In Mason, Ohio, outdoor living spaces are more than just patios and driveways — they’re an extension of the home. That’s why our client, Danita E. in the Richmond Park neighborhood of Mason (ZIP 45040) reached out to Perfect Paver Co. after their pavers lost their original beauty.

The homeowners had previously attempted to seal their pavers with a DIY product from a big-box store, but over time that coating failed. Instead of enhancing the natural colors, the old sealer dulled the surface and left behind uneven coverage. The result: a patio and walkway that looked tired, even though the stones themselves were still structurally sound.

Starting with a Clean Slate

When our foreman Dale arrived, he knew the first step would be stripping away the failed sealer. Using a professional-grade stripping solution and 200-degree hot water cleaning, we removed the old product completely. This step is critical — if you don’t take the sealer off properly, new sealer won’t bond correctly, and you’ll never achieve that crisp, vibrant finish.

Once the pavers were stripped, Dale cleared out the joints, ensuring the system was reset for proper sand installation. This is where our process sets us apart — it’s not just about making the surface look better today, but about building in long-term stability.

Resetting the System with Polymeric Sand

The next day, once the surface was fully dry, our team installed polymeric sand throughout the joints. This sand hardens in place when activated with water, which:

• Minimizes weed growth
• Helps keep ants from tunneling
• Locks the system together to reduce shifting and washout

For homeowners, this means less time battling weeds and more time enjoying their outdoor space.

Bringing the Pavers Back to Life

Finally, we applied a high-quality penetrating sealer designed specifically for pavers. Unlike film-forming sealers that sit on top and become slippery, our sealer soaks into the stone. The benefits are immediate:

• Enhanced color that makes the pavers look better than new
• Protection from UV fading and weathering
• Easier cleaning and maintenance moving forward

When the job was complete, the transformation was striking. What once looked faded and patchy now had rich color, natural variation, and a clean, refreshed finish.
