Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Hillsdale, NJ
Re-sand and seal your pavers to lock out weeds, stains and wash-out for years.
Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Hillsdale, NJ
If you live in Hillsdale, you already know what our winters and spring thaws do to a paver patio. Freeze-thaw cycles heave the joints, summer downpours wash out the sand, and before long you've got weeds pushing up between the pavers and ants building little dirt mounds along the edges. Gallo Bros is a family-owned crew out of North Jersey, and we handle a lot of paver work right here in the Hillsdale and Pascack Valley area.
Many of the homes we see around town are the classic Bergen County split-levels, colonials, and older capes, and a lot of them have paver walkways, front steps, or back patios that were installed years ago and never re-sealed. That's the part homeowners miss: the joint sand needs refreshing and the surface needs a proper seal to hold color and repel water. We clean the pavers, re-sand the joints with polymeric sand, let everything set, then apply the sealer.
We don't do gimmicks or high-pressure sales. We'll come look at your pavers, tell you honestly whether they need sealing yet, and give you a straight number. That's it.
- Local crew that knows Hillsdale homes
- Soft-wash & low-pressure methods that protect your surfaces
- Licensed, insured & background-checked
- Upfront pricing — same-week scheduling

5.0 · 901+ Google reviews“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!”

“I wanted power wash my backyard deck for a long time but they said it cannot be done due to the equipment was not accessible however Gallo Brothers had very long 400feet hose and did the power wash which was not done for many years. I am very happy they did a very good job specially Mark was very helpful to do front porch and walkway. It is speck clean this is exactly what I wanted to do. I do highly recommend Gallo Bothers meticulous job.”

Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Hillsdale — FAQ
How often should pavers in Hillsdale be sealed?
Most paver surfaces here do well on a 3-to-5 year cycle, but it depends on sun exposure and traffic. A shaded north-facing walkway holds up longer than a driveway that bakes in full sun all summer. We'll tell you honestly if yours can wait.
What is polymeric sand and why do I need it?
Polymeric sand is a joint sand mixed with binders that hardens when activated with water. It locks the pavers together, keeps weeds and ants out of the joints, and stops the washout you get from our heavy North Jersey rain and snowmelt. We install it before sealing.
When is the best time of year to seal pavers in Bergen County?
Late spring through early fall is ideal. We need dry weather and moderate temps for the sand to cure and the sealer to bond, so we avoid sealing right before a rain stretch or once the cold sets in.
Will sealing change how my pavers look?
It depends on the sealer. Some finishes leave a natural matte look while others add a wet or satin sheen that deepens the color. We'll show you options so you get the look you actually want before we start.
Do you clean the pavers first?
Yes. We clean the surface, remove old sand and weeds from the joints, and let everything dry before re-sanding and sealing. Sealing over dirt or a wet surface is how you get a cloudy, peeling mess later.
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.
