One of the benefits of owning a paver driveway is the low maintenance required in comparison to other material options. However, this does not mean these driveways are maintenance-free. To keep your paver driveway looking beautiful for many years to come, you need to protect it from water erosion and weed infestation with some annual maintenance. Spring is the perfect time to bring back the beauty of your pavers with a little cleaning and repair.

Cleaning, Sealing and Repair

The three phases of your spring paver cleaning should start with cleaning and end with sealing, if appropriate. Most pavers can be cleaned with the use of a pressure washer or by using a common water hose with a long-handled scrub brush. Remove any stains or mildew that have accumulated on the pavers over the year; for tough stains, use a mild detergent with the scrub brush.

Once the pavers are clean and dry, remove any weeds that are trying to grab hold between pavers or along the edge of the driveway. Plants roots can destroy pavers over time, so keeping grass and other weeds at bay is crucial. While cleaning and weeding, keep an eye out for any pavers that are cracked or chipped; these should be removed and replaced before sealing.

Finally, consider sealing your paver driveway to keep it protect from water erosion and make it easier to clean in the future. Sealing should be done every 2-3 years to maintain your driveway. For both repairs and sealing, consider using a local paver professional service. With the right equipment and experience, they can ensure that your driveway will look like new for the summer ahead.
