Prevention is better than cure Leave pavers wrapped and as dry as possible until just before laying. After wrap is removed, ensure paver surfaces are evenly exposed to the air, do not leave them ‘star-stacked’ around the site for long periods before laying as the concrete hydration process may cause exposed corners to visibly lighten in comparison to covered sections. Sweep regularly with a stiff-bristled broom to keep pavers free of debris. For maximum protection we suggest pavers are sealed after installation with a penetrating sealer (please check with a reputable sealing company for advice). Re-seal pavers as required taking special care in heavy wear areas and salt-water locations. During construction cover the paved areas to protect against damage. Protect your pavers against possible staining from mortar, oxides, cement and rust. The use of acid and chemically-based cleaning agents can be hazardous if used incorrectly so always consult a professional. In all cases attempt to clean a stain before it hardens or dries up.
