Why Choose a Paver Patio?
A paver patio offers numerous benefits, including:
Aesthetic Versatility: With a wide range of colors, shapes, and patterns, Belgard pavers allow you to create a unique design that complements your home’s architecture and landscape.
Durability: Pavers are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, extreme weather conditions, and everyday wear and tear. With proper installation, they can last decades without cracking.
Low Maintenance: Unlike wood decks or concrete slabs, paver patios require minimal upkeep to maintain their beauty.
Flexibility in Design: Belgard pavers come in a variety of sizes and finishes, allowing you to create curved layouts, intricate patterns, or traditional straight-lined patios.
Eco-Friendly Options: Many Belgard pavers are permeable, helping to manage stormwater runoff, reduce erosion, and support the natural water cycle.
Aftercare and Maintenance of Paver Patios
Though paver patios are low maintenance, some care is needed to keep them looking their best for years to come.
Here’s how you can maintain your new patio:
Routine Sweeping and Cleaning:
Regularly sweep your patio to remove dirt, leaves, and debris that can accumulate over time.
For a deeper clean, use a mild soap and water solution. Belgard pavers are stain-resistant, so even tough spots like grease or food spills can be easily cleaned.
Weed Control:
Although pavers are tightly placed, weeds can sometimes grow between them. Applying polymeric sand during installation helps lock the pavers in place and minimize weed growth. If any appear, you can easily pull them out or use a mild herbicide.
Re-Sanding Joints:
Over time, the sand between pavers may wash away due to rain or wind. Re-sanding the joints once a year can prevent shifting and keep your patio looking seamless.
Sealing the Pavers:
Sealing your paver patio can enhance its color and protect it from stains. We recommend sealing every 2-3 years for optimal results. If you choose permeable pavers, use a sealant compatible with water absorption to maintain their eco-friendly benefits.
Addressing Stains and Chips:
If any pavers get stained or chipped, they can be easily replaced without disturbing the entire patio. This is one of the major advantages of using pavers over traditional concrete slabs.
Winter Care:
In winter, avoid using salt-based deicers on your pavers, as this can cause damage. Instead, use a plastic shovel or snowblower to clear snow without scratching the surface.
