HOW TO Seal Pavers & Pool Coping | Using A Garden Sprayer DIY

[@lindatheodorou9827]

Awesome video. You really showed exactly how to do this job. It sure does look like a great outcome, so much better results than paying $1,000 for someone to come out and do a quick job. My Dad always used to say "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself", lol, but truer words were never spoken!

[@sherilundblad]

Thank you for this video! I wish I would have watched your video prior to hiring someone to "Seal" our new pool pavers. They came and brushed sand into the cracks and then left...never "sealing" the pavers. So now 9 months later we have to seal the patio area. Ty for this how to video!!

[@markkoerner6308]

This is the best instructional video that I've seen on this kind of job. Looking forward to doing this myself, rather than paying my installer over $1000!

[@admindrgroup442]

I love and thank the way you explained all! You didn’t hold back anything… many thanks!

[@AndreaGrace206]

This is awesome! I just finished pressure washing and wanted to research next steps to ensure I preserve my pool area and pavers. Love the tip with the paint brush and edges! Heading to the store to grab supplies! Thank you for taking the time to put this together!

[@rebekah1836]

I pressure washed Friday and just did my polymeric sand. Still debating which sealant to go with because I don't want anything slippery or something that needs to be stripped in a few yrs. Would like to hear what you end up using for a sealant. My local box stores don't have many options

[@sergiosierra1859]

This was hard work on over 1700 sqf of decking, but it turn out fantastic.. thank you for the how to video. After using 20 gallons of sealer, it turn out amazing .

Good to know you dilute muratic 50/50. I haven't tried it yet. I didn't know those white 16" pavers stain so easily. I just dry set some fancier pavers and was wondering if I could seal them before I add any of that filled sand stuff

[@be18-h5e23]

Very nice video on how to apply the sealer. Does the sealer harden the sane in the joint?

[@deuceliter]

Yes, the sand will also harden which is what you want to prevent the sand from washing out 👍

[@duckbrew]

you get that dyco at lowes too??

[@deuceliter]

Yes, I got it from Lowes

Great job Grisell, that is awesome! You will probably need to re-seal every 3 - 5 years.

@@deuceliter Thank you , it turned out great ,Wow I never thought I could do this, next project, crack on driveway.

[@diamond6256]

Is that sealer a breathable sealer? I used one that was not, it turned white and it is peeling off.

[@deuceliter]

No issues like you stated with it, and it's been about 4 years since I put it down. I'll probably need a new coat in another year or two to freshen it up.

[@jamiegustkey2573]

Great instructional video! Thank you for your work! After sanding it and then sealing it… did it keep plant/moss growth from happening? 👍🏻

[@deuceliter]

Yes, it definitely helps, but over time, the sand will wash out again, and seeds can blow into the cracks, and you'll see some plants growing through. Sealing the sand helps keep it in place longer 👍

[@jamiegustkey2573]

@@deuceliter thank you for your response partner! I appreciate it * Keep on! 👍🏻

[@duckbrew]

So I have brand new pavers put down. paver guys will be done tomorrow. I'm starting on this saturday. 3 days after. You think 2 coats will be good?? thx

[@deuceliter]

A very thick coat is enough to seal and protect the pavers. If you want the added protection and gloss, then 2 coats are fine 🙂

[@duckbrew]

thanks!

[@duckbrew]

@@deuceliter I'm in Fl as well. You probably did this during the winter months when rain was less likely?? It's mid June and I think I picked a bad time to seal. It's been raining every aft after 2 or so for the past wk so I gotta keep an eye on the weather as I wanna get this done soon. The pavers nearest the house are taking a long time to dry out to I noticed...yikes I gotta figure this out

[@johnpressurewashingpaintin9066]

just a few tips if you used a surface cleaner 16inch for a 4gpm pressure washer applied house hold bleach to the surface first that would kill all mold and agley in cracks and make wash time go much quicker, then you get to the sealer phase i recommend using a typhoon v2 back pack by flowzone that will give you a nice flow rate and also speed up time, never want to add sealer with a brush or roller after you re sanded to prevent any loose sand you may have missed from getting in those tools for best results spray the sealer on lightly in figure 8 patters then come back with a second coat it helps hide any over lapping.

