common, but in some cases may be necessary for the best application.

Surface Clean

We do a full surface clean with pressure and chemicals brick by brick, joint by joint to remove all algae, dirt, and other debris. We also remove all rust stains, efflorescence, and oil stains.

Joint Sanding

Sand in the joints of your pavers is the structure that holds your pavers in place preventing them from moving. Eventually, a new application of sand is necessary to fill the joints where the sand has been moved or is no longer there. Here we hand brush a new application of sand in the joints which aids in restoring the structural longevity, appearance, and resistance to nuisances such as weeds and ant hills forming.

Sealing

Two coats of High-quality sealer are applied to the face of the fully prepared pavers along with their joints. Once the sealant dries the sanded joints harden and completely lock the pavers in place as well as adding a shield that protects the natural color from harsh UV rays and adds resistance to staining.

 Paver sealing can enhance the color of your pavers, but it should not significantly change the color. If you are concerned about color change, it is recommended to test the sealant on a small area before applying it to the entire surface.

After sealing your pavers, it is important to clean them regularly to prevent dirt and debris buildup. Additionally, avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washing, as this can damage the sealant.
