5 Tips for brick paving maintenance
Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the appearance and durability of brick paving. Sweep the area frequently to remove dirt, debris, and fallen leaves. Also, use a pressure washer or a hose
to remove stubborn dirt and stains.
Brick paving should be sealed periodically to protect it from damage caused by weather, chemicals, and foot traffic. Resealing helps to
prevent erosion, color fading, and cracking. It’s recommended to reseal brick
paving every two to three years.
Joint sanding is an important step in maintaining brick paving.
Over time, the sand between the joints can be lost, which can cause the
bricks to move and become uneven. Joint sanding helps to stabilize the bricks
and prevent this from happening.
Any damage to the bricks should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Cracks or missing bricks can be replaced by a professional. Also, if the brick paving has settled or shifted, it should be fixed
immediately.
Avoid driving heavy vehicles or machinery on brick paving as this can cause damage. Similarly, placing heavy objects like statues or large planters can also damage the bricks. It’s important to be cautious and avoid any activity that can cause undue stress on the brick paving.
How To Choose The Right Brick For The Job?
When choosing bricks for a driveway paving job, consider factors such as durability,
colour and texture, size and shape, cost, maintenance, and climate.
It's important to select bricks that can withstand the weight of vehicles and foot traffic, complement
the style of your home and landscape, fit your budget, and require a manageable
amount of maintenance. Additionally, take into account the climate in your area and
seek advice from a professional brick paving contractor.
