Why Patio Maintenance Matters

Even the highest-quality pavers, like Techo-Bloc, need care to resist wear from weather, foot traffic, and seasonal changes. Regular maintenance ensures your patio:

• Retains its color and texture.
• Remains level and safe for walking.
• Prevents weed growth and stains.
• Withstands Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles.

Step 1: Regular Cleaning

• Sweep debris like leaves, dirt, and sand to prevent scratches and stains.
• Wash gently using a garden hose or low-pressure washer. Avoid high-pressure washers that can erode sand joints.
• Remove stains promptly with mild soap and water. For tougher stains, use a cleaner recommended by Techo-Bloc.

Step 2: Sealing Your Techo-Bloc Patio

Sealing protects your patio from moisture, fading, and stains.

• When to Seal: Every 2–3 years, depending on weather exposure.
• Benefits: Enhances color, prevents moss/algae growth, and makes cleaning easier.
• Professional Sealing: Hardscapes Landscaping provides professional sealing services for long-lasting results.

Step 3: Winter Care

• Snow & Ice Removal: Use a plastic shovel or a snow blower to prevent scratching the surface. Avoid metal shovels.
• Ice Melt: Choose pet- and concrete-safe deicers to prevent damage.
• Drainage Check: Ensure water drains properly to avoid pooling and freezing under the pavers.

Step 4: Repairs and Leveling

Even with proper care, occasional settling or uneven areas may occur. Hardscapes Landscaping can:

• Re-level pavers that have shifted.
• Replace damaged or chipped pavers.
• Restore sand joints to prevent movement and weed growth.
