Patio Sealing in Morris, NJ

Yes, the patio must be pressure washed and fully dry before sealer is applied. Sealing over dirt or moisture traps contaminants under the surface and shortens the life of the seal.

Your patio is ready when water no longer beads on the surface and the color looks faded or dull. Loose joint sand and visible staining are also signs that resealing is overdue.

Sealing significantly reduces weed growth by stabilizing the joint sand and blocking the gaps where seeds settle. It does not eliminate every weed permanently, but it makes the surface much harder for growth to take hold.

We can assess the existing seal before applying a new coat. If the old sealer is peeling or incompatible, it needs to be stripped first to get a clean, even result.

Once the sealer has fully cured, the surface is safe for children and pets. We will let you know when the area is ready for normal use.

Yes, a sealed surface is less porous and resists salt penetration that would otherwise break down the paver material over winter. This is especially useful for patios and walkways near driveways or roads where salt is applied.
