Our System for Pavers

Many companies focus only on cleaning the surface and applying sealer. While that can improve appearance temporarily, it doesn’t address the underlying system that keeps pavers stable and performing well.

Our approach focuses on the entire paver system. We start by identifying and correcting structural issues such as settlement, shifting, or failing edge restraints. Once the structure is sound, we properly prepare the surface through professional steam cleaning to remove contaminants and existing joint material. We then install polymeric sand to stabilize the joints and finish the process with proprietary sealers that were developed and refined through years of real-world testing.

This system approach is what allows the surface to both look better and perform better long term.

Aggressive pressure washing can damage the surface of concrete pavers and remove too much joint material or bedding sand beneath the pavers. This can actually create more instability in the system.

Steam cleaning allows us to break down organic growth such as mold, algae, and embedded dirt without unnecessarily eroding the paver surface. It provides a deeper, more controlled cleaning process that prepares the surface properly for joint stabilization and sealing.

The goal is not just to clean the surface, but to prepare the entire system for the next steps in the restoration process.

The joints between pavers are a critical part of how the system functions. When joint material breaks down or washes out, the pavers are no longer locked together. This allows movement to occur, which can lead to shifting, settlement, weed growth, and water infiltration into the base.

Proper joint preparation involves removing failed material and installing new polymeric sand that stabilizes the system. When installed correctly, polymeric sand helps lock the pavers together, resist washout, and significantly reduce weed growth and insect intrusion.

Without proper joint preparation, sealing alone cannot stabilize the surface.

Polymeric sand stabilizes the joints of a paver system from the bottom of the joint to the top, helping lock the pavers together and reduce sand washout, weeds, and water infiltration.

Some companies rely on joint stabilizing sealers because they can be installed faster, but those systems often only harden the very top of the joint. Our process allows us to properly clean, dry, and install polymeric sand so the joints perform the way they’re intended to.

Most projects are completed over multiple visits to allow each stage of the process to be performed correctly.

A typical project includes:

Because these steps require proper drying and curing conditions, weather and humidity can affect scheduling slightly. Taking the time to allow the surface to dry properly ensures that the joint stabilization and sealer installation perform the way they were designed to.

If structural issues are present, we strongly recommend addressing them before sealing.

Sealing over sunken areas, shifting pavers, or failing edge restraints may improve appearance temporarily, but the underlying problem will continue to progress. Over time, the movement will often cause joints to fail again and the surface to become uneven.

By correcting the structure first, we ensure the restoration process produces results that last much longer.

The lifespan of a paver restoration depends on several factors including sun exposure, rainfall, traffic levels, and overall maintenance.

Concrete pavers generally require resealing less frequently than natural stone, which is more porous and exposed to environmental factors. Regular maintenance and periodic resealing help protect the surface and keep the joint stabilization system performing properly.

After the project is complete, we provide care instructions and maintenance recommendations to help maximize the lifespan of the restoration.

Our sealing systems are designed to integrate with the surface of the pavers rather than forming a thick topical coating. This helps enhance the appearance of the pavers while preserving the natural texture and traction of the surface.

Slippery conditions are typically caused by improper application, excessive buildup, or incompatible sealers being applied over previous coatings. Our system is designed to avoid those issues and maintain safe surface traction.

In some cases, existing sealers may begin to fail due to improper preparation, incompatible products, or over-application. This can lead to whitening, peeling, or uneven appearance.

When this occurs, we can perform professional sealer stripping and restoration. This process removes the failing material so the surface can be properly prepared and the restoration system can be installed correctly.

Whitening, sometimes called “sealer haze,” typically occurs when moisture becomes trapped beneath the sealer or when incompatible products are applied on top of existing coatings. Over-application and poor surface preparation can also contribute to this issue.

Because our system focuses heavily on proper cleaning, preparation, and compatibility between materials, we significantly reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring.

If whitening has already occurred, it can usually be corrected through professional stripping and restoration.

Most concrete pavers benefit from resealing every few years depending on sun exposure, traffic, and environmental conditions. Natural stone may require more frequent sealing due to its higher porosity.

Proper maintenance and periodic resealing help protect the surface and maintain the stability of the paver system.

Once your project is completed, we provide detailed care instructions that explain how to maintain the surface and protect your investment.

These guidelines include recommendations for routine cleaning, maintenance practices, and when resealing may be beneficial in the future. Following these recommendations helps ensure your paver system continues to perform and look great for years to come.

Yes. The polymeric sand and sealer systems we use were refined through years of testing across millions of square feet of installations.

Because we specialize in paver restoration, these products were developed specifically to perform within the restoration systems our teams install. This allows us to control the compatibility and performance of the materials used in every project.

Yes. Warranty coverage varies depending on the services performed and the conditions of the project.

We stand behind the systems we install and provide clear documentation outlining the coverage provided for your project. Our team will review the details of your warranty and answer any questions you may have before work begins.
