Always starts with a deep clean. Then polymeric joint re-sanding. Then commercial-grade penetrating sealer. The right order, done correctly, lasts 3–5 years.
Pavers are a significant investment — a well-installed paver patio, driveway, or pool deck adds real value to a property and can last decades when properly maintained. The problem is that unsealed pavers in Ohio's climate deteriorate faster than homeowners expect. Freeze-thaw cycles open and close the joint sand. Weeds establish in the joints. Oil and organic staining penetrates the porous surface. Sealing addresses all of these simultaneously.
Our paver sealing process begins with a thorough pressure cleaning — and this step is non-negotiable. Sealing over contaminated, stained, or biologically compromised pavers traps the damage in permanently. We use a commercial surface cleaner to deep clean every paver face, flush the joints, and remove all biological growth, staining, and debris.
After cleaning and full drying, we re-sand the joints with polymeric sand — a sand-polymer mixture that hardens when wetted and cures to resist weed germination and ant intrusion. Standard sand washes out and blows away within a season or two; polymeric sand stays in place.
The sealer we apply is a commercial-grade penetrating product — not the film-forming topcoat sealers you find at hardware stores, which peel, cloud, and require complete removal before resealing. Penetrating sealers work inside the paver matrix, protecting against staining and freeze-thaw damage.
Central Ohio's freeze-thaw cycle is the primary threat to paver longevity. Water in unsealed paver joints expands and contracts through winter, eventually working the joint sand loose and destabilizing the paver installation.
