Q: Can you walk or drive on pavers after sealing them?

• <div><p>You can walk on newly sealed pavers as long as they&rsquo;ve had enough time to dry and cure&mdash;typically after 24 hours for patios and walkways. Even so, don&rsquo;t rush it. Humidity, temperature, and the type of sealant you use can stretch that window up to 72 hours. Rushing it can leave footprints or even damage the finish, especially if the surface hasn&rsquo;t fully hardened. For driveways, wait at least three full days before parking or driving over them. Always check your sealant label for the most accurate timeline, since not all products cure the same way. </p></div>

Q: What type of driveway is best for adding value to a home?

• <div><p>Concrete driveways add the most value to your home because they last longer and have a better aesthetic appeal. However, depending on your climate, asphalt may be preferable as it handles freezing temperatures and high heat better than concrete.</p></div>

Q: How do I stop my pavers from sinking?

• <div><p>The best way to stop your pavers from sinking is to ensure you've properly compacted the base layers. Use your paver compactor and work over the base layer several times to create the hardest possible base.
