With the summer in full swing, many of us are looking to maintain our gardens and ensure we are ready for hosting in the lovely weather! However, maintaining surfaces such as a patio can require ongoing maintenance and knowledge on how to get your garden looking brand new.
Whether you are a garden maintenance expert or a complete novice, maintaining an outdoor area whether that’s a patio or driveway, requires high quality products and an ongoing maintenance plan. To help you understand the upkeep for your patio or driveway, we have rounded up some of our tips of maintaining a patio with sealants below…
Our tips for maintaining a patio
- Year-round maintenance
To ensure your patio is properly maintained and cared for, we recommend year-round maintenance. Looking after the area and treating it during winter months means cleaning up and getting ready for the summer will be much easier in the long run. Any external surface will require cleaning and treatment, whether it is decking or a block-paved area.
- Use cleaners to prevent mould and algae
Using a high-quality patio cleaner on a regular basis will work towards preventing mould and algae. Mould and stains on a patio can be detrimental, therefore having a cleaning schedule in place in all weather will help to keep your patio in good condition.
- Use sealants to protect the patio
Sealing the area will help to prevent damage from mould, dirt or adverse weather conditions. We recommend closely following any instructions the sealant provides to ensure you gain the best results. We stock a huge range of patio sealants via our website, our top picks can also be found below.
