How to Maintain Your Hardscaping & Masonry

Generally concrete is low maintenance, but here are a few things you can do to keep your hardscaping looking its best. At least once a year, you should scrub down surfaces with a mild bleach cleanser. We don’t recommend power washing because it can cause permanent damage and can void your warranty.

Any moss, mold, mildew or algae stains can be removed with a solution like ‘Wet & Forget’. Never use metal shovels or tools to remove snow or ice. If you’re using a snow blower, make sure you use rubber blades. Never use deicers of any kind. They can cause permanent damage from pitting to cracking.

Patio Care Tips From DiSabatino Landscaping

Quality hardscaping and masonry will include a durable sealer, but staining can occur from rusting metal, flower pots, grease from grills, food and drink or oil and gas. Keep gutters, down spots and drains clear because water can cause sediment and erosion voiding your warranty.

So as you can see hardscaping and masonry don’t require a lot of maintenance. Just a little bit of effort keeps it looking good for a long time.
