Sealing Pavers
Paver sealant is used for numerous reasons. It protects the pavers from becoming stained from solvent-based products such as oil, fuel and anti-freeze, therefore making them easier to clean. Sealing pavers also prevents weeds from growing between the edges, thus causing cracks and chipping of the pavers. The prime reason to apply a sealant is to provide paver protection and to restore the natural appearance. Sealing pavers also helps keep the sand joints in place. Unsealed pavers will fade, discolor, erode and exhibit mold and mildew buildup. Before we begin the process of sealing pavers, we choose a high gloss water base paver sealant. The sheen and gloss finishes will give your pavers a shiny appearance which will make them look like new!
