Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Denville, NJ

Most paver surfaces here do well with sealing every 3 to 5 years, depending on sun exposure, traffic, and how much tree cover and moisture they get. Shaded, damp areas near the Rockaway River or wooded lots may need attention a bit sooner because of moss and weed growth.

Polymeric sand is a joint sand mixed with binders that harden when activated with water. It locks pavers together, resists weeds, and stands up to rain and freeze-thaw far better than regular sand. We replace failed joints before sealing so the whole surface is stable.

No. Sealing needs dry conditions and temperatures typically above the mid-50s, so we schedule paver work spring through fall. Late spring and early fall are our busiest windows in Denville because surfaces cure cleanly before or after the wet season.

We can use matte or natural-finish sealers that don't leave a slick surface, which matters on walkways and pool decks. If you want a wet-look enhanced finish, we'll talk through it so you know what to expect on high-traffic areas.

Always. Sealing over dirt, moss, or old failing sand just traps the problem. We clean the surface, let it dry, re-sand the joints with polymeric sand, then seal. Cleaning is part of doing the job right, not an upsell.

We cover all of North Jersey from Randolph — Morris, Bergen, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Hunterdon, Essex, Warren and Union Counties — and paver restoration is the work we do most. Quotes are free and on site, usually within the same week.

Sealing on its own is a coat on top. A restoration is the whole job: strip the surface and the joints, re-sand with polymeric sand so the joints lock up again, then seal. Sealing over failed joints looks fine for a season and then the weeds come back through.

Most patios and driveways land between $1.50 and $4 per square foot depending on condition, joint size and which sealer you choose. We clean, re-sand and seal — and quote it all up front, free.

Polymeric sand goes in the joints between pavers and hardens when wet. It locks the pavers in place and blocks weeds, ants and wash-out far better than regular sand.

Usually 3–5 years before a re-seal, depending on traffic and sun. Sealing also brings back the color and makes the surface much easier to keep clean.

Always. We deep-clean, remove old failing sand, re-sand the joints with polymeric sand, then seal. Sealing dirty pavers just locks the dirt in — we never skip the prep.
