How to Prevent Seasonal Wear Before Winter Weather Arrives in MD
The rainy fall season is a good indicator for how water will flow on your landscape, and where the harsh winter freeze and thaw will have the most impact. Take advice from the experts in paver and stonework repair, Speake Delmarva.
Clear Leaves and Debris from Paver Walkways and Patios
It sounds simple, but keeping your pavers clean helps to prevent staining and buildup of dirt, which can ultimately create uneven areas. Be mindful to check the corners or confined areas where moisture or dirt may collect. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods.
