Paver Sealing in Olympia, WA — Timed to the Dry Window, Specified for Olympia's Wet-Season Clay.

Sealer does not cure on a wet stone. It traps the moisture underneath and turns it into a white haze that has to be stripped back off — which is why so much sealing work in western Washington gets done twice. The window matters more than the brand. Olympia takes over 50 inches of rain a year onto some of the wettest soils in western Washington, including expansive clay near Black Lake and the Deschutes flood zones.

Expansive clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries. A base that ignores that moves twice a year, every year. We run perforated drain pipe, geotextile separation, and a 2% minimum slope across every paver field in this city. Ground moisture wicks up through a paver field long after the surface has dried in the sun, so we book Olympia sealing into a genuine dry stretch and we check the field, not the forecast. Damp, shaded, canopy-heavy yards around Capitol Hill, Eastside and near Washington State Capitol hold moisture and grow moss and algae faster than an open exposure, so those get cleaned and re-sanded properly before any sealer touches them. And if the field is failing because of seasonal heave from expansive clay cycling wet and dry, sealing it is cosmetic — we will tell you that instead of taking the job.
