Paver Installation FAQs
Sealing offers several benefits, including resistance to stains, easier removal of mold, moss, and mildew, and color enhancement. However, sealers need to be reapplied every 2-3 years and do not extend the life or durability of the pavers.
Yes, you can use a diluted bleach solution (10 parts water to 1 part Clorox) to remove moss or mold. However, it’s essential to address the moisture and shade issues that encourage growth for a more permanent solution.
While pavers can be laid over existing concrete, this method may raise the grade by about 1.2 inches and can result in issues if the concrete shifts. We usually recommend removing the concrete and using full 60 mm pavers.
One of the key benefits of pavers is that individual units can be replaced. Simply remove the surrounding sand, use flat head screwdrivers to lift the paver, and replace it with a new one.

This is likely efflorescence, a natural occurrence caused by mineral salts. It will usually weather away over time, but you can use a specialized cleaner from Techni-Seal to remove it sooner. Never use Muriatic Acid, as it can damage the pavers.

Infill is a sand-like material used during the final stages of turf installation. It adds weight to the turf and helps the fibers stand upright. We offer various types of infill, including silica sand and antimicrobial options, each providing unique benefits based on your specific needs.
