Paver Sealing That Locks Everything In
Joint sand stabilized. Color enhanced. Weeds discouraged. Stains repelled.
What it is
Paver Sealing, explained simply.
A properly sealed paver patio resists weeds, retains its color, and is dramatically easier to clean for years. We use polymeric sand to stabilize joints, then apply a paver sealer matched to your goals — natural-look matte, color-enhanced, or wet-look. Done right, sealing is the difference between a patio that ages well and one that looks tired in two years.

A closer look
Everything worth knowing.
Sealing pavers is the difference between a patio that ages well and one that looks tired within two years. A properly sealed paver patio resists weeds, holds joint sand, repels stains, and keeps its color for years longer than an unsealed one.
Sealer choice matters. Natural-look matte sealers preserve the original paver appearance with no sheen. Satin-enhanced sealers deepen color and add slight gloss. Wet-look sealers create the rich, just-rained appearance some homeowners love. None are right or wrong — they're personal preference.
Admiral pairs paver sealing with polymeric sand installation in the joints. Together, the sand stabilizes the field and the sealer locks everything in. Done as a system, the patio is set up for the next five years.
Surfaces & materials
We tune the method to the material.
Concrete pavers
Take sealer beautifully. Color enhancement is dramatic on tumbled and aged pavers.
Clay brick pavers
Natural-look matte preserves the timeless brick appearance.
Travertine & natural stone
Sealer choice is critical — wrong product can yellow or cloud the stone.
What we see go wrong
Common mistakes (and how we avoid them).
Sealing without re-sanding
Locks in low joint sand, leading to wobble and accelerated wear.
Over-application
Pools of sealer turn white and ugly. Even application is everything.
Sealing pavers that aren't clean
Embeds dirt forever — and is much harder to fix than to do right the first time.
What affects price
Honest pricing factors.
- Square footage
- Sealer type (matte, satin-enhanced, wet-look)
- Whether re-sanding is part of the package (it should be)
