by Special Care Lawns & Land LLC Landscaping ServiceA neglected landscape can be unpleasant to look at
and an eye-sore to your compound’s appearance. If you have one and do not wish
to have it take a toll on your property’s value, it is time you learned how to
maintain its clean and well-manicured state. To do that, explore the following
tips on how to maintain a clean hardscape in East Tennessee.
Hot to Clean Your Hardscape
If you are the kind that asks whether they should
clean their hardscape, this is for you. It is important to clean it, yet in the
right way. The tips below explain how.
1. Always
keep it clear.
One of the simplest practices of maintaining a clean
hardscape is keeping the surface clear. Always ensure that it is free of debris
and leaves that may collect on walkways, driveways, and the gates that surround
the entrances. Always sweep away the debris and leaves before it starts
decomposing on the surface of the hardscape.
2. Keep
weeds and other growth at bay.
Vines, weeds, as well as roots and plants, may start
sneaking between cracks used in different types of hardscape. If your hardscape
has bricks, pavers, patio, or walkways made of stones or rocks, you may start
noticing some growth in the cracks between surfaces and around the edges. To
take care of it, ensure to pull the vines, weeds, plants, shrubs, and roots or,
if possible, spray them often.
3. Remove
mildew, mold, algae, and moss.
During the summer and spring seasons, non-flowering
matter such as mold, moss, algae, as well as mildew may start accumulating on
the surfaces of your hardscape. While professionally and often cleaning the
surfaces may help, you may want to take your time to scrub the surfaces
thoroughly. The cleaning should at least be thoroughly done and throughout
summer, spring, and fall months to prevent a lot of buildups.
4. Repair
the cracks
Small cracks start developing slowly, you pass them
as non-issues, and before you know it, they are a part of a larger problem. If
you do not wish to have your hardscape features caving in or having your
stones, pavers, and bricks getting broken beyond functionality, it is important
that you repair cracks immediately they start to appear. One cannot afford to
wait until the next time that their commercial hardscaping contractor is
available to carry out minor repairs for them.
