Tips for Maintaining Your Pavers
Your exterior space is often used as an extension of your home, and as such, it deserves the same care and attention that you give to your home’s interior. Knowing how to maintain your paving will ensure that you keep your patio and driveway looking both clean and beautiful. Plus maintaining your pavers has never been easier! All you need to do is put in a few minutes a day and, maybe, a day or two of cleaning and refurbishing every year. Below, are the top two paver maintenance tips that will help you to keep them safe and beautiful for many years to come.
Break Out the Brush
One of the best things that you can do to ensure your pavers remain looking good is to sweep them every day using a standard broom or a push broom. Give them a quick once over to prevent the buildup of soil, dust, leaves, and other debris that will not only end in stains but will build up in those nooks and crannies. It is also a good idea to brush your pavers if you are expecting rain, as this will make the cleanup easier later on.
Give Pavers a Good Rinse
After you have swept your brick and stone pavers, get into the practice of giving them a thorough rinsing with your garden hose. By doing this, you are clearing away the debris instead of just moving it from one part of your patio or driveway to another. And if your areas are prone to mold or moss buildup, hitting them with a power washer will be your best bet, especially when there are any uneven surfaces that will collect standing water.
