Why Paver Sanding and Sealing is Necessary in Chicago
Paver patios, walkways, and driveways add elegance and value to any Chicago home. However, without routine maintenance, pavers quickly deteriorate due to weed infestation, shifting slabs, joint erosion, and winter frost-heave cycles.
Professional paver sanding and sealing protects your investment and maintains that “brand new” look.
1. The Magic of Polymeric Sand
Standard sand washes away with rain and wind. Polymeric sand contains specialized polymers that bind together when activated with water.
Benefits of Polymeric Sanding:
- Prevents Weeds & Moss: Hardens joint gaps so seeds cannot take root.
- Stops Pest Infestations: Prevents ants and insects from digging tunnels under pavers.
- Locks Pavers in Place: Keeps individual stones from shifting or dipping under vehicle loads.
2. Why Sealing Your Pavers is Essential
Applying a commercial-grade sealer over pavers creates an invisible protective barrier that provides key advantages:
- Blocks Oil & Food Stains: Spills wash right off without sinking into porous brick or stone.
- Protects Against De-Icing Salt: Chicago winter salt severely damages unsealed pavers.
- Restores & Enhances Color: Choose a Wet-Look Finish to deepen stone colors or a Matte Finish for invisible protection.
3. How the Process Works
- Power Washing: Deep cleaning joints and surface stains.
- Drying: Ensuring 100% dry conditions.
- Polymeric Sanding: Sweeping and compacting sand into every joint.
- Sealing Application: Spraying uniform coats of premium paver sealer.
