Do I need sealer on my pavers?
No, sealer is optional. There are various types of sealers including color enhancer sealer, wet look sealer, and the most popular–joint stabilizer sealer. This particular sealer locks in the joints to help prevent weeds or any other growth from occurring between the pavers. It also works to inhibit staining, though it does not eliminate all stains.

-
Should I go with a one-stop landscaping shop or a dedicated pavers company?
If someone claims to be a one-stop shop, make sure you have them break down your entire project into separate components. This way you can see exactly what each task would cost separately. You might find that their irrigation price is great, but their paver price is 30 to 50% more than the dedicated paver contractors quoted. If you have the choice to work with a company that specializes in the field of pavers, artificial grass, or whatever service you’re looking for, we recommend working directly with those companies. Because that is their main or only service, you will end up with a much better installation and save a lot of money at the same time! At Install-It-Direct, our crews have more than 25 years of experience in their given field. Our paver installers only do pavers, and our turf installers only do turf, etc.
