Paver sealing: Should I seal my pavers?

If you own a brick paver driveway, patio, pool deck or walkway must likely you have asked yourself this question. The short answer is a profound YES!

Paver Sealing

Brick pavers / Hardscapes are known for their durability, beautiful and pleasing appearance that they can give to your driveway, patio, pool deck or any landscape. However not performing the recommended maintenance can ruin that new like appearance that it once had.

Surely, leaving it exposed to the elements for too long with lack of maintenance will have weeds, moss, dirt and insects. This would put you at a position of having to replace it in its entirety with a very expensive tag or, just leaving with a dull, beat up hardscape.

How does Paver Sealing protects brick pavers?

As stated above is no secret that leaving your brick pavers exposed to the elements and UV break down will cause brick pavers to deteriorate and make the original colors fade away in a short period of time.

As highly trained and certified professional hardscapes specialists we highly recommend taking advantage of this tool and have your pavers sealed as this not only will keep the original colors intact from fading and pavers looking beautiful, but you will also protect your investment in the long run and avoid headaches.

Can neglected pavers be saved?

On the other hand, if you have neglected your brick pavers or if you bought a house and inherited a brick paver driveway, patio, walkway or pool deck doesn’t necessarily mean you need a full replacement, one of the many advantages of having pavers is that most of the times pavers can be restored to look like new again, if it is done in a timely manner (performing the right prep is crucial here to ensure a successful adhesion of sealer).

Although there are different types of finishes of sealer, one of our most requested and recommended is the wet look sealer this type of sealer will not only give your pavers a deep color enhancement which will bring back the original look and color of the pavers but will also protect your pavers from further deterioration.
