Natural landscaping beautifully frames your home and adds appealing texture and color. Hardscaping adds even more texture plus a lot of functionality. But what is hardscaping?

Concrete paver driveways and sidewalks, brick pathways, natural stone patios, travertine pool decks... These are all examples of hardscapes that accent your home or business and improve your property's functionality. As hard as these surfaces are, they still need the right care in order to look their best and function as they should.

If you ignore your hardscape, it won't send out stray branches or shrivel and die. But it won't exactly look its best, either. Neglected hardscapes look... neglected! Here are three reasons you really should take care of your pavers just like you do the rest of your landscaping.

Unsealed pavers absorb moisture and can swell and shift over time. Sealing pavers also allows your patio or pool deck to drain properly after a rainfall. Without proper drainage, the bed under your pavers could start eroding, resulting in even more shifting and unevenness. 

Sealed pavers retain their beautiful color and gain protection from staining and fading in between sealings. And wasn't that color the reason you choose them in the first place?

A good sealant that is properly applied protects your pavers from the elements, helping them hold up to routine sealing over many years. While nothing can keep away weeds 100%, sealing can help slow down the growth which can quickly lead to deterioration of your pavers.

Now that you've seen the benefits of paver sealing, don't you think your pavers deserve a little care and attention?
