Paver and concrete sealing in Hopkins, SC
Hopkins is Lower Richland, the flat, wooded country that runs down toward Congaree National Park. A driveway that has just been cleaned is the easiest thing in the world to keep clean, for about a month. Then the pores open back up and, with the low ground near the swamp and Congaree National Park, the green moves back in. A sealer closes them, so stains sit on top and the next clean is a rinse rather than a job. Lower Richland, Garners Ferry Road and Bluff Road are all regular stops.
Included in every paver and concrete sealing job
Cleaning is part of the job. Sealer goes on clean, dry, re-sanded pavers or clean concrete, never over dirt.
- Cleaned first, the same surface clean we do on its own, so the sealer bonds to the surface and not to a layer of grime.
- Dried properly. Sealer over damp concrete turns cloudy. We wait for the surface to dry, usually a day or two after the clean.
- Pavers re-sanded and the sand locked in by the sealer, so joints stay tight and weeds and ants stay out.
- Even coats applied with a sprayer and back-rolled where the surface needs it, edges cut in by hand.
- Finish to suit. A natural look that leaves the surface as it is, or a wet look that deepens the color. You choose before we start.
- Insured work, certificate sent to you or your HOA on request.
Why sealing pays off in Hopkins
On long dirt-edged drives and walks under oaks, sealer keeps the stains on the surface and the growth out of the pores. That is the difference between a drive that needs cleaning every year and one that needs a rinse.
Not every surface in Hopkins is worth sealing. Flaking concrete, and pavers sealed before with something unknown, need a look first, and a sealer hides neither cracks nor stains that have already soaked in. We say which surfaces qualify when we quote.
Re-sealing comes around every two to three years. Drives in full sun with daily traffic wear first. A patio under the big oaks and pines over almost every lot lasts longer between coats.

Questions we get asked
Will sealing make the driveway slippery?
A wet-look sealer can, on a smooth surface. We use a non-slip additive on pool decks, steps and anywhere a wet-look finish would be a risk, and say so on the quote.
How soon after cleaning can a Hopkins driveway be sealed?
A day or two of dry weather, longer after rain. With the low ground near the swamp and Congaree National Park we check the surface is properly dry before the sealer goes on.
