Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Montvale, NJ

It depends on square footage, paver condition, and whether the joints need full re-sanding first. We give a straight number after seeing it in person — no ballpark-then-upcharge routine. Reach out and we'll come look.

Polymeric sand has a binder that hardens when activated with water, so it resists washout, weeds, and ants far better than plain joint sand. With our freeze-thaw winters and heavy spring rain in Bergen County, it's worth the difference on almost every job.

Late spring through early fall, when we get a dry, warm stretch. Sealer and polymeric sand both need dry conditions to cure right, so we watch the forecast and won't rush it before rain.

Always. Sealing over dirt, weeds, or old failing sand just traps the problem. We clean, re-sand the joints, let everything set, then seal. Skipping the prep is why a lot of DIY and cheap jobs peel.

Generally a few years before it needs a refresh, depending on sun exposure, traffic, and the sealer used. Driveways that take vehicle weight and full sun wear faster than a shaded backyard patio.

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.
