QUESTION:
I have a sidewalk at my home that is trimmed in the same brick that is on my walls. I have noticed that it is not the same color as the house and it appears to stay dark in spots. Is there any thing that I can do to make it match?
PICTURE:

SOLUTION:

Probably not. It is our opinion that the brick may have a coating on it that is being removed by foot traffic, lawnmowers and things of this nature. The dark spots may be from water. You may want to apply PROSOCO Weather Seal Siloxane PD to the sidewalk to protect the brick from water damage such as freeze thaw.

In most cases, you will be better off to select a paving brick in a complimentary color. These products are manufactured to withstand the test of time when used in a horizontal application.
