Effective Tips for Concrete Paver Maintenance

Although there are many materials out there that are fit to create pavers, concrete makes for a durable and affordable choice. Not only are concrete pavers aesthetically pleasing, but with proper maintenance, they can also last long. In fact, in most cases, concrete pavers have a lifetime guarantee even in the most extreme weather conditions, such as rain, freezing temperatures, or extreme heat. That being said, we have lined up a few concrete paver maintenance tips to preserve the beauty and integrity of your driveway, walkway, or patio.

Conduct Seasonal Cleanings

If you want to keep your concrete pavers looking brand new, thorough spring cleanup is a must! Pick up a paver cleaner and coarse bristle broom, and start cleaning up your concrete paver. Start by sweeping away the dirt and grime that has built up during the winter season, then move on to spraying your concrete paver down with a high-pressure garden how or power washer.

Power Wash Your Pavers

Power washing is a great way to clean up your pavers, restoring their original appearance and appeal. Although it isn’t necessary to power wash your pavers annually, it is recommended to do so – to keep away the dirt and grime. The frequency of pressure washing your concrete pavers typically depends on the conditions that impact the paved surface. For instance, it is great to pressure wash your pavers frequently if they are subjected to standing water, moss, mold, or debris and dirt. Additionally, it is important to be careful when using a power washer to clean your hardscape since they can end up removing any sealant or finishing, exposing the surface of the paper. Therefore, it is usually better to hire a professional to do the job.

Seal Your Pavers

Another important step to take to maintain your pavers and keep them looking their best is to seal them every three years. There are many options available to do this, including a matte finish and a glossy finish. Sealers aren’t to be applied more than once every three years, otherwise; they can end up creating a film on the surface of the paper that can discolor due to sunlight exposure.

Conduct Regular Yard Work

This may seem unrelated, but keeping the landscape surrounding your concrete pavers in shape is a huge step in maintaining your pavers. For instance, raking the leaves or sweeping off your paved surface before it rains can help prevent stains on your paver. Weeding your garden or lawn that surrounds your concrete paver is also quite helpful in keeping the surface smooth by keeping the root growth from shifting over time. Hopefully, these concrete paver maintenance tips will help you maintain your pavers and extend their lifespan.
