Paver sealing

Paver sealing in Idaho Falls and eastern Idaho

Sealing locks the joint sand, resists staining, and — if you want it — gives pavers the deep wet look that makes the colour read the way it did the day it was delivered.

Photo neededSealed vs unsealed, side by sideThe same paver surface photographed with one section sealed and one not, in the same light. This single image sells the service better than any amount of copy, and Bernie is already taking these.

What sealing actually does

Three things. It stabilises the polymeric sand in the joints so it resists washout and weed growth. It puts a barrier between the paver surface and the things that stain it — grill grease, leaf tannin, motor oil, de-icing residue. And depending on the product, it changes how the surface looks.

What it doesn't do is make pavers waterproof or structural. A sealed paver on a failing base still sinks. Sealing is maintenance, not a repair.

Wet look or natural finish

The finish is the decision most people spend the longest on, and the one worth seeing in person before choosing.

Wet lookDeep, saturated colour as though the surface were freshly rained on. Slight sheen. The most dramatic change from unsealed.
Natural / matteColour comes up slightly, no visible sheen. Reads as clean rather than coated.
SlipThe wet look is not meaningfully slipperier than unsealed paver in normal use. Where it matters — pool surrounds, steps — a grit additive is available.
ReapplicationTypically every three to five years depending on exposure, traffic and the product used.

What a sealing job includes

  • Full surface clean — pressure wash, and stain treatment where needed
  • Weed and moss removal from joints
  • Joint sand replaced or topped up where it has washed out
  • Repair or reset of any settled or lifted pavers, quoted separately if needed
  • Full dry time before sealer goes down
  • Sealer applied in even coats to the finish you chose

Already have pavers we didn't install?

Sealing is the service we're most often called for on someone else's installation, and we're glad to take it. It's also a straightforward way to see how we work before trusting us with something larger.

How it works

From first call to final walkthrough.

Free on-site visit

We measure, talk through materials and patterns, and answer pricing questions while we're standing in the space.

Written scope & price

Layout, material, square footage and cost in writing before anything gets ordered.

Excavation & base

Proper depth, compaction and drainage. This is the step that decides whether it's still flat in ten years.

Install & walkthrough

Cutting, edging, joint sand, cleanup — then we walk it with you before we call it finished.

Questions

Common questions

How often should pavers be sealed?

Every three to five years for most residential surfaces. Driveways and heavily shaded or heavily used areas sit at the shorter end of that range.

Does sealing make pavers slippery?

Not meaningfully in normal use, even with a wet-look product. Where slip matters most — pool surrounds, steps, entries — a grit additive can be mixed into the sealer.

Can you seal pavers another company installed?

Yes. It's one of the most common calls we get, and there's no requirement that we installed the original surface.

When is the best time of year to seal in eastern Idaho?

Late spring through early fall, when you can count on a stretch of dry weather and moderate temperatures for cleaning, drying and curing. September is a popular slot.
