Driveways
provide the perfect introduction to your home so it’s important that you keep
it looking its best, especially through the winter.
Lee
Dunderdale at Bradstone, gives his top tips for maintaining your driveway
paving.
“Block
paving is very durable and, providing it’s been laid correctly, is very easy to
maintain," he explained. "There are many simple steps you can take to
ensure your driveway stays looking great for longer. It may appear obvious, but
a regular wash-down using a stiff brush or broom is one of the most effective
ways of maintaining your driveway.
"What’s
more, concrete block paving is very hard wearing, which means it can withstand
light jet washing for a more thorough clean with minimum effort.
“Driveways
are ideal if you’re seeking a stylish and low-maintenance entrance to your
home, but unfortunately, like with all paving, weeds, algae and moss can still
prove a nuisance. Regular cleaning will also help to keep these under control,
along with regular de-weeding and applications
of weed killer and path clearing products.
“Ensuring your driveway drains in a sustainable way is
essential for meeting the strict legislation regarding the fronts of homes. Our
Driveway Infilta and Woburn Rumbled Infilta are permeable driveway paving
products, which have been designed to allow rain water to drain through the
gaps between blocks. It’s an ideal solution for meeting the legislation and
features a stylish design, available in many different colours.”
