A proper sealant prevents erosion to the surface color, known as “fading,” that naturally occurs over time and guards the hardscape against oils, grease, and stains.
Designing and implementing a fun hardscape can add exciting depth to an outdoor area. However, ensuring that these outdoor artistic expressions are here to last requires an understanding of the different sealers used by true professionals to guarantee the quality of their work against weather and the elements. A proper sealant prevents erosion to the surface color, known as “fading,” that naturally occurs over time in addition to guarding the hardscape against oils, grease, or other stains to make maintenance easier while enhancing the beauty.
For maximum results, regular cleaning and reapplication of sealant is necessary. This helps concrete pavers retain their aesthetic value though does nothing to help with the structural aspects of the hardscape. A skilled landscape contractor can also tint paver sealant to a specified color or use the product to reinvigorate older pavers with their original color from before they faded. When the right attention is paid, there’s no reason concrete pavers can’t maintain the appearance for many years, no matter the local climate.
