Brick Pavers Denver Maintenance Requirements

Once you’ve decided to spend the necessary money and upgrade your home or office with a brick patio, sidewalk, or driveway, the question about maintenance and upkeep requirements begin. In fact, it may be something you consider even prior to starting the project but either way, the answers support brick pavers and their minimum maintenance responsibilities. 

There are a number of factors which support utilizing a brick paver surface for your next project which will not only enhance the look of your home or office but can also influence the property value in a positive way. Ultimately, the work required for upkeep of a brick paver surface is minimal and the durability is unmatched by many competitors – including cement, rock, and asphalt.
Brick pavers offer the following benefits and limited support once professionally installed.
CLEANING
Cleaning the brick pavers once they have been installed is arguably the biggest factor for maintaining the groomed look of a project and keeping the stones in optimal shape. While the frequency at which you seal pavers depends on use, weather, and other variable factors, the stones can often be returned to pristine condition after just a simple power wash. 

REPLACEMENT
Maintenance for other hardscape surfaces often requires complete replacement or a patch which is extremely noticeable even when professionally adhered to an existing surface. Fortunately, should a brick paver need replacement, which in itself is a rare occurrence due to their extreme durability, only the cracked, broken, or damaged piece needs to be removed and then a match can be reinstalled to retrofit the design.

There is often availability for bricks which have been weathered and then will match up with whatever should need replacing or a simple power wash can blend any patch back into the mix – appearing like a cohesive unit. It is rare that a brick should need replacing but knowing that small sections can be corrected without interfering with your schedule or budget is definitely a benefit.
EVALUATION
Finally, a routine inspection of your surface is suggested in order to recognize any damaging characteristics of areas in need of attention. While there isn’t a real need for daily or even weekly observations, checking in periodically – especially following extreme temperature changes, a fluctuation in use, or heavy rains, can be beneficial and keep your brick paver surface in optimal shape and lasting for a lifetime or even longer.
