A concrete sealer slows water, oil and deicing salt from soaking into the surface of your driveway, patio or walk. In Nampa, where the average daily low stays below freezing from November through March, keeping water out of the top layer is what keeps it from flaking off.

HomeGuide's 2026 sealing guide compares the main options:
Stamped, colored and stained concrete benefit most from sealing, because the sealer protects the color from fading as well as from water. HomeGuide recommends resealing stamped concrete every 2 to 3 years and notes that more expensive sealers are the better choice for stamped driveways. See stamped concrete for more on decorative finishes.
HomeGuide's guidance is to let new concrete cure about 28 to 30 days before the first coat of most sealers. HomeGuide notes that liquid acrylic cure-and-seal products are the one type that can go on without waiting. For concrete poured in the fall, the Ohio Ready Mixed Concrete Association advises skipping deicing salt the first winter and using sand for traction.
Sealer won't fill cracks. HomeGuide points out that cracks need to be repaired before sealing, or they just get a shiny coat. We clean the surface, degrease oil spots, and handle crack repair and joint sealing before the sealer goes down.
HomeGuide's 2026 national ranges:
It depends on the product and the traffic. Penetrating sealers tend to wear invisibly, so a simple test helps: sprinkle water on the surface. If it beads, the sealer is working. If it darkens the concrete and soaks in, it's time.
