Joint Re-Sanding

Failing joint sand (signified by growing weeds, moss and ants hills/insects) along with all other joint contents are removed by pressure washing with a special nozzle and setting.  Once surface is dry, new high-performance Polymeric Joint-Sand is swept into the joints, and then compacted using a vibratory plate compactor.  This process is repeated until the satisfactory density of polymers and sand is achieved.  Sand is then moistened with a hose in sequential steps to activate polymers (polymerization). 

Cleaning

With a stripping agent, any previous sealant coating and residue will be removed (if applicable and necessary.)  This is followed by cleaning with a Hardscape Cleaner/Paver Primer to free the surface of any ground in dirt, efflorescence, staining or oxidation, and to open the concrete pores to “accept” the new sealer that will be applied.

Sealing

Using semi-gloss finishes,the surface will be sealed with either a natural-look, wet-look or clear-look water-based sealer.  This leaves a water resistant, luxurious finish to protect from future wear, staining, dirt, and contamination.  This helps to sustain and enhancing the look & life of your hardscape.
