Paver Sealing - stART T0 FINISH (video's below)
STEP 1- Weed Treatment
We prioritize on removing weeds but more importantly killing the weed growth down to the root. Using a special chemical mixture before pressure cleaning helps us achieve this desired outcome. Unfortunately, weeds are inevitable, with that being said using a store bought or homemade weed killer to manage future weed growth is recommended. (*We can reduce and prolong weeds from coming back but never can we or anyone else out there 100% prevent weeds from ever coming back. *)
**Sand used in joints does affect how long before weeds come back**
STEP 2 - Pressure Cleaning / Stain treatment
Using a Surface Cleaner, we pressure clean the entire surface to be sealed. Exposing staining allows us to focus and use industrial chemicals on penetrating stains such as rust, oil, and paint. Using a Turbo Nozzle, we remove weed growth from the joints which wasn't removed from the surface cleaner, then hit the stains which were chemically treated to remove stains as best as possible.*Varying on the stone, porosity, density, time, and other factors depends on how well stains can be removed. *
STEP 3 - Re-Sanding Paver Joints
Re-sanding your pavers is essential for assuring stabilization for weight distribution on the paver surface. We have two different methods of sanding pavers depending on the paver stone and deck which the pavers lay on.
- Wet Sanding - Using pressurized water to move the SILICA sand into the paver joints. Creating a riverbed compact in the joint. Utilizing the Sealer to bond the sand into place.
- Dry Sanding - Using a Push Broom to move the POLYMERIC sand into the paver joints. Once the entire surface has been swept and blown off, water is then used to activate the polymer in the sand to create a bond in the sand itself. Film forming Sealer's will help lock in sand even more once applied.
**POLYMERIC Last's significantly longer/ helps prevents weeds more so than silica sand BUT can be more semi- permanent / more costly to remove in future. **
STEP 4 - SEALING
Once the surface has been professionally cleaned and sanded. It is time the Seal. Depending on the paver stone would depend on what sealer we would use but more importantly how we apply the sealer based on manufacturer direction. Using Surface Logix, a local manufacturer of Top-Rated Professional Sealants/ Paints we provide our homeowners with Consistent Quality products accompanied with our Expert Trained technicians to reach our standard of results.
