3 Keys to Proper Natural Stone Patio Maintenance
Annual Power Washing
While natural stone patios do not require much maintenance, power washing annually will get rid of staining and keep your patio looking its best. Avoid acid based cleaners as they can permanently etch your stone and are not safe for plants, pets, or people.
Re-sand Joints
Over time the joints between stones can be worn down or broken apart by the elements. Re-sanding with polymeric sand every few years is a great way to prevent excess water damage and plant growth.
Avoid Salt in Winter
One simple trick to avoid shortening the life of your patio is not putting salt down on it in the winter. Sodium chloride and other de-icers will open up ways for more water to get into and behind the stones and can create cracking and unevenness. Sand can be a good alternative since it provides traction and has some de-icing qualities.
