Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Mountain Lakes, NJ
Re-sand and seal your pavers to lock out weeds, stains and wash-out for years.
Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Mountain Lakes, NJ
Mountain Lakes is a tricky place to own pavers. The borough's older Hapgood-era homes and the newer builds up along the wooded hillsides both sit on ground that drains slow, so patios and walkways stay damp longer than they do a town over. That shade from all the mature oaks and the moisture off the actual lakes means green algae film and dark spotting show up fast on unsealed pavers.
We're a family-owned exterior cleaning outfit that works all over North Jersey, and paver work here follows a pattern. We clean the surface first, re-set any joints with polymeric sand, then seal. Skipping the cleaning and sand step is why a lot of DIY seal jobs cloud up or trap the algae underneath. Done right, the sand locks the joints against weeds and ants, and the sealer helps the surface shed our freeze-thaw winters instead of pitting from road salt and shovels.
Most driveways off Boulevard and the side streets near the lakes need a good soft wash before anything else. We'll tell you honestly whether your pavers are ready to seal or need to fully dry out first — no upselling a wet patio.

After the cleaning a few leaves blocked the gutter after a heavy rain. They responded quickly and courteously, removing the blockage touched up ,y skylights as well. Before leaving they made sure I was satisfied. Oscar and his team came a few weeks later and sanded and sealed my paver walkway. They were polite and professional, explaining what they were doing, how long it would take, and instructions to ensure the best possible result. What I loved most was the professionalism in their communication. There were several days that we were rescheduled due to heavy rains and storms. The first thing they assured us of was their intent to make sure the job was done correctly. They would not come out to do the work, only to have it washed away. They stayed in contact every step of the way and I felt more than comfortable that the job would get completed the right way. If they couldn’t reach h me by phone they always left a voicemail or sent a text. I just happened to call them first in my search for roof cleaning, but I will never have to look further for these services again. I was really so impressed. Thank you Gallo Bros!”

“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.”

“Awesome experience. I called and left a message over a weekend, they called me back quickly and schedule appointment. 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.”

Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Mountain Lakes — FAQ
How often should pavers be resealed in Mountain Lakes?
Generally every 2-4 years, but shaded, damp lots near the lakes may lean toward the shorter end because moisture and algae work harder on the surface. We'll check the wear and tell you if it can wait.
Do you re-sand the joints before sealing?
Yes. We install polymeric sand in the joints as part of the process. It hardens to resist weeds, ants, and washout, and it's the step most DIY jobs skip — which is why they fail early.
Can you seal pavers in fall before winter?
Fall is fine as long as the pavers are fully dry and we have a stretch of mild, rain-free days. We won't seal over damp pavers because North Jersey humidity can leave a cloudy haze. Timing matters more than season.
Will sealing help against road salt and freeze-thaw damage?
A quality sealer helps the surface shed water and resist salt and de-icer that gets tracked onto driveways over the winter. It won't make pavers indestructible, but it reduces pitting and staining.
Do you clean the pavers first?
Always. We soft wash off the algae, dirt, and any organic film first. Sealing over that just traps it under a shiny coat, and it'll look worse in a year.
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.
