Paver Sealing Services We Offer in Stirling, NJ
Typically once your pavers are clean, we urge clients to seal their pavers right after. For best results, our paver cleaning and sealing services covers four stages: surface cleaning, joint sand, repairs when needed, and sealer application.
Cleaning & Surface Preparation
Our team can remove years of dirt and buildup on your pavers. In our experience, driveways typically need the most attention from tire marks and oil, while patios and walkways collect dirt, moss, and general grime.
Deep Pressure Washing
A power washer with a rotary attachment lifts ground-in dirt without damage. Standard high-pressure wands risk etching the finish or forcing water under the joints.
Efflorescence Removal
Breaks down and removes the white mineral haze that forms as moisture moves through the pavers. It often returns if moisture keeps reaching the area, so we check for it at every visit.
Rust & Battery Burn Removal
Spot treatment targets rust and battery acid stains that a standard wash won't lift. These marks sit on the surface, so direct treatment can often clear them.
Oil & Grease Extraction
We apply Techniseal oil and grease treatment directly to embedded stains, let it work, then rinse the area clean.
Joint Sanding & Stabilization
We install polymeric sand to lock the pavers in place and close the gaps where weeds and ants get in. Lost or washed-out sand is one of the most common reasons pavers start to shift.
Polymeric Sand Installation
Fills the gaps and hardens in place. It holds everything together and resists washout better than regular sand. We sweep it in dry, then activate it with water so it sets without cracking.
Weed & Ant Prevention
The hardened material makes it harder for weeds to root or ants to tunnel through. This cuts down on repeat weeding or spot treatment between visits.
Paver Repairs Completed Before Sealing When Needed
We handle repairs first so the sealer sits on a stable, level base.
Paver Re-leveling & Resetting
We lift, relevel, and reset pavers that have shifted or sunk. This is common in high-traffic areas or where the base underneath has settled over time.
Border or Edge Restraint Repair
We repair loose or failing edge restraints to keep the surrounding area from spreading. Without a solid edge, pavers along the border tend to drift outward first.
Mortar or Concrete Repair
We repair cracked mortar joints or adjoining concrete sections first. That gives the sealer a solid base to bond to.
Sealing Options & Enhancements
Finishes can range from a natural look to a high-gloss, color-enhanced result. We'll recommend the finish based on the type of pavers you have, how the area is used, and the appearance you're hoping for.
Penetrating Sealer
Soaks in and protects from below without changing the paver's natural look. Suits homeowners who want protection with no visible sheen or color change.
Color-Enhancing Sealer
Deepens and restores the original color while sealing the top layer. Works well on faded pavers that have lost their tone from sun and weather.
Gloss or High-Build Sealer
Adds a wet-look shine and a thicker protective coat. Common on patios and pool decks where a polished look is the priority.
Our Cleaning and Sealing Process
The process runs through five stages, from the first walkthrough to the final coat. Most jobs finish in one to two days.
Surface Review and Job Prep
Every job starts with a walkthrough to check for stains, weed growth, loose sand, and any repair issues that need attention. We sweep away loose debris so the area is ready for washing.
Deep Cleaning and Stain Treatment
Washing comes first and covers the full area before any spot work begins. We treat stains individually once the general wash finishes, since each mark responds differently depending on how deep it has set.
Drying Time Before Sealing
We let pavers dry for 24 to 48 hours before we resand the joints, since sand won't set properly if it's wet. The sealer itself is a two-part urethane formula built to bond even on pavers that are still slightly damp, keeping most projects on a one to two day timeline.
Joint Sanding and Stabilization
We add sand once the joints dry and any repairs wrap up, then work it into every gap by hand and check it before the final step.
Sealer Application
The sealer goes on last, once everything underneath is filled and stable. Our team applies it evenly, either by soaking it in or building a protective layer depending on the finish chosen. Once applied, we recommend allowing it to fully cure before the area is put back into use.
Benefits of Paver Cleaning and Sealing
Paver cleaning and sealing restores the paver's appearance and protects the surface for years afterward.
Cleaner, Better-Kept Appearance
Cleaning removes dirt, stains, and buildup that dull the paver surface, bringing back the color and finish the pavers had when new.
Protect From Stains and Moisture
Sealer blocks the surface pores that dirt, moisture, and organic growth use to take hold, reducing new staining and water damage over time.
Keep Pavers Cleaner Longer
A sealed surface helps keep pavers looking clean for up to 3 years before dirt and staining build back up.
Consistent Look Across All Surfaces
The same cleaning and sealing process applies across patios, walkways, and driveways, giving every paved surface on the property a consistent, refreshed look.

Paver Cleaning and Sealing FAQs
How often should pavers be cleaned and sealed?
We always recommend cleaning and sealing your pavers every 2 to 3 years. This depends on use and exposure. Driveways and high-traffic areas often tend to need attention sooner, especially with oil stains or tire marks. Sealing helps keep pavers looking clean for up to 3 years before buildup returns. Contact us for a free estimate to check your pavers' condition.
Will pressure washing damage my pavers?
No, not when it's done correctly. High-pressure washing can dislodge joint sand, chip softer pavers, or force water beneath the surface at the wrong pressure or angle. Our team uses a rotary surface cleaning attachment, which removes buildup without that risk.
Can oil, rust, and other stains be treated before sealing?
Yes, oil, rust, and most other embedded stains are treated before sealing begins. We use Techniseal spot treatments matched to the stain type, whether it's oil, grease, rust, or organic buildup like moss and mildew. Deep-set stains that have soaked in for years sometimes only lighten. We'll note that during your estimate.
Do you install joint sand before sealing?
Yes, polymeric sand is installed in the joints before the sealer goes on. The joints are cleaned out and refilled with polymeric sand, which is given time to set before sealing begins. Ask about your pavers' joint condition during your free estimate.
What sealer options are available?
We offer three sealer finishes. A penetrating sealer which protects your pavers without changing the look. A color-enhancing sealer that restores and deepens your paver's original color. And a gloss sealer, which adds a wet-look shine with a thicker protective layer. Our team will assess your pavers and advise which fits best during your estimate.
