Everyday care
Sweep leaves and debris and rinse with a garden hose. Clean spills quickly.
Joints and weeds
Top up polymeric sand when joints thin. Pull weeds early rather than letting roots loosen pavers.
Stains and algae
Use gentle cleaners for oil or algae and pressure wash with a wide tip and distance to avoid damaging the surface.
Sealing
Sealers can enhance color and resist stains. They typically need reapplying every few years.
When to call a pro
If pavers are sinking, rocking or washing out, the base needs attention. Do not wait.
