Do you need to seal a paver patio? We get asked this question a lot. The short answer is yes. Paver stones are porous, and paver sealing helps protect your patio from the elements.
ASMD offers professional paver sealing services in Gladwyne, PA. Learn more about the benefits of sealing your paver patio and get answers to commonly asked questions about our sealing services.
5 Reasons to Seal Your Paver Patio
- Sealing creates a protective layer on your paver stones to prevent weeds from growing or insects from burrowing into gaps.
- Professional sealing services reinforce the joint sand to prevent the pavers from shifting.
- Prolong the lifespan of your pavers by protecting against UV rays and winter ice-melting salt.
- Sealing helps prevent staining. Oil, grease, food, and dirt stains can penetrate unsealed pavers and cause permanent discoloration.
- Sealant enhances the paver’s texture, color, and appearance. A good quality sealant boosts the natural colors, making them look more vibrant and new.
FAQs | Patio Paver Sealing Gladwyne PA
How often do I have to seal my paver patio or driveway?
Our patio sealing contractors recommend sealing your pavers every three to five years to keep them looking new and preserve their lifespan.
What steps are involved in the sealing process?
Here’s a step-by-step look at ASMD’s paver sealing service.
Step 1: Restoration
We start by thoroughly cleaning your pavers. We use concentrated stain removal to treat common stains like rust, oil, moss, algae, and salt. All of our cleaning solutions are eco-friendly. Then, if needed, we’ll do any interlock repairs.
Step 2: Pressure Washing
We first use rotary cleaning equipment to give your pavers a good surface clean. Then, we pressure wash the interlock joints to remove moss, loose sand, debris, bugs, or weeds.
Step 3: Polymeric Sand
Once the paver is dry, we install new polymeric sand. We sweep the sand into the joints, blow off excess, rinse down, and activate it.
Step 4: Sealer
After the surface dries, we proceed with the sealing process. Our color-enhancing sealer, designed for safety and effectiveness, is sprayed and worked into the interlocking pavers using a roller to achieve an even, consistent finish.
What kind of paver sealer does ASMD use?
We use several different types of sealers, each designed for a specific type of paver or concrete surface.
Can I seal my paver patio myself?
You can do a DIY sealing job. However, if you’re unfamiliar with sealing, be cautious. Incorrect application can damage the color or make your pavers slippery. Other risks include uneven coverage, trapped moisture, or a finish that doesn’t last as long.
Our professional paver sealer services allow you to enjoy your patio without worrying about mistakes or maintenance issues.
