Welcome to the world of outdoor elegance with your new Brick Paver Patio from Mission Brick Paving! To help you maintain the beauty and functionality of your patio, we've compiled this handy guide. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your patio remains a cherished part of your home for many years.

Regular Cleaning and Care for your Paver Patio

• Routine Cleaning: Keep your brick pavers looking pristine with regular cleaning. Use a soft brush and environmentally friendly detergents suitable for concrete surfaces. This routine will help ward off stains and maintain the natural beauty of the pavers.
• Dealing with Stains: In case of spills or stains, act quickly. Blot up any excess liquid and clean the area with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the paver's surface.
• Preventing Weed Growth: To minimize weed growth between the pavers, consider using polymeric sand in the joints. This sand hardens and acts as a barrier to weed penetration.

Protecting Your Pavers

• Sealing the Pavers: Applying a sealer can enhance the color of your pavers and protect them from stains and weather elements. Sealers should be reapplied every few years, depending on the product's recommendations and your paver's exposure to weather.
• Avoiding Damage from Snow Removal: Use plastic or rubber-edged snow removal tools to prevent scratching or chipping your pavers. Metal tools can be harsh on the patio surface.

Dealing with Natural Elements

• Managing Water Drainage: Ensure proper drainage around your patio to prevent water pooling. This not only protects the pavers but also the surrounding landscape.
• Handling De-Icing: If you need to use de-icing products, choose ones that are safe for concrete surfaces. Avoid using de-icers with harsh chemicals, as they can damage the pavers over time.

Yearly Check-up

• Inspecting for Movement or Settling: Once a year, inspect your patio for any pavers that may have shifted or settled. This can happen due to weather changes or natural ground movement. Re-adjust as necessary to maintain a level surface.
• Checking for Joint Sand Loss: Over time, the sand between pavers may wash away. Re-sanding the joints is a simple maintenance task that can prevent paver movement and weed growth.

By following these maintenance tips, your Brick Paver Patio from Mission Brick Paving will continue to provide a beautiful and functional outdoor space for your home. Enjoy your outdoor oasis!