[@JOSHUAloves1]

Do you have missed the mark completely. You think you know but you don't and it's sad because you waste people's time and money with your pride rather than learning from people like me that have made the mistakes and know exactly how to clean out the joints in an inch to an inch and a half so the polymeric sand will set up properly. You guys are the reason I'm so great in 6 weeks out at times.

[@idontwatchfilm]

@@JOSHUAloves1 what do you recommend for proper sanding and making sure there is nothing on top? Finished my own pavers and definitely sealed some sand on top even after a wet-vac, leaf blower, and broom all used multiple times. Plz lmk just became a LLC working on our craft before trying to give customers a great product.

[@prestigeproductionsaustral1171]

Any recommendations please about pre sealing before laying and grouting? Cool video lots of work but great result

[@deuceliter]

Thank you! You will want to seal after you lay sand. The sealer will harden the sand and makes it harder for plants to grow in the cracks.

[@marissaburgess6023]

@@deuceliter thanks but I was referring to gluing the tile down and then grouting, not sanding. I need to know whether the tile should be sealed prior to the grouting process or if just after is ok?

[@slashdotjeo]

Hi. Does this work with marble pavers? Do you also recommend pressure washing the paver?

[@Firekid144]

Nice job, thanks...about the polymer sand...who cares (the pavers sand works for the purpose). Thank you.

[@jamesgatlin4162]

Very helpful thanks.

[@ncvman]

Why kind of pavers? Belgrade lafitt rustic? Hatteras color?

[@cjiscool8668]

Is the sprayer the best way? Can i use a roller?

[@joshseal2000]

Some sealers don't react well to rollers so I would recommend using a sprayer.

[@tuckerrobertson8781]

Hi and awesome. How long did you wait after installation before sealing? Thanks.

[@sergiosierra1859]

What if it rains on it after install.

[@deuceliter]

Should be fine unless you're trying to apply it while it's raining. Then you may have issues with it adhering to the pavers. If it rained a few hours after application shouldn't be an issue as long as it was warm outside to help dry it.

[@jakedior9419]

My area is about 600-700 Sq ft. How many gallons and did you have you had any peeling issues since sealing? Most resources suggest the use of water based but solvent based brings out the color, though it's prone to scaling and peeling. I have the very exact pavers. Did you ever consider using a bit darker sealer (for better color enhancement) or using something more glossy? I'm kinda torn between all these choices. Please advise. Thanks a million.

[@deuceliter]

I used 5 gallons to completely cover one thick coat. No issues or peeling so far 🙂

[@pabadear]

@@deuceliter So going on 3 years now with no issues? Great to hear! Does the glossy / wet look still appear to be the same as when you first sealed?

[@deuceliter]

@Peter Abadear no issues with sealer but I suggest using the polymeric sand. Most of the thin sand I originally used washed out over time. The wet look is still there but more subtle now with age. I will probably need to redo it in a year or two.

[@pabadear]

@@deuceliterthanks for the tip regarding polymeric sand. I had my patio just redone and the polymeric sand washed out after 8 days of clear skies. Was hoping to retry it again but this time sealing it after re-sanding. I was going to proceed with the regular sand as you did to save some cost but I suppose I’ll do it with polymeric sand again. Fingers crossed the sealer is the missing piece to my initial erosion. Would you use the Dyco sealer again? I ordered Glaze N’ Seal due to limited availability where I live. Any experience with that one?

[@deuceliter]

@Peter Abadear haven't heard of it. I would most likely use Dyco again. So far so good 👍

[@ginapaquet5563]

Out of curiosity.. how much would a project like this cost??

