Spring: - Start the season by thoroughly cleaning your stone patio. Use a pressure washer to remove any dirt, grime, and debris that may have accumulated over the winter months. This will help prevent algae and mold growth. - Inspect the joints between the stones for any signs of erosion or weeds. Replace any loose or missing stones and remove any weeds that have taken root.
Summer: - During the hot summer months, it's important to keep your stone patio well-maintained. Regularly sweep the surface to remove leaves, twigs, and other debris. This will prevent staining and help maintain the look of your patio. - Apply a sealer to the stone patio to protect it from UV rays, moisture, and other environmental factors. This will help prevent fading, staining, and water damage.
Fall: - As the leaves begin to fall, make sure to regularly remove them from your stone patio. Wet leaves can stain the stones and promote mold and mildew growth. - Trim back any overhanging branches or foliage to prevent debris from falling onto your patio and causing damage.
Winter: - In colder climates, it's important to protect your stone patio from frost and ice. Use a snow shovel or broom to remove snow and ice promptly to prevent damage to the stones. - Avoid using salt or ice melt on your stone patio, as these can cause discoloration and erosion. Instead, use sand or cat litter for traction.
