Why Seal Your Pavers? Expert Advice from Pure Hardscapes

Category: Paver Installation

Are you considering paver sealing for your patio or driveway? Sealing your pavers can keep your outdoor space looking its best, extending its lifespan and protecting it from damage. In this article, Pure Hardscapes provides expert advice on why you should seal your pavers. We will discuss its benefits and the questions commonly asked about paver sealing.

Benefits of Sealing Your Pavers

Paver sealing offers many benefits. Here are some of the top reasons why it’s a smart investment for your home:

Weather Protection: Sealing your pavers protects them from the harsh effects of the weather.
Stain Prevention: The sealant serves as a barrier against stains, making it easier to clean spills and prevent long-term damage.
Color Preservation: Regularly sealing your pavers can help maintain their natural color, preventing fading by sunlight exposure.
Weed Prevention: Sealed pavers reduce the opportunity for weed growth, keeping your patio or driveway weed-free and good as new.

Frequently Asked Questions about Paver Sealing

When should pavers be sealed?

The best time to seal your pavers is after they’ve been installed for about 60 days. This allows any efflorescence (a white, powdery substance caused by the natural process of concrete curing) to rise to the surface and be washed off before sealing.

How long will the sealant last?

A good quality sealant can last between 3 to 5 years depending on several factors such as the wear and tear, climate conditions, and the quality of the product used.

Can I seal pavers myself?

While it is possible to seal your pavers on your own, hiring a professional will provide better results. They have the right skills and equipment to do the job properly and efficiently.

Conclusion

Sealing your pavers is an essential maintenance task if you want to maintain their quality and aesthetics. Not only does sealing provide a wealth of practical benefits, but it also makes cleaning easier and helps to maintain the color of your pavers. Whether you choose to do the job yourself or hire a professional, using a high-quality sealant and applying it correctly will protect your investment and enhance the overall look of your outdoor space.

Why Homeowners Love Pure Hardscapes

Our project involved a complete removal, expansion and replacement of pool and lenai pavers as well as a new screen cage. Coordination of the screen and paver contractors requires a lot of forethought to schedules, weather and product availability. Mid-project, we were faced with Hurricane Ian and county permitting delays. Despite these outside glitches, Pure Hardscapes got the job done. The owner, Chance, was in constant contact with us for scheduling and product availability from Italy. The project manager, David, would listen to our comments and implement changes where needed. David's work ethic is admirable. The office manager, Nicole, coordinated the efforts of the field crew with the cage company and was always very responsive. After completion of the paver installation, the cage installers cracked one of the porcelain pavers. Nicole was able to have David return to the job site within 2 hours and replace the cracked paver, resulting in no time loss for the cage installers. Before, during and after the project, the crew at Pure Hardscapes took a personal interest in our needs and wants. I would not hesitate to recommend Pure Hardscapes to others.George Christofely

I wish Chance would run other businesses as well because I would hire him in a heartbeat. Communication was excellent and the price was the best from all 3 companies quoted. We had a couple last minute additions and he had no problem accommodating our request. He runs his company very professionally with modern tools like online contract signing and payment which makes it very convenient. But he also has an old school touch. We've received a couple hand written cards and follow up calls from him which really shows the kind of business he runs. See the photos, the work speaks for itself.

I moved to Naples in April 2021and purchased a home that I wanted to make some changes to. I called many contractors and companies to try to get estimates with, and no one ever returned my calls. The only one who personally reached out to me was Chane , the owner of Hardscapes! I kept getting excuses such as covid and everyone is very busy. I find it disrespectful when you reach out to someone and finally get an appointment for them to come to your home to give you an estimate to only be stood up! This unfortunately happened on more than one occasion.When you deal with Chance and his company they are punctual, respectful, and they always return calls and emails. I wish everyone I had to deal with to get something done was as professional and kind as Chance is. I will continue to refer him to my friends and anyone I hear that is looking to get any kind of hard scape done to their home. Dealing with him and his company is a pleasure!Amanda McDonald Naples Fl
