Albany hardscapes run the full range — brick-paver walkways in Center Square, big bluestone-and-paver patios out toward Slingerlands, and 20-year-old driveway aprons in Pine Hills that have never been re-sanded.
City lots drain slowly, mature maples drop tannin-heavy leaf litter all fall, and plow salt off New Scotland and Delaware Ave gets tracked right onto walkways.
A pressure wash alone does not fix any of that. Once the joint sand is gone, the pavers lose their interlock and start moving — and every rainstorm carries more of the base away. Our restoration is a multi-day process: clean, blow the joints out to depth, install fresh polymeric sand, compact it in with a vibratory plate, then seal. That sequence is what makes the result last in Albany instead of failing by the next spring.
