Maintaining Stamped Concrete: The Do’s and Don’ts

You just changed your old and tired asphalt driveway to a beautiful new patterned concrete one, so what’s next? One of the most important steps when adding patterned concrete to your home is something you do after all the stones have been laid: pattern concrete sealing. We’ve made it easier for you to learn about the benefits of pattern concrete, what happens during installation, and the do’s and don’t of maintenance. Become an informed consumer, so you know what to expect and how to best treat your driveway to get maximum use out of it!

Leaving your pattern concrete unfinished will subject it to future maintenance problems and earlier deterioration. It will damage easier from salting, winter snow, environmental factors and wear. However, after adding your pattern concrete sealing, your driveway will be protected better and longer from these threats.

Whether you are contacting Seal Tech to seal your new or old pattern concrete, our experts will bring your driveway (back) to life. We guarantee on-time arrival, as well as friendly and courteous service to you and your family! Using a commercial high pressure sprayer, we will first apply a chemical wash to remove any dirt or stains. Then we will personally hand scrub the stones to ensure they are prepped with a clean surface. Next, depending on the coat desired, whether it is natural, wet or semi gloss, we will apply an overlapping coat of sealant. Lastly, in order to ensure the surface is slip resistant, we use a final sealer to remove this danger.

Our professionals ensure your driveway looks brand new and is protected from any potential problems. The final step in the process involves you! Make sure to continually maintain your driveway so it will stay in great condition longer.
