Follow these simple steps and your pavers can look new and elegant for years to come:
- Sweep pavers with a broom. Grab a broom and sweep the dirt and debris off of your paving stones as often as you can.
- Rinse off pavers with water.
- Create a paver cleaning solution.
- Apply paver sealer.
- Replace your pavers.
Keeping this in consideration, how do you stop weeds from growing between pavers?
White Vinegar Pour the vinegar into an empty spray bottle and spray the cracks between the pavers, leaving it to sit and work its way into the sand. When a few hours have passed, rinse away the vinegar with a garden hose. This simple remedy will kill the weeds without damaging the pavers or damaging nearby plants.
Then, how do you maintain paving?
Caring for Clay Paving Stones
- Sweep away dust and surface debris regularly.
- Use a mild detergent and warm water to rinse off grime.
- Scrub minor stains with a stiff brush and hot, soapy water.
- Use a pressure washer to remove major stains.
- Apply a coat of sealer every few years to maintain surface color.
Most brick pavers have enough texture and pores that the sealer does not form a solid film over the surface of the paver. Sealing these with certain types of brick sealers will make them very slippery when wet. There are special penetrating non film forming sealers than can be used on these pavers.
