Prepping and Cleaning Your Patio Pavers
A paver patio is an attractive and popular outdoor living space among homeowners across the region. Patio pavers come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, colors, and configurations, allowing for countless customization options in creating an ideal outdoor living space. However, as with any other part of your property, proper care and maintenance are essential for keeping up the appearance of your patio pavers. Whether you’re thinking about investing in patio pavers or have recently had a paver patio installed, here’s what you need to know about how to prep, clean, and seal your patio pavers so that they’ll look and function at their best for years to come.
Prepping Your Patio Pavers Before Cleaning
The first step in cleaning your patio pavers is preparing the space. First, you’ll want to remove your patio furniture, plants, grill, or any other items you may have on the surface. This will clear the space so that you can complete any prep work. If it’s been a while since you last cleaned your patio pavers, you may have moss or other weeds growing in the cracks. Pulling the weeds and scrubbing the moss away will prep your patio pavers so that they’re ready to be thoroughly cleaned.
How to Clean Your Patio Pavers
The first step in cleaning your patio pavers is to wet the surface with a garden hose. This will prevent the pavers from absorbing too much of the cleaning chemical when you go to wash the surface. The best thing to clean your pavers with is a non-acidic cleaning solution. You can use dish soap, degreaser, or another mild detergent mixed with water as your cleaning solution. Then, rinse the surface with your hose to clear the cleaning solution away. Alternatively, you can power wash your pavers. However, you’ll want to ensure this is done carefully, as too much pressure can easily damage the surface of your pavers.
Sealing Your Patio Pavers to Protect Them
A final step in cleaning your paver patio is sealing the surface. After you’ve cleaned the paver patio, a seal will help protect the pavers and improve their durability and appearance. Sealing your pavers also helps protect the pavers from staining, as they’re made from porous materials that can easily absorb any liquid. This process of sealing the paver stones can also help maintain their appearance and prevent weeds from growing. There are a variety of different sealers available to choose from, depending on the desired aesthetic.

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!
