Are Paver Patios High Maintenance?

You’ve likely seen gorgeous images online or in magazines of picture-perfect paver patios, complete with comfy patio furniture, a fire pit, and other accessories. And while paver patios are an attractive addition to any backyard, you may still have some concerns about having a paver patio installed in your backyard. One of the top concerns homeowners have about paver patios is their upkeep. After all, it’s one thing to see a brand-new paver patio in a picture, but it’s another to have the responsibility of maintaining it so that it continues to look like new over the years. So, here’s what to expect as far as maintenance requirements go for paver patios.

Maintaining Your Paver Patio

Paver patios are generally considered a low-maintenance option, but that doesn’t mean they are completely free of upkeep. Some light maintenance over the years can go a long way in helping ensure your paver patio is looking and performing at its best over the years. As needed, you’ll want to sweep leaves and other debris off the patio. Paver patios typically have a protective sealer on top that helps keep them protected from stains and other damage. If you do notice a spill or stain, soap and water are typically all that are needed to clean it up. Once a year, you may want to use a detergent to clean your patio so that it continues to look like new.

Less frequently, you may need to attend to the polymer sand that’s used to fill the cracks between each paver stone. Every two to five years, you’ll want to have new poly-sand or natural sand put in to help maintain the structure of the paver patio. With a little maintenance, your paver patio can last for decades on end. Paver patios offer exceptional durability and allow for great versatility in design and aesthetics as well.

Repairing a Damaged Paver Patio

If your paver patio becomes damaged, repairs are much easier than on most other types of patios. For instance, if you have a concrete slab patio, the entire slab may need to be repoured to repair cracks, sinking, and other issues. On the other hand, paver patios allow for “spot” fixes. Instead of having to replace the entire patio, only the specific area that’s damaged or problematic needs to be addressed and just those pavers that are affected may need to be replaced.

A Low-Maintenance Patio Solution

Overall, paver patios are a great option for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance outdoor living solution. Of course, these minimal maintenance requirements rely on a high-quality construction in the first place, which is why it’s important to choose a trusted paver patio company to design and build your patio. Once it’s properly installed, your paver patio will provide decades of enjoyment as it beautifies and enhances your property.

I’m quite happy with the improvement in energy efficiency that was achieved by installing the radiant barrier in my attic last year. Even after installing a new energy efficient heating/AC system the previous year, the AC bill was much lower than it was the year before(barrier) and my heating bill this last, long cold snowy winter was lower than it’s ever been in the thirty years I’ve lived here! Great job guys!
