Steps for Sealing Pavers

• SWEEP PAVERS CLEAN OF ALL DIRT AND DEBRIS
   
• LEVEL ANY PAVERS THAT MAY HAVE SETTLED OVER THE YEAR
   
• PRESSURE WASH ALL PAVERS MAKING THEM CLEAN AND ALSO REMOVING THE OLD SWEEP SAND FROM BETWEEN THE JOINTS
   
• NEXT STEP IS TO REMOVE ANY EFFLORESCENT, OIL, GREASE AND DIRT BY BUYING THE PROPER MATERIALS PROVIDED AT BERGMAN CONCRETE  AND FOLLOW THE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED ON THE CAN
   
• ENSURE PAVERS ARE DRY
   
• SWEEP NEW ENVIRO BOND SAND INTO JOINTS FILLING THEM 100% (ENVIRO BOND SAND AVAILABLE AT BERGMAN CONCRETE IN GRANITE AND NATURAL COLORS) NOTE: IT MUST BE A NICE SUNNY DAY TO COMPLETE THESE NEXT STEPS
   
• COMPACT PAVERS VIBRATING SAND INTO JOINTS
   
• SWEEP ALL EXCESS SAND INTO JOINTS AGAIN MAKING THEM FULL, SWEEP ANY EXCESS SAND TOTALLY OFF THE PAVERS (ANY LEFT OVER SAND ON THE PAVER WILL HARDEN ON PAVERS MAKING THEM LOOK DIRTY)
   
• MIST PAVERS DOWN LETTING THE WATER JUST POOL ON TOP, THIS ALLOWS THE PAVER JOINT TO HARDEN
   
• LET DRY FOR 24 HOURS
   
• AFTER THE PAVERS HAVE DRIED YOU MAY WANT TO WET DOWN AND CLEAN OFF ANY EXCESS DIRT, ONCE DIRT IS ALL REMOVED YOU CAN COMPLETE THE FINAL STEP
   
• SEAL THE PAVERS FOLLOWING THE PROPER INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BACK OF THE CAN (PAVER SEALER PROVIDED AT BERGMAN CONCRETE)
