Pavers Maintenance During Winter

During cold weather, pavers, driveways, walkways, or you name it, all go through critical states. They are faced with harsh weather, possibly snow, and heavy rain, which is why it is so important to give them maintenance especially during the winter season. By staying on top of your pavers, their surface won’t be damages, regardless of the season. At this point you are probably asking, “ Okay, so how do I give my pavers the proper maintenance during winter?” and we are glad you asked.

To start off, your pavers should always have the perfect drainage plan. If water begins to settle unevenly over them, that can be a problem and drastically reduce their lifespan. The water should be rerouted to a place where it can drain.

Another thing to consider for maintaining remarkable pavers is to get pre sealed pavers. Regardless of the winter challenges ahead, a pre sealed paver will not be moved r affected by whether it rain or shine.

Here is another tip: If there are any holes or cravks, you can use asphalt to set them instead of allowing for water or snow to get in the crack or holes, causing them to break apart.

Considering a slear isn’t a bad idea, all the contrary, the perfect sealer will actually protect yout pavers and create a non-slip surface.

If it snows where you live, consider the following: Do not shovel off snow with a metal shovel. A metal shovel will only scratch and damage ther surface of your decorated pavers. Instead of opting for a metal shovel, try using a shovel with a rubber blade edge,

There are also many de -icing salts out there that can help you remove snow from the surface of your pavers or concrete. Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride are all used as de-icers, but it is better to look into the risks and benefits of their use.
