Pavers are known for their durability, but like anything outdoors, they need some attention to stay at their best.
The good news is that a little maintenance goes a long way!
Start with cleaning. Regular sweeping keeps dirt and debris from settling into the joints, and an occasional rinse can remove dust and pollen. For very stubborn stains, pressure washing is a quick way to bring back the original color, just be careful not to blast away the joint sand.
Speaking of sand, keeping those joints filled is important for stability. Over time, rain and foot traffic can wash sand out, which may allow weeds to grow or pavers to shift. Re-sanding every so often keeps everything tight and helps prevent movement.
Finally, sealing pavers helps protect against stains, fading, and weather damage. A good sealer not only enhances color but also makes future cleaning easier. Think of it like sunscreen for your hardscape. It preserves the look while shielding it from the elements.
A simple yearly checklist can keep things looking great:
- Sweep and rinse the surface regularly
- Spot-treat stains before they set in
- Re-sand joints where needed
- Apply sealer every few years, or as recommended
