Why Homeowners Should Restore Their Patio with Power Washing, Polymeric Sand, Edging, and Sealer

It all begins with an idea.

Over time, patios can lose their original beauty and stability due to weather, foot traffic, weeds, and erosion. But with a professional restoration that includes power washing, polymeric sand, fresh edging, and sealing, your patio can look brand new again — and stay that way for years.

Why Power Washing Matters

Dirt, grime, algae, and moss don’t just look bad — they can also make your patio slippery and unsafe. Our high-powered cleaning process blasts away years of buildup, revealing the natural beauty of your pavers and prepping them for the next restoration steps.

The Importance of Polymeric Sand

After power washing, the joints between your pavers are often loose or empty. We replace them with polymeric sand, a special blend that hardens with water to lock the pavers in place. This helps prevent weed growth, insect infestation, and shifting — giving your patio a clean, solid, and durable finish.

Replacing Edging for Stability

Old or damaged edging allows pavers to shift and sag over time. We install brand-new professional-grade edging to ensure your patio stays tight, level, and crisp around the edges — just like it was meant to be.

Sealing: The Finishing Touch

Once everything is in place, sealing protects your investment. We offer different types of sealers to match your preferences:

  • Natural Look Sealers – Enhance and protect without adding shine.

  • Satin or Matte Finish – Gives a soft, low-sheen appearance.

  • Glossy/Wet Look Sealers – Deepens color and adds a rich, glossy finish.

  • Color-Enhancing Sealers – Brings out the vibrancy of your pavers.

Sealer not only boosts appearance — it also helps resist stains, fading, and water damage.
