Care guide

Caring for block paving

Simple, practical steps to keep it looking its best for years.

Sweep little and often

A stiff brush once a fortnight stops grit and leaves from settling in the joints and holding moisture.

Top up the joint sand

Kiln-dried sand in the joints locks the blocks together. If you can see gaps, brush in fresh sand. A pressure washer will blast it out, so re-sand afterwards.

Deal with weeds early

Pull seedlings while they're small, before roots open the joints. A re-seal after cleaning helps keep them out.

Oil and rust stains

Blot fresh oil straight away with cat litter or sand, then use a dedicated paving cleaner. Don't scrub with plain hot water, because it spreads the stain.

Re-sealing

A good-quality sealant every few years keeps colours rich and resists stains. We offer clean and re-seal visits.
