Tips To Make Your Pavers Last Longer


Paver installations represent a significant investment in your property's beauty and value. Whether you have patios, walkways, or driveways, proper maintenance is essential to prevent common issues like slipping hazards, weed growth, and moss accumulation. Learn how to protect your investment with these professional care guidelines.

Essential Maintenance Guidelines

  • Regular Cleaning
    Treat your pavers like interior flooring, with routine cleaning using water and a push broom. For pool areas, complete cleaning before seasonal opening to prevent dirty runoff.

  • Deep Cleaning
    Use a pressure washer for stubborn stains, moss, and mold. Monitor sand levels in joints during cleaning, as pressure washing can dislodge joint material.

  • Joint Maintenance
    Keep joints filled with appropriate sand levels to prevent loose pavers and tripping hazards. Consider upgrading to polymeric binder sand for enhanced durability and weed resistance.

Professional Inspection Points

  • Surface Level
    Monitor for uneven areas or dips that could indicate base material settling. Address minor issues promptly to prevent larger problems.

  • Water Management
    Check for proper drainage and address pooling water, which can accelerate joint sand erosion and potentially affect foundations.

  • Structural Integrity
    Examine pavers near buildings for settling that could impact foundation stability. Professional assessment may be needed for significant issues.

Long-Term Protection

  • Annual Maintenance
    Schedule yearly deep cleaning and inspection to prevent stain buildup and catch potential issues early.

  • Quality Materials
    Use professional-grade joint sand and cleaning products to extend the life of your paver installation.

  • Prompt Repairs
    Address any loose or uneven pavers immediately to prevent tripping hazards and more extensive damage.
