Besides a stunning landscape, driveway and patio cleaning can give your home a classy and well-kept look. Surely you have, at some time, gone for a scenic drive and passed through some lovely neighbourhoods with perfectly mown grass and weed free flower beds. Imagine those homes with oil stained driveways and dirty patios. That doesn’t leave quite the same impression does it? Whether your resin driveways colours or patio is rock slabs, cobblestone, or poured concrete, there are ways to keep it looking fresh and clean year round.
Sand and grit can work its way down into small cracks and crevices and, over time, cause them to spread. Water from rain or snow can get into the cracks and freeze into ice, causing the crack to spread and widen. These cracks are unsightly and if a frost heave were to occur, they could cause real damage that can be expensive to repair. Driveway cleaning with a high pressure blast of water, can remove small rocks and sand from the surface, so that they won’t cause surface pitting or worsening of small cracks.
A leaf blower, used regularly, will rid your driveway of leaves, twigs, and other lightweight debris that can also cause messes. If you have ever seen what happens to a concrete driveway when a nearby crab apple tree is losing its fruit you will appreciate what a good driveway and patio cleaning by professional cleaners can do for your home or business.
Prevention is always a good idea, and especially so in this type of scenario. Soft, ripe fruit from crab, cherry or other decorative fruit bearing trees fall onto the driveway and is then repetitively run over by vehicles coming and going from a home or business, leaving a nasty mush which stains the driveway surface. It can be difficult to remove all of the stains, so keeping the fruit swept up or blown off is a priority. Prevention is not always possible or convenient, so in the event a mess like this occurs on your driveway, a good pressure wash is essential. This may be the time you would want to call a cleaning company who is an expert in driveway and patio cleaning and has the proper equipment to do the job right.
A stone garden path or patio is another area where stains can happen. Again, falling fruit can leave a mess, as can fading flower blossoms, tree sap, or other garden debris. Following a regular maintenance routine of patio cleaning can make all the difference between a messy and unkempt appearance and a lovely and memorable garden.
If your patio or driveway is looking a bit of a bad state, then you should call a cleaning company that specialises in driveway and patio cleaning and can send out fully trained and professional cleaners to make the exterior of your home immaculate.
