Concrete pavers get their color by adding pigment to cement. Over time, the surface does wear down from traffic and weather, causing a gradual change in color. Sealing your concrete pavers can prevent not only fading of color, but also accumulation of dirt. Sealing your concrete pavers will also ensure easier surface cleaning and enhance the existing color.

Miller Landscape is pleased to offer you a way to protect your pavers [and your investment] with a sealing process that will:
Since proper sealing involves special cleaning, preparation and coating of your pavers, we invested in the professional certification of several of our team members who have completed the training and exams required to become Certified Applicators of Techniseal products. Techniseal manufactures the finest of paver cleaning and sealing products in the world. We are proud to be one of only 4 companies in Southeast Michigan to be trained and certified by Techniseal.
This is the process our team will follow to provide a “face lift” for your paver patios and walkways:
Additional Paver CareWhen you choose to have your pavers professionally cleaned and sealed by Miller Landscape, you will also have the option of having our crews replace your existing joint sand with Polymeric Joint Sand. This is an advanced sand product that locks in place because it is a special mixture of calibrated natural sand and flexible binders that stays within joints better than any other type of sand.
Polymeric Joint Sand:
Oil stains will not damage your pavers, but they can prove difficult to remove. Treat them as soon as possible by wiping the excess oil from the surface and washing them with a mild detergent and hot water. With stubborn stains you may need to do this several times. In a case where you simply cannot get a paver clean, replacing it may be the best solution. Pavers are made to be removed easily in just such a case. Again, sealing your pavers can also assist in managing stains.
Sometimes, weeds will appear in the joints of your pavers. Unfortunately, there is no way to completely eliminate this from happening. There are, however, a couple of preventative measures you can take. Sealing your pavers and the use of Polymeric Joint Sand are the easiest solutions for keeping weeds at bay. The use of an herbicide such as Roundup® applied directly to the joints can also significantly decrease the amount of weeds that grow and will not stain or harm your pavers
We would also be happy to do any paver repairs you may need done. Perhaps you have an area that has settled [with the help of chipmunks!] or a step that has loosened over time? Give us a call and we will be happy to provide a proposal for “touching up” and protecting your paver investment.

This is the process our team will follow to provide a “face lift” for your paver patios and walkways:
- First, they remove oil, rust and other stains [if possible] from your pavers
- Next, they clean them thoroughly with Techniseal Efflorescence or Hardscape Cleaners. [Efflorescence is a white residue caused by lime released within concrete pavers. It does not always occur and it does not damage the paver, but most of our customers prefer to have it removed for “cosmetic” reasons.]
- Finally, the team applies long-lasting, highly regarded, Techniseal paver protection in either a mat or satin finish. This sealant won’t peel or turn yellow and it resists calcium.
