As autumn arrives in Raleigh, the cooler temperatures and frequent rainfall can take a toll on your outdoor patio. Moisture from fall rain can seep into paver joints, erode sand, promote mildew, and dull the vibrant look of your patio over time. Applying a high-quality paver sealant is one of the most effective ways to protect your investment and extend the life of your outdoor living space.

In this post, we’ll explore what to look for in a paver sealant, plus some top-rated products you can order online (including Amazon options) to prepare your patio for fall weather.

• Water Protection: A good sealer repels water, preventing it from soaking into paver joints and underlayers.
• Joint Stability: Sealants help lock in the sand between pavers, reducing erosion and weed growth.
• Surface Preservation: Sealers prevent color fading, staining, and wear caused by continuous moisture
• Mildew and Mold Prevention: By keeping water out, sealants make it harder for mold or mildew to grow in damp corners after rain.

When shopping for a sealant, consider these factors:

Here are several highly regarded paver sealants that perform well in protecting patios from fall rain. Many of these are available on Amazon, making them accessible for homeowners in Raleigh.

• Clean first: Power-wash the pavers, remove weeds, clear out joint sand, and let everything dry thoroughly before sealing.
• Check the forecast: Choose a stretch of dry fall days so the sealant can cure properly before being exposed to rain.
• Follow instructions: Apply in recommended temperatures (many sealers require 50–90°F) and use the right tools (sprayer, roller, or brush).
• Apply multiple coats if needed: For best protection, some products benefit from two coats.
• Re-seal when necessary: Inspect your patio each year, if water stops beading, it may be time to reapply.
