Decking and Patio Cleaning

All patios are different in their aspect to the sun, the stone it is made of and how it is used. Patios stones accumulate the dirt of daily life and slowly change colour and it is only when they are cleaned you realise what they used to look like. The gaps and cracks are the perfect home for all kinds of mosses, dirt and weedy plants to invade.

The roots of the plants grow deep and fast and can lead to stone raising and cracking due to the pressure. The key to avoiding this is regular maintenance to prevent any plants colonising or mud building up which stores seeds.

Before and after

Different stones require different cleaning methods as the surfaces can range from smooth to slightly ridged this is considered when each job is assessed. As well as this certain stones are particularly prone to be invaded by lichens and mosses. Paths and paving that are well maintained will be in use for many years but if you let the elements take control the stones will crack and become un-level leading to it being dug up to remove roots.
