How To Take Care Of Block Paving

Getting block paving installed is a great option for your driveway, but over time you may notice the odd oil stain or patch of moss appearing. Although this is normal, you may find as time goes by it starts to look untidy and in need of a good makeover. Luckily block paving is simple to clean and can be tidied, along with adding a new layer of sealant. This can help to ward away further stains, keeping your driveway looking restored. By giving block paving a quick clean regularly, any build up can be kept away and marks can be washed away before they turn into stains. Weeding the gaps in between the blocks will keep your driveway looking tidier, but take care not to scratch them! Doing this often, as well as a regular clean, will keep your block paving maintained properly, ensuring it looks visually pleasing and will last a long time.

Block paving is a popular choice for driveways, pathways and patios due to its durability and attractive appearance. However, in order to keep your block paving looking as good as new, regular maintenance is essential. This includes cleaning the surface regularly with a pressure washer or detergent solution, removing weeds from between blocks and checking the sand levels in joints. In this article we will look at all of these aspects of block paving care in more detail.

Cleaning your block paving should be done on a regular basis to help prevent dirt build up which can make it slippery when wet and also attract moss growth. Pressure washing is an effective way of cleaning large areas quickly but if you don’t have access to one then using a detergent solution with hot water can also do the job nicely. Once you have cleaned the area ensure that any remaining debris such as leaves are removed before allowing it time to dry thoroughly before adding fresh sand into the joints if necessary. Weed control should also be carried out periodically by hand-pulling or spraying with weed killer – whichever method you choose make sure it won't damage existing plants nearby.
