Paver Care & Maintenance
Efflorescence is a natural process that occurs with almost all concrete and masonry products. Pavers exhibiting signs of efflorescence are NOT defective and since efflorescence is a natural process it is not covered under warranty.
Efflorescence is created when the calcium oxide naturally found in the cement mixes with water to form calcium hydroxide and then is leached to the surface of the paver where it comes in contact with the carbon dioxide in the air and then forms calcium carbonate which forms the white, chalky residue referred to as efflorescence.
Eventually efflorescence will disappear on its own, but if you wish to hasten the process then use an Efflorescence Cleaner
Applying bleach to a paver job is not recommended. Common dish soap can be used in conjunction with a light pressure wash.
No, muriatic acid will damage the surface of the pavers and cause pitting to appear.
Over time all pavers will begin to fade if left unsealed. Sealing your pavers with a Paver Sealer after the natural process of efflorescence is complete will provide a barrier of protection against UV rays and harsh climate.
Use Paint, Tar, and Rubber Remover to remove tire marks from pavers.
Use Professional Grade Oil and Grease Cleaner to remove oil and grease stains from pavers.
Sealing your pavers will help prevent oil stains and tire marks and make them easier to remove in the future.
It is not necessary to seal the pavers. Sealing does however retard fading the color of the pavers and provides a measure of protection from some stains. Before sealing, pavers must be clean and dry. It is recommended that you wait at least 30-60 days after installation before sealing. Once sealed, you will need to reseal approximately every three to five years.
The frequency of sealing pavers depends on the type of sealer used. Make sure you follow the guidelines of the sealer manufacturer. Sealing a paver project too soon between intervals can cause discolored pavers.
There are certain types of sealers that can be applied instantly to a paver job. We do recommend waiting 30-60 days after a paver job has been installed to apply sealer.
