Benefits of Sealing Pavers

Here is a brief summary of both the aesthetic and functional benefits that you can actually expect from sealing your pavers:

Appearance – You can easily enhance the overall appearance of your hard scape with a sealer that hardens and intensifies the natural paver colors. In many cases, the change can be quite a dramatic improvement.

Maintenance – Sealing pavers creates a surface that improves maintenance efforts by making it faster and easier to clean. Sealed surfaces can be wiped down with a mild detergent or pressure washed to remove any spills, dirt and debris.

Protection - Sealed surfaces are more resistant to undesired stains such as oil, food and drink spills, etc. Some sealers also may protect against salts, acids, and other corrosive substances.

Preservation - A UV-rated sealer will not yellow as it protects the paver colors from fading under a constant barrage of harmful sunlight.

Stabilization - Many sealers can reinforce pavement integrity by stabilizing joint sand which also deters weed growth and insect activity such as ant hills.