[@deuceliter]

It cost me around $200 for the one coat of sealer in supplies.

Are those travertine pavers?

[@pccoder]

Thanks. This will help.

[@TheSmatlock]

So you never brushed it on? You just sprayed and left it?

[@deuceliter]

Yep, just sprayed it on and let it dry. I did however brush the coping.

[@MrDetailer-gn9hy]

Can you complete the whole process in one day?

[@deuceliter]

If the pavers are newer/clean, then yes you can complete in a day. However, you shouldn't seal pavers that are dirty as the sealer seals in that dirt.

[@nestasurf8378]

Turned out great 👍

[@deuceliter]

Thank you for watching!

[@gabrielrivera1915]

How has sand held up? Did it wash away or did sealer keep it in place? Good vid!

[@deuceliter]

It has done well, the sealer has kept it in place over the last year. When I go to redo it again in a few years I will probably use the polymeric sand since that is what is technically suggested. But overall no issues with it.

[@pressurewashergrowth]

[@brucemaguire2757]

I’m curious, how much do you charge for this size job? I’m starting my own business dealing with cleaning among many other services and considering adding this as well. Any information you could share on the subject would be highly appreciative 🙂

[@deuceliter]

It cost me around $200 for the one coat of sealer in supplies. It took about 4-5 hours work time including prep work, so just add your labor cost per hour and that should give you a rough estimate. If you are doing it commercially use the polymeric sand for the best results, which cost slightly more.

[@brucemaguire2757]

@@deuceliter interesting. I appreciate the information

[@213gixxer]

Update??

[@deuceliter]

Overall still looks great, I would suggest using the polymeric sand though, I'll use that next time. Some of the smaller sand has washed out.

[@nestasurf8378]

Great video man 🤟👍✌️

[@rubenarce4057]

Does it make the pavers slippery?

[@deuceliter]

It does make it slippery when wet so I suggest using a grip additive when applying. Thanks for watching!

[@JOSHUAloves1]

Polymer will not set up because you are not cleaning the joints out properly. You need a zero-turn to clean the joints out an inch to an inch and a half and get all the old crap out of them so that the polymer can set up not overflowing out of the joints but set up slightly below the top of the paver and then mist it so it'll harden up. 👍

[@pabadear]

He didn't use Polymer sand. He said the bag costs a few dollars, so no way is that Polymer sand. He used regular paver sand to fill in cracks/voids in his existing joint sand.

[@romancarmona8970]

Great video, except he forgets to said that the pavers become slippery when wet, what constitute a safety hazard on a pool deck.

[@aceyorba]

What a pain in the A$$

[@JOSHUAloves1]

This is the worst thing you can do. Do not add sand clean the joints out properly and reinstall the polymeric. The joints need to be blasted out and cleaned out an inch. All the dirt weeds and everything else that's in the cracks needs to be removed. For the polymer to set up properly what he's doing is a waste of time and it gets you nowhere in the long run. You're going to do the install do the install properly and clean out the joints.

[@deuceliter]

Appreciate the expert opinion Joshua, I agree if you can afford the polymer sand you will get better results in the long run. My papers were roughly a year old and still had a lot of polymer in the joints. This is an at home DIY to help save money for a similar result. Its been about 6 months and have had zero issues with my pavers, joints, etc. Still looks as beautiful as the first day. Again appreciate the feedback!

[@bigboiron2570]

Exactly

[@JOSHUAloves1]

Oh boy I just realized you're not even using the proper sand. Absolute fail. It has to be a polymer the joints have to be cleaned out an inch to an inch and a half. Properly.

[@johnpressurewashingpaintin9066]

thats b.s

[@JOSHUAloves1]

@@johnpressurewashingpaintin9066 no you're the only one that's full of crap dude. The proper way is inch to an inch and a half properly cleaned out before you install the polymeric sand. Find some humility before you lose or even worse waste other people's time and money
