Pleasurable Pavers. leveling and sealing.

To seal or not to seal is the question many homeowners ask themselves when they own a beautiful paver Driveway or Hardscape. In my opinion, Paver sealing is one of those niche additives to your property that is not 100% crucial, BUT it is necessary in order to prolong the original beauty and integrity of paver driveways and patios. This paver sealing project in the Stuart Yacht & Country Club began with leveling the pavers along the garage so the clients will have a smooth entrance and exit when driving their fancy cars off their fancy drive way. After we removed, filled and replaced the Pavers; the team and I begin by killing and removing all organic matter. After the driveway has been pre-treated for organics, pressure-treated, and thoroughly rinsed; then we follow up with an efflorescence treatment to remove any salt or minerals that may be present and prep the bricks for total absorption of the sealer. After treating for efflorescence, we give it a slight agitation with the surface cleaner, and proceeded with neutralizing the efflorescence remover. Once neutralized, we rinse everything well away and begin wet sanding. Pushing the sand across the paver scape with water, this insures that the water drops down deep into the cracks and crevices of every paver, ensuring compact and complete filling of sand in the paver joints. We return the next day after letting everything dry and cover everything with a healthy coating of Silicast beauty enhancing sealer. We used Silicast on this project because the customer did not want a sheen or shine, and only wanted a color enhancement with protection.
