Maintaining concrete pavers is essential in preserving the pristine aesthetics of your landscape. Your beautiful paving adds a whole new dimension to your home, and if looked after properly, pavers will last a lifetime with very little effort. Simple maintenance will keep up their appearance and prolong the use of your outdoor living spaces.
The first step in good maintenance is to apply a concrete sealer to the surface of the paving once it has been installed and had 30 days or more to set. Applying this will intensify the pattern and color and add a striking shine to the surface. Also, sealing protects the surface, making it easy to remove stains that can occur due to frequent use. In addition, a quality concrete sealer will lock in join sand, drastically limiting or even eliminating ants and the growth of weeds.
Not only will sealing preserve the color, but it will help prevent wear and tear, as well. When concrete pavers are made, the pigmentation used to create colors is held in place by the actual concrete. The color will fade over time and the material will wear and might start eroding, especially if subjected to high volumes of traffic. That’s another reason why pavers should be cleaned and a concrete sealer applied to prevent the exposure of aggregate and a buildup of algae and weeds.
