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.

Lucas showed up on time dress in press shirt and paints with a iPad taking notes and pictures. Provided a very reasonable quote and scheduled appointment. The truck 3 team showed up earlier than scheduled and could not have been any nicer. The had a small problem with gear and let me know. Ther office also called and apologized to inform me of the problem. Truck 3 team came back and finished the job. The job they did was excellent. You can see on before pictures I had staining around window where shutters were installed. The after picture you can hardly tell. Super professional, kind and fair price. Wish all vendors were as professional and trustworthy as worthy as Gallo Bros is.”

“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.”

“Before and after photos attached. Gallo Bros Power Washing is a must. Our pavers were full of weeds which took me hours to pull out only to have to do again a week later when they grew back. With two short days, our pavers looked brand new. After the men power washed our pavers, my husband and I could barely believe they did not totally replace them haha When they arrived day 2 to fill in and sand the pavers, again we were speechless. Our yard looks completely new. We are so appreciative of the quick and professional work they did as well as the friendliness and quick responses we received. Highly recommend this service!”

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.
Do you do paver sealing near me?
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.
What is paver restoration, versus just sealing?
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.
How much does paver sealing cost in NJ?
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.
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.
