My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Should blue stone be sealed?

11 years ago

We dry laid blue stone in our back patio. I'm trying to figure out whether it should be sealed. What are the pros vs. cons? Is it best practice / standard to seal?
