Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Essex Fells, NJ
Re-sand and seal your pavers to lock out weeds, stains and wash-out for years.
Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Essex Fells, NJ
If you own a home in Essex Fells, chances are your pavers are doing a lot of heavy lifting. This is a borough of established properties — center-hall colonials, brick Tudors, and larger lots set back off winding streets like Roseland Avenue and Fells Road — where a bluestone or concrete-paver walkway and driveway is often the first thing people see. Over time, our North Jersey weather takes its toll: freeze-thaw cycles crack the joints, weeds push up through the sand, and summer humidity feeds moss and mildew on shaded, tree-lined driveways.
That's where paver sealing and polymeric sand come in. We're Gallo Bros, a family-owned exterior cleaning company, and we clean the pavers first, re-sand the joints with polymeric sand to lock everything in place, then seal to guard against stains, fading, and water intrusion. It's not a template job — a heavily shaded back patio needs a different approach than a sun-baked front walk.
Because Essex Fells sits on rolling terrain with mature trees, drainage and organic staining are real factors here. We'd rather look at your actual pavers than quote you sight-unseen. Give us a call and we'll walk it with you.

“Gallo Bros powerwashing team headed up by Joe, did a great job on our exposed, lakefront home. They went above and beyond to remove dirt and mildew from our house siding, soffits and multiple bluestone patios and walkways, as well as our dock and wood furniture. They also took great care to avoid or work around multiple bird nests which had recently hatched babies pre fledge. I will definitely call them in the future!”
Cathy Marshall
“We hired Gallo Bros Power Washing to power wash, re-sand and seal our 20 year old paver patio and front walk. They also performed a few repairs and reset a few areas that needed attention. We had never had this done professionally before. From the beginning estimating phase to the final coat of sealer, we were very happy with the services provided, the price and the final result, which they also warrantee for 1 year. I highly recommend Gallo Bros. Power Washing and will use them for other services in the future.”

Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Essex Fells — FAQ
Do you clean the pavers before sealing?
Yes, always. We soft wash or surface-clean the pavers to remove dirt, moss, and mildew — common on the shadier, tree-covered lots in Essex Fells — before any sand or sealer goes down. Sealing over dirt just locks the grime in.
What is polymeric sand and why does it matter here?
Polymeric sand is a jointing sand that hardens when activated with water, locking pavers in place and resisting weeds and washout. With our NJ freeze-thaw winters, standard sand erodes fast — polymeric holds up much better through repeated snow, salt, and rain cycles.
When is the best time of year to seal pavers in Essex Fells?
Late spring through early fall is ideal. You need a stretch of dry, moderate weather so the sand cures and the sealer bonds properly. We steer clear of sealing right before a hard rain or once overnight temps drop too low.
Will sealing make my driveway or walkway slippery?
We can talk through finish options during the estimate. Different sealers offer different sheen levels, and for driveways and walkways we discuss what makes sense for traction and appearance on your specific surface.
Do you do other exterior work while you're here?
We do. A lot of Essex Fells homeowners have us handle the house soft wash, gutters, roof, or windows in the same visit. It's often easier and better value to knock out a few things while our crew is on site.
How much does paver sealing cost in NJ?
Most patios and driveways run about $1.50–$3.50 per square foot depending on condition and sealer. We clean, re-sand and seal — and quote it all up front, free.
What is polymeric sand and why does it matter?
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.
How long does paver sealing last?
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.
Do you clean the pavers first?
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.
