Don ,
The problem with trying to remove sealer mechanically is you never totally remove the sealer form the pores within the stone. most of your alkaline strippers would not have a major effect on plants as long as you hose the areas really well when you start and keep wetting the areas as you go. Also use a waxed freezer paper to put along the plants and grass. This will help the chemical stay on the paper and off the plants and grass. DO NOT use plastic the plastic will burn the plants and grass in most cases from the sun. if you don’t like the paper idea then go to Home Depot or Lowes and purchase some of the canvas painter traps and place over the areas you need to protect. After several uses take them the laundry Mat wash them and they are like new again.

I am wondering if removing the sealer mechanically would work. there are plants, grass and a pond that surround the patio. I would think that any stripper would harm the surrounding area.

recommend trying an alkaline based stripper to remove seal then apply StoneCare Central Solvent based sealer. Be sure to test prior to bidding the job to make sure the seal can be removed with an alkaline based stripper. If this does not remove the sealer you will need to use other more aggressive stripper that may increase the time required to remove the sealer . If you know the name and manufacturer of the sealer contact them and they should be able to tell you how to remove it.
