Preventing and Addressing Common Issues

Effective Weed Control for Your Pavers

Proactive weed control is key to maintaining the pristine look of your pavers. Apply polymeric sand to the joints—it hardens when wet, effectively discouraging weed growth. If weeds do appear, remove them promptly to prevent more significant issues over time. Trust Accent Pavers and Sealing to help keep your outdoor spaces in top condition!

Tackling Stains on Your Pavers

Stains from oil, rust, or food can happen, but the key is to act quickly!

Identify the Stain: Different stains require specific treatments. Use a degreaser for oil stains, and a rust-removal product for rust.
Recommended Products: Consult with your local supplier or Accent Pavers and Sealing for products specially designed for interlocking pavers to ensure effective and safe cleaning.

Seasonal Maintenance Tips

Spring and Summer Care

Weed Control

Check your pavers regularly for signs of weed growth. Remove any weeds promptly to prevent their roots from taking hold.

Sealing

If you haven’t sealed your pavers yet, now is the ideal time! Sealing provides protection against stains and moisture. After the initial application, plan to re-seal every few years to keep them well-protected.

Fall and Winter Care

Snow Removal

If you live in a snowy region, use a plastic shovel or a snow blower to clear your driveway, as metal shovels can scratch the surface—handle with care!

Ice Prevention

Avoid using rock salt, which can harm your pavers. Instead, choose sand or a pet-friendly ice melt to ensure safety without damaging the pavers.

Long-Term Care Strategies

Regular Inspections

Make it a habit to inspect your pavers regularly. Look for cracks, uneven surfaces, or any signs of shifting. Catching issues early can save you from costly repairs down the line.
