BLOG The Ultimate Guide to Seasonal Paver Maintenance Oct 27, 2024

As the seasons change, it is important to make sure your pavers are properly cared for to maintain their beauty and functionality. At EGP Pavers, we understand the importance of seasonal maintenance to keep your outdoor spaces looking their best. In this ultimate guide, we will provide you with tips and tricks on how to properly care for your pavers throughout the year.

Spring:

As the weather warms up, it is the perfect time to give your pavers a thorough cleaning. Start by sweeping away any debris and dirt that has accumulated over the winter. Then, use a pressure washer or hose to remove any stubborn stains or grime. If you notice any weeds growing between the pavers, make sure to remove them promptly to prevent them from spreading.

Summer:

During the summer months, it is important to regularly inspect your pavers for any signs of damage. Look for cracks, chips, or loose pavers, and make any necessary repairs as soon as possible. Additionally, make sure to keep your pavers well-sealed to protect them from the harsh UV rays of the sun.

Fall:

As the leaves begin to fall, it is important to keep your pavers clear of debris. Regularly sweep or blow away any leaves, branches, or other debris that may accumulate on the surface of your pavers. This will help prevent staining and damage to your pavers.

Winter:

During the winter months, it is important to protect your pavers from the freezing temperatures and moisture. Make sure to shovel or plow snow off of your pavers promptly to prevent it from melting and refreezing, which can cause damage to your pavers. Additionally, make sure to use calcium chloride or rock salt sparingly, as these can damage the surface of your pavers.

Year-Round:

In addition to seasonal maintenance, there are a few year-round maintenance tips that can help keep your pavers in top condition. Regularly inspect your pavers for any signs of damage, and make any necessary repairs promptly. Keep your pavers clean by regularly sweeping or hosing them off. And finally, make sure to reseal your pavers every few years to protect them from the elements.

By following these tips and tricks for seasonal maintenance, you can help ensure that your pavers stay looking their best for years to come.
