One other question - I notice some slight "peeling" on top of a few pavers - ie like a slight amount is coming off. Is this normal - its quite solid under the thin layer that's peeling. I love the little fossils in some of them - but I gather many peole don't. After the 4-5 years yep, just clean and re-seal. Ensure you use the same product so as not to worry about any compatibility issues. As for your peeling I'm not to sure about this. Depending on the type of finish your sandstone is will depend if this is normal or not. Unfortunately my area of expertise is in sealers, not stone. Ask the place where you bought it from or a local stonemason, they may be able to shed some light for you. Re: Sealing Pavers - Pool 18Aug 19, 2013 9:27 am AubinGroveFan What about if you have chlorine pool and granite pavers around it. Do you need to seal it even though pavers are supposedly pre-sealed? Pre-sealed stone is a bit tricky. I have found that most stones that are presealed are done so with a very cheap sealer. One that generally doesn't last long. They pre-seal it for transportation and storage so as to ensure it can be cleaned down to look new again. I have found most of these sealers will not really give any sort of stain resistance. I would always recommend sealing once the product has been laid. Re: Sealing Pavers - Pool 19Aug 19, 2013 10:47 am miteq Saint Mike Thanks.
