stone restoration 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 completely, we apply a high-quality, breathable sealer that locks in color, repels water, and resists UV damage. Our sealers are formulated to prevent mold, algae, and moss while enhancing the natural beauty of clay, concrete, or stone pavers. The result is a durable, slip-resistant surface that looks brand new and requires less maintenance. Homeowners in Shine and Shield Hardscapes and Landscapes choose us because we take the time to properly prep each paver, ensuring maximum adhesion and long-term performance. Whether it's a small walkway or an expansive driveway, we tailor our approach to your specific paver type and desired finish—wet look, natural look, or matte. Protect your outdoor living spaces with professional paver sealing from Shine and Shield.

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. We then apply a premium penetrating sealer that soaks into the travertine, repelling liquids while allowing the stone to breathe. This prevents stains, resists efflorescence (white powder deposits), and reduces the risk of pitting and spalling. For pool decks, we also ensure the sealer meets slip-resistance standards for safety. After sealing, your travertine will be easier to clean, more resistant to weather, and will retain its warm, natural tones. Many Shine and Shield Hardscapes and Landscapes homeowners don't realize that routine sealing every 2-3 years can extend the life of their travertine by decades. We provide honest assessments, detailed estimates, and expert application you can trust. Let us preserve the timeless beauty of your travertine surfaces.

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 the type of sealer (water-based, solvent-based, acrylic, etc.) and the extent of failure before choosing the right removal method. We then apply eco-friendly strippers, agitate with soft-bristle brushes, and pressure-wash the residue away—all while protecting nearby plants and surfaces. After stripping, we allow the pavers to dry and inspect for any remaining coating. The result is a clean, porous surface ready for proper sealing or staining. We've saved Shine and Shield Hardscapes and Landscapes homeowners thousands of dollars by fixing botched jobs and restoring their pavers to original condition. Don't live with a cloudy, peeling mess.

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 a permanent color change—not just a surface coating. Our process includes deep cleaning, applying a color-enhancing stain in your chosen hue, and sealing for lasting protection. We can match existing colors, create contrasting borders, or give an entire patio a fresh, uniform look. Exposed aggregate? No problem. Faded concrete pavers? We can restore them. Clay pavers looking dull? We'll bring back their warmth. Even if your pavers are structurally sound but visually tired, staining offers a cost-effective facelift. Shine and Shield Hardscapes and Landscapes homeowners trust us for precise color matching and flawless application. Experience a brand-new look for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
