Hi Kelly, I found this website that has a whole bunch of really useful information regarding concrete sealers - https://www.concretenetwork.com/products-sealer/
Most home improvement stores sell different types of outdoor concrete sealer in quart and gallon sizes. Concrete is very porous, so follow the directions on the sealer you buy to ensure you use the correct amount for a quality seal and the right type of applicator. Sealing can often be done in an afternoon from start to finish and can be done every six months to a year.
