How Often Should Pavers Be Sealed?

A paver patio, walkway, or driveway is a serious investment in your home. Sealing is what keeps that investment looking great and lasting for decades — but timing matters.

Most paver surfaces should be resealed every 2–4 years. The exact timing depends on foot and vehicle traffic, sun exposure, and the type of sealer used.

High-traffic driveways and sun-baked patios on the south side of a home tend to need resealing sooner, while shaded, low-traffic walkways can go longer.

Sealing enhances and protects paver color, blocks oil and organic stains, and locks in the polymeric joint sand that keeps pavers from shifting.

It also dramatically reduces weed growth between pavers and makes routine cleaning far easier — a quick rinse instead of a scrub.

Sealing works best alongside fresh polymeric sand. This special sand hardens when activated with water, stabilizing your pavers and preventing the washout and weed growth that plague unsealed hardscapes.
