Maintaining pavers is essential to keep the pristine presentation of your landscape. A beautiful pavement will add a whole new dimension to an outdoor area. Pavers require little maintenance and will last a life time if they are properly looked after. Maintaining your pavers will surely assist in keeping the appearance and prolonging the usable life of your outdoor living space.

Apply a Sealant

The first step that will ensure the maintenance of pavers is to apply a sealant to the surface once the pavement is complete. Applying a coat of sealant to your pavers will intensify the color and pattern and add a beautiful shine to the surface. A sealant will protect the surface making it much easier to remove any stains that can occur from use and traffic of the area. Applying a quality sealant will also prevent the concrete dust from spreading over the surface and entering the home.

Maintain Color and Wear

Applying a sealant to your pavers will also preserve the color and wear of the pavement. When concrete pavers are manufactured, pigmentation is used to create the different colors and the concrete holds the pigments in place. The color will not fade or discolor, however, overtime the material will wear and may begin to erode from the wear and traffic. Therefore the pavers should be cleaned and sealed to prevent the build up of dirt and the chance of erosion.

2. Protect your Pavers

Sealers can also provide a protective layer for your pavers. This will help maintain your pavers in harsh weather conditions or high traffic areas. Sealants can protect pavers from the effects of wear and tear.

3. Remove Stains

Applying a sealer to your pavers can make removing stubborn stains such as oil, grease and rubber stains so much easier. If your pavers are sealed these substances do not have the ability to soak into the surface of the pavers, therefore all you need to do is wipe them off with a rag as soon as you notice them, and that’s it! If your pavers were not sealed your paved driveway could start to look very tired and dirty after a short while.
