How to Maintain Your Interlock Pavers Year-Round

Interlock pavers add elegance and durability to outdoor spaces, but proper maintenance is essential to keep them looking their best. Here’s a simple guide to help homeowners care for their interlock throughout the year:

Spring: Deep Cleaning & Inspection

✔ Sweep away dirt, leaves, and debris.
✔ Wash with a pressure washer or mild detergent to remove stains.
✔ Inspect for loose, cracked, or sunken pavers.

Summer: Sealing for Protection

✔ Apply a high-quality sealer to protect against UV rays, oil stains, and water damage.
✔ Ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling.
✔ Refill joint sand if necessary to maintain stability.

Fall: Preparing for Winter

✔ Remove weeds or moss growing between the joints.
✔ Clean off fallen leaves to prevent staining.
✔ Check for shifting pavers before freezing temperatures set in.

Winter: Preventing Damage

✔ Use calcium-based de-icers instead of rock salt to avoid surface damage.
✔ Avoid metal shovels that can scratch the pavers.
✔ Keep pathways clear to reduce water buildup and ice formation.
