Care & Maintenance

Caring for Your Paving and Landscaping Products

Maintaining the beauty and functionality of your outdoor spaces starts with the right care and maintenance. Whether you have porcelain paving, natural stone, or decorative stone, proper upkeep ensures long-lasting quality and a fresh, vibrant appearance. Below, we’ve outlined expert tips to help you keep your hardscape in top shape.

General Maintenance Tips

Keep Your Hardscape Looking Its Best

Regular Cleaning

Sweep away dirt and debris to prevent staining or moss growth. For stubborn dirt, use a gentle cleaning solution with a soft brush or power washer (on a low setting).

Stain Removal

Address oil, leaf, or rust stains promptly to avoid permanent marks. Use a specialised cleaner when necessary.

Seasonal Checks

Inspect your paving for cracks or movement, especially after harsh winters. Early intervention can save you time and money.

Sealing

Certain materials benefit from sealing, which protects against water damage, staining, and algae growth. Reapply sealants as recommended by the manufacturer.

Material-Specific Care Instructions

Tailored Tips for Every Material

  • Porcelain Paving:
    Low maintenance and stain-resistant, porcelain only needs occasional sweeping and a rinse with soapy water. Avoid abrasive tools that could scratch the surface.
  • Natural Stone Paving:
    More porous than porcelain, natural stone requires sealing and periodic cleaning to protect against weathering. Avoid acidic cleaners to prevent damage.
  • Decorative Stone:
    Keep stones clean by raking or washing as needed. Control weeds with a weed barrier or weed-killing solution.
  • Wall Cladding & Caps:
    Brush off dirt and debris periodically. Apply a water repellent if recommended to maintain its finish.

FAQs About Maintenance

Regular sweeping should be done weekly, with a deep clean every 3-6 months, depending on usage and weather conditions.

Sealing is recommended for natural stone and other porous materials. It enhances durability and makes cleaning easier.

In general - Yes, but always use a low-pressure setting to avoid damaging the surface. A direct jet along any grout lines might need to be avoided to ensure you don't remove/disturb them (depending on the product used). Give us a call and we would be happy to discuss your exact situation.
