Sealing is a critical step in protecting your hardscape investment. A high-quality sealer enhances the natural colors of the stone, repels stains from oil or food spills, and stabilizes the joint sand to prevent weed growth and insect intrusion. This protective barrier significantly extends the lifespan of your patio or driveway, ensuring your Brick Paver Restoration in Crystal Lake results last for years.

Yes, a major part of our restoration process involves removing old, contaminated joint material and replacing it with fresh sand. We typically use polymeric sand, which hardens when activated with water. This creates a solid barrier that makes it extremely difficult for weeds to take root and for ants to burrow through.

After we complete the sealing portion of our Brick Paver Restoration & Repair in Crystal Lake, IL, we generally recommend keeping foot traffic off the surface for at least 24 hours, and vehicle traffic off driveways for 48 to 72 hours. This drying time allows the sealer to cure properly, forming a protective bond that guards against stains and weather damage. While the wait is short, it is crucial for ensuring the longevity of the finish.

We make every effort to match replacement bricks to your current installation.
