Outdoor stone features—whether patios, walkways, driveways, or landscaping boulders—add natural beauty and character to your home. But without protection, stone surfaces can quickly lose their color, collect dirt, and suffer from weather damage. That’s where stone sealing comes in.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about sealing stone, why it’s important, and how RockGlow Sealers can give your stone that permanent wet look finish.

Why Should You Seal Stone?

Natural stone is porous, which means it soaks up water, dirt, and stains. Over time, this leads to:

• Fading color
  
  

• Mold and mildew growth
  
  

• Stains from food, oil, or rust
  
  

• Cracks caused by freezing and thawing
  
  

By sealing your stone, you’re protecting your investment and keeping it looking brand new for years.

The Benefits of Professional Stone Sealing

✔ Enhances Color – Sealing makes colors pop, giving your stone a rich, glossy “wet look.”
✔ Long-Lasting Protection – Prevents water, stains, and UV damage.
✔ Easy Maintenance – Sealed stone is easier to clean—no scrubbing or pressure washing needed.
✔ Increases Home Value – A fresh, protected outdoor space boosts curb appeal instantly.

DIY Stone Sealing vs. Professional Stone Sealing

Many homeowners try store-bought sealers, but these usually fade within months and require constant re-application.

At RockGlow Sealers, we use industrial-grade sealants that:

• Last years, not months
  
  

• Penetrate deep into the stone
  
  

• Resist peeling, yellowing, and cracking
  
  

• Are applied with professional precision
  
  

The result? A finish that looks better and lasts longer than anything you’ll get off the shelf.

How Long Does Stone Sealing Last?

Our sealing process can protect your stone for years with proper care. In fact, many of our clients only need an annual reseal to keep their patios, driveways, and landscaping features looking flawless.

How Much Does Stone Sealing Cost?

The cost of stone sealing depends on the size of the project:

• Small jobs: $199–$299
  
  

• Medium jobs: $449–$799
  
  

• Large jobs: $1,000+
  
  

We also offer affordable annual reseal plans to make sure your stone always looks its best.
