Patios and pathways
Although patio pavers are highly durable and can last for many generations, they still need regular maintenance and brushing up to keep them in top condition. A neglected patio paver will look shabby and could diminish the value of your house.
PJA Gardens offer a number of services to keep your pavers in good shape. But remember, cleaning, brushing up and maintenance will take time so you have to be patient. Taking the time to do the job properly ensures a longer lasting result.
Assessing the Situation
The first thing we have to do is to assess the condition of your pavers. Carefully inspect your patio paver and find out if there are stains on its surface. Normally, the sap and tannin of plants and tree leaves will leave unsightly stains on the paver surface. Iron furniture in the patio can also leave rust marks. Molds and mildews also diminish the beauty of the paver. These stains and unsightly marks should be removed immediately.
By carefully assessing the situation of each paver, we can determine what cleaning solutions and materials are needed for the project. We can also estimate the amount of time needed to finish your maintenance.
Choose the Right Cleaning Solution and Materials
If your pavers have lots of stains that are difficult to remove, the best bet is to use acid based cleaners. However, acid cleaners can be harmful to the environment and they are very tricky to handle. They can burn your skin and may be hazardous if you inhaled their fumes. To be safe it is essential that to use the skills and experience of a qualified gardener such as PJA Gardens.
we also have the neccessary industrial brushes, sturdy broomstick, and power washers for your maintenance work. Power washers can be costly but it is important to have this equipment if you want to keep your paver in top shape.
Starting the Clean-up Job
If your pavers have lots of moss, mildews and algae, it is best to remove these first before we start removing stains. Algae growth and moss can be removed with a power washer that can at least exert at least 2,000 psi to quickly remove moss and algae from the surface and edges of your patio paver.
And you’re done! Your pavers now will look sparklingly clean and almost brand new. Regular maintenance and clean-up will keep your patio pavers in top shape so your patio will always look elegant.
