Driveway Cleaning and Sealing

Before sealing, the surface needs to be properly cleaned and prepared. We remove dirt, moss, algae and loose debris by powerfully jet washing the surface before allowing the surface to dry fully. For block paving, kiln-dried sand is brushed back into the joints after cleaning to help stabilise the blocks and improve the finished appearance.

A good quality sealer can help protect against staining, weather damage, fading and weed growth while helping block paving and patios remain cleaner and easier to maintain.

Why Seal a Driveway or Patio?

Block paving, patios and paving, paths are exposed to everyday use, changing weather, moss, algae, weeds, staining and general wear. Driveway sealing can help protect the surface, improve the colour and make future maintenance easier.

For older paving, cleaning, re-sanding and sealing can often make a driveway or patio look much fresher without the cost of completely replacing the area.

What Is Involved in Driveway Sealing?

Sealing is best carried out on a clean, dry surface. The exact process depends on the condition of the driveway or patio, but usually includes cleaning, preparation, re-sanding and sealing.

Cleaning and preparation: Dirt, moss, algae and loose debris are removed from the surface.
Drying time: The paving must be allowed to dry properly before sealant is applied.
Re-sanding: For block paving, kiln-dried sand is brushed back into the joints after cleaning.
Sealing: A suitable sealer is applied evenly to help protect and enhance the surface.

We can seal a range of outdoor surfaces including block paving, permeable block paving, cobbles, concrete paving, natural stone patios and many other patio surfaces.

Driveway Sealing for Older Block Paving

Older block paving can often look tired because of faded colour, weeds in the joints, moss growth, staining or missing kiln-dried sand. In many cases, the driveway does not need replacing and may simply need careful cleaning, re-sanding and sealing.

This can be a practical option if you want to improve the appearance of your driveway, make it easier to maintain and help protect it from further wear.

Patio Sealing and Path Sealing

Green Onion Landscaping also provides patio sealing and path sealing for homeowners who want to protect and refresh existing outdoor areas. This can be useful for paved seating areas, garden paths, courtyard spaces and patios that have become dull, stained or harder to keep clean.

A properly cleaned and sealed patio can look brighter, feel fresher and be easier to maintain throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Driveway Sealing

Will driveway sealing stop weeds completely?

No driveway sealer can guarantee that weeds will never appear again. However, sealing can help reduce weed growth by stabilising the jointing sand and reducing the opportunity for weed seeds to establish.

Will sealing my driveway change the colour?

Some driveway sealers are designed to enhance and enrich the natural colour of block paving, making the surface appear brighter and more vibrant. Other sealers provide a more natural finish with little change to the appearance.
