Hinsdale Illinois Bluestone cleaning and sealing

For this Hinsdale, IL project, performed a full softwash, joint sanding, and sealing service on a bluestone patio. The homeowner wanted the natural stone to look refreshed and protected, so we focused on cleaning the surface, stabilizing the joints, and applying a sealer for a lasting wet look shine.

We began with a softwash to remove dirt, mildew, and organic buildup from the bluestone. Softwashing uses low-pressure water combined with a cleaning solution to get the surface clean without damaging the stone. This step is important for preparing the patio so the joint material and sealer will adhere properly.

After the surface was clean and fully dry, we moved on to the joints between the bluestone pieces. We sanded in between the joints using Tiger Flex polymeric sand. Polymeric sand is designed to lock in place once it is activated, which helps keep the joints stable and reduces erosion or washout. Using Tiger Flex allowed us to fill the spaces consistently so the patio maintains a uniform appearance and better resists weeds or shifting.

Once the Tiger Flex polymeric sand was swept into the joints and properly compacted, we completed the project with a coat of Trident sealer. Trident sealer provides a durable finish and gives the bluestone a wet look shine that enhances the stone's natural color. The sealer also adds a protective layer that helps repel stains and simplifies routine cleaning.

Throughout the job our team from paid attention to detail, making sure the softwash cleaned evenly, the polymeric sand settled correctly in the joints, and the Trident sealer was applied uniformly. These steps work together to refresh the patio visually and provide ongoing protection so the homeowner can enjoy the space with less maintenance.

This combination of softwashing, Tiger Flex joint sanding, and Trident sealing is a practical approach for homeowners in Hinsdale, IL who want to restore the look of their bluestone patios while improving durability. If your patio needs cleaning, joint stabilization, or sealing, can provide the same careful, step-by-step service tailored to your stone and site conditions.
