Beauty and Longevity
Stains:
As we all know stains are aesthetically unappealing and over time, become harder to remove unless your pavers was previously washed and sealed. Stains on your pavers can come in many forms, either Engine oil, transmission and break fluids, grease from automotive vehicles, rust (specially with Montreal’ weather), paint, certain beverage dropped on it such as red wine and cola, and birds’ dropping and animal excrements.
Colour Fading:
Other natural factors such as increasing acid rains and stronger UV rays can dramatically decrease the pigmentation of your pavers and erode the finish of the pavers, making it look colourless, and old.
Accumulation of dirt and weeds:
Canadian harsh winters also account as negative factors for your pavers. The salt and efflorescence deposits will make your pavers’ colour fade away as well as trap dirt into surface pores of your pavers, making it look filthy and reducing the value of your house.
Furthermore, the quantity of sand from the paving joints, which is essential, diminishes with wind blow and rain wash out.
Finally weeds
It is almost inevitable that a non-maintained pavers will suffer from weeds growth in between its joints, in the surface of joint with lower sand level. This will definitely tarnish the look of your pavers and can lead to much more costly maintenance to the point where you will have to replace your complete pavers.
