    Hi Folks,
    We had a new brick paved driveway laid a few months ago.
    Its past time I sorted out sealing it.
    Our sandstone patio is also due to be resealed.
    On the patio, my workflow is lay down a chlorox solution, agitate, then rinse off, leave dry and than apply sealer.

    My go to sealer when doing just the patio has been a dilute PVA solution.
    Now that I have the driveway to do and having seen some lichen issues on the sandstone.
    I am leaning towards giving a polyurethane sealer a try.
    Any recommendations on what to try?

    PVA? You may as well paint on a mix of flour and water. 😆
    PVA is water soluble, it's not suitable for use on any wet or external surface.

    Have a look at Sika's patio sealer, it's supposed to be good. I have a 5l container of it here ready to go when the weather picks up in late spring.
