travertine driveway

I had travertine pavers on the same 10,000 sq. ft house that I asked you about earlier with marble counters...I am starting to see mold spots grow on some of the stone...I will try MB-9 to get rid of it... I also just bought 10 gallons of natural stone sealer...Do I seal the driveway??? Will it help? I also am getting track marks from the tires on the stone which disapper within time but it drives me insane...will a sealer help? Thanks!
 

Dear Scott:

 

10 gallons of natural stone sealer

 

I hope you didn't open it.

 

Do I seal the driveway?

 

Have ever been to Rome , Italy ? If so have you ever visited the old ruins where you can still see some of the stone paved roads? They were paved with travertine. Do you think they ever sealed them?! J

Do not seal your driveway! If you have mold now, with the sealer it will only get worse. In other words, the sealer will only help to increase the amount of mold and mildew and make its cleaning more difficult.

 

I also am getting track marks from the tires on the stone which disappear within time but it drives me insane...will a sealer help?

 

Not one bit. If you have a problem with temporary track marks, you… well, have a problem!... J

Ciao and good luck,
