Spring in Michigan means it’s time to enjoy the outdoors! But before you host those backyard barbecues and patio parties, closely examine your paver patio. Has it survived the winter? Or are there signs of damage that need attention?
This guide will help you identify common patio problems and show you how PMS Brick Pavers can make your Macomb County patio spring-ready.
Signs Your Patio Needs Some TLC
- Cracked or Uneven Pavers: Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles can wreak havoc on patios. Cracks, unevenness, and sunken pavers look bad and can be tripping hazards.
- Weed Growth: Weeds sprouting between pavers are a sure sign of trouble. They indicate that the joint sand has eroded, which can destabilize the patio and lead to further damage.
- Faded or Discolored Pavers: Harsh weather, de-icing salts, and even the sun’s UV rays can cause your patio to lose its vibrancy. Fading and discoloration detract from your home’s curb appeal.
Addressing Common Patio Problems
- Cracked or Uneven Pavers: Don’t ignore those cracks! Depending on the severity, individual pavers may need replacing, or the entire patio might require realignment.
- Weed Growth: Effective weed control involves removing existing weeds, replenishing joint sand (polymeric sand is a great option), and potentially applying a weed preventer.
- Faded Pavers: Professional cleaning and sealing can restore and protect your patio’s color from further damage.
Essential Spring Maintenance for Your Patio
- Cleaning: Regular cleaning is key to preventing the buildup of dirt, grime, and organic matter that can damage pavers. Use a gentle cleanser and a pressure washer (on a low setting!) to remove debris and stains.
- Sealing: Sealing your pavers is like giving them a protective shield. It prevents moisture penetration, leading to cracking and spalling during freeze-thaw cycles. It also helps prevent staining and fading.
- Weed Prevention: Apply polymeric sand to fill the joints between pavers, preventing weeds from taking root. Regularly inspect for and remove any weeds that do appear.
