Professional paver sealing requires thorough cleaning, dry weather, proper surface preparation, and a sealer selected for the specific type and condition of the pavers. Before service begins, furniture, vehicles, planters, grills, decorations, and other movable items should be removed. Sprinklers should remain off, and pets and children should stay away from the work area until the sealer has fully dried and cured.

Paver cleaning and sealing usually begins with an inspection for stains, weeds, algae, loose joint sand, drainage problems, and existing sealer. The surface must be cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt and organic buildup. Oil, rust, paint, and other stains may require specialized treatment, although some deep discoloration may remain. If an old coating is peeling, cloudy, or incompatible with the new product, additional paver restoration services may be necessary.

After cleaning, the pavers need sufficient time to dry. Applying sealer over trapped moisture can cause whitening, haziness, or poor adhesion. Joint sand may also need to be added or stabilized before sealing. Weather conditions are important because rain, high moisture, and extreme temperatures can affect application and curing. The area should remain free from foot traffic, vehicles, water, and lawn irrigation for the recommended period after service.

Different sealers provide different finishes and levels of protection. Some enhance the natural color of brick pavers, while others offer a lower-sheen appearance.
