My Brick Paver Sealer Experience

It is the time of year to prep and apply a new Brick Paver Sealer. I have been restoring brick pavers in the Metro Detroit area since the early 1990s, and every Spring, I line up our jobs to restore those dirty and dull brick pavers. Over the last 30 years, I have seen many failed brick paver sealer coatings, so please read my article. Hopefully, it will help you avoid common mistakes and bad sealers for your pavers.

Brick Paver Patios and landscaping blocks have been popular in the last 30 years. They offer an alternative to regular plain white concrete by adding old-world charm, resembling walkways and streets of the 19th century. Brick Paver patios can be customized to be designed for any area. They are trendy for driveways, walkways, around pools, etc. Of course, with any exterior horizontal surface, there is a need for general maintenance with brick pavers by cleaning and sealing regularly.

Brick paver sealers are water repellents and coatings specifically designed for use on paver stones and blocks.

Brick Paver Driveway

Sealing brick pavers can be a do-it-yourself project if you feel comfortable, or it can also be done by an experienced contractor like me. The important matter is that the brick pavers and sand joints are protected from harsh weather conditions, water damage, weed growth, mold/mildew, anthill activity, and sun fading. Sealing and maintaining brick paver areas will ensure prolonged beauty and many years of use.

Brick Paver Sealers have three primary functions:

• Seal and protect the pavers from UV degradation and fading.
• Enhance the pavers by adding a wet look, shine, or both.
• Solidify or stabilize the jointing sand in between the individual stones.
