Shine and Shield Hardscapes and Landscapes

Your paver driveway, patio, or walkway endures constant exposure to sun, rain, foot traffic, and vehicle weight. Over time, pavers can fade, become stained, or develop moss and mildew. Paver sealing is the most effective way to protect your investment and restore that fresh, vibrant look. At Shine and Shield, we begin with a thorough cleaning using professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly detergents to remove embedded dirt, oil spots, and biological growth. After allowing the surface to dry...

Travertine is a beautiful, natural stone that adds elegance to any pool deck, patio, or driveway. However, it is also highly porous and susceptible to staining from oil, grease, rust, and even red wine. Without proper sealing, moisture can seep in, leading to mold, mildew, and freeze-thaw damage. At Shine and Shield, we specialize in travertine sealing to protect your stone investment. Our process starts with a gentle but thorough cleaning to remove surface dirt and open the pores of the stone....

Sometimes, previous paver sealing jobs go wrong. Maybe an inexperienced contractor applied a low-quality sealer that turned hazy, yellowed, or peeled. Perhaps they sealed over dirt, mold, or algae, trapping moisture and accelerating paver deterioration. In these cases, the only solution is professional paver sealer removal. At Shine and Shield, we use specialized stripping agents and equipment to safely remove failed sealers without damaging your pavers or the joint sand. Our technicians assess...

Over time, pavers can fade due to UV exposure, or they may become stained beyond cleaning. Maybe you simply want a new color to match a landscape renovation. Paver staining is an affordable alternative to replacement that transforms washed-out or mismatched pavers into a cohesive, rich surface. Shine and Shield is one of the few companies in the nation with advanced experience in tinting pavers. We use high-quality, breathable stains that penetrate the paver surface and chemically bond, creating...

Your paver driveway, patio, or walkway takes a beating from sun, rain, foot traffic, and vehicle weight. Over time pavers fade, stain, or grow moss and mildew. We start with a thorough cleaning using professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly detergents to lift embedded dirt, oil spots, and growth. Once the surface has dried completely, we apply a breathable sealer that locks in color, repels water, and resists UV damage. The finish can be wet look, natural, or matte, and we tailor the approa...

Travertine is a beautiful natural stone for pool decks, patios, and driveways, but it is porous and picks up stains from oil, grease, rust, and even red wine. Left unsealed, moisture can seep in and lead to mold, mildew, and freeze-thaw damage. We begin with a gentle but thorough cleaning to remove surface dirt and open the stone's pores. Then we apply a penetrating sealer that soaks in, repels liquids, and still lets the stone breathe. It helps prevent staining, white efflorescence, and pitting...

Concrete driveways, patios, and walkways face constant wear from weather, road salt, and everyday use, which can leave them dusty, stained, or prone to cracking. We clean the surface thoroughly so the sealer can bond properly. Then we apply a quality concrete sealer that helps guard against moisture, oil stains, and surface deterioration while enhancing the color. The finish can be adjusted to suit your preference. Sealing concrete regularly is an inexpensive way to extend its life and keep it l...

When pavers have faded from years of sun or stains won't come out with cleaning, staining can bring back a rich, even color without the expense of replacement. Our stains penetrate the paver surface and bond with it, so the color becomes part of the paver rather than a thin layer on top. We deep clean first, apply the stain in the shade you choose, and seal the surface for lasting protection. We can match existing colors, add contrasting borders, or refresh an entire patio for a uniform look. Ex...

Paver striping adds painted or stained lines and accents to a paver surface, such as parking outlines, decorative borders, or walkway markings. It is a practical way to define areas and add visual interest to a driveway, patio, or pool deck. We prepare the surface carefully so the lines bond well and hold up to foot and vehicle traffic. We work with you on layout, line width, and color so the design suits your home and property. Once complete, the striping can be sealed to protect it from weathe...

Cracked, sunken, or shifted pavers can create tripping hazards and make a driveway or patio look worn. Our repair work starts with an inspection to find the cause, whether it is a settled base, loose joint sand, or damaged units. We lift and reset pavers where needed, replace broken ones with matching material when possible, and re-level the surface so it drains and sits properly. Joint sand is replenished to keep the pavers locked in place. Repairs are finished with cleaning so the work blends...

Artificial grass offers a green, low-maintenance lawn that stays looking good through the year without mowing, watering, or fertilizing. Installation begins with removing the existing lawn and preparing a level base with proper drainage. We then lay a weed barrier, spread and compact the base material, and install the turf with secure seams and edges. Infill is added to help the blades stand upright and to support the surface underfoot. A clean, well-finished installation makes a real difference...

Natural stone surfaces can lose their finish over time, showing dullness, staining, etching, or wear from weather and foot traffic. Restoration brings back the original character of the stone through careful cleaning, repair of surface damage, and a protective finish that suits the material. We assess the stone type first, since different stones need different care, and we explain what we recommend before starting. The work is designed to restore the stone's look while protecting it for the long...
