The weather can be
harsh on your patio so it’s essential that you take a few steps to ensure it’s
fully prepared ahead of the winter months.
Lee Dunderdale,
Product Manager at Bradstone, gives his top tips for helping to protect your
paving:
Tip #1: Clean your patio
The first step to
protecting your patio is ensuring that it remains clean. Be sure to regularly
remove any fungus, dirt, mildew, algae and leaves that accumulate on your
pavers and give it a regular wash-down with a stiff brush or broom.
Tip #2: Remove pots and furniture
Removing plant pots
and garden furniture from your patio is a good way of avoiding any stains
appearing or the build-up of mildew over the autumn and winter months. Bringing
potted plants indoors and storing away furniture will also help to protect them
from the bad weather too.
Tip #3: Sealer
A good
quality sealer can be used to combat stains and weeds and, if applied early
enough, can help to ensure protection during the colder months. Sealer should
only be applied on a thoroughly clean and dry patio surface.
