While the material chosen – e.g block paving or tarmac driveways – will determine some of the more specific things you can do to ensure proper maintenance, there are some general rules around cleaning that we thought we’d disclose for clients in the Bexleyheath area (one of our main areas of coverage)…

Maintaining Garden Patios & Driveways
Clean Regularly – While garden patios and driveways may not look too dirty even after an extended period of regular use, it pays to clean “little and often”. This way you’ll avoid dirt getting hard-set, or discolouration and mould becoming an issue. Many a landscaping company and driveway company – and ours near Bexleyheath is no different – recommend sweeping every few weeks. A more thorough wash, dependent on material, is recommended three to four times a year. Again, the material chosen will also dictate whether extra cleaning might be worthwhile, so don’t hesitate to ask our team for post-completion maintenance advice.
Between the Cracks – Oftentimes, it’s the unseen dirt that causes the most problems. When neglected over a long enough period of time, it can lead to issues and mean you need to call in a driveway company or landscaping company to conduct repairs. So when you do get down to cleaning, get in between the cracks and gaps in between block paving, stone pavers, etc. This goes for both driveways and garden patios.
Don’t be Afraid to Take Out the Big Guns – Professional cleaning companies often use jet washers to blast out deep set and hard to reach dirt from garden patios, and anything from block paving to tarmac driveways. You might want to get the professionals in from time to time – there are plenty offering jet washing active in the Bexleyheath area – or you could rent your own every now and again for a patio and driveway spring clean!
