Paver Sealing & Polymeric Sand in Westwood, NJ

Late spring through early fall is ideal. You want dry pavers and daytime temps consistently above the mid-50s, so the sealer cures before Bergen County's damp fall and freezing winter set in. We avoid sealing right before a rain.

In most cases here, yes. Older Westwood patios and walks usually have washed-out or weedy joints. Re-sanding with polymeric sand locks the pavers together and resists the freeze-thaw shifting we get every winter. Sealing over empty joints just traps the problem.

Typically around 3–5 years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and drainage. Shaded, tree-covered lots common in older Westwood neighborhoods can hold moisture longer, so we'll check your specific conditions and let you know honestly.

The polymeric sand does the heavy lifting there—it hardens in the joints and greatly cuts down on weeds and ant nesting. The sealer then helps hold everything in place and resists staining from salt and pollen.

Always. We won't seal over dirt, algae, or old sand. We clean the surface, let it dry fully, re-sand the joints, then seal. Sealing dirty pavers locks the grime in permanently, and we won't do that.

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.
