The detail

Block paving and patio slabs are porous. Rain, leaf fall and shade feed a slow build-up of algae, moss and black spotting that dulls the colour until the whole drive looks a decade older than it is. Sealing it in with a stiff brush and a garden hose does nothing — it has to come out under pressure.

We work the surface with a rotary flat-surface cleaner, which keeps the lance at a fixed height and a fixed speed. That gives you an even finish edge to edge with no zebra striping, and no divots blown into the jointing. Edges, kerbs, steps and awkward corners get finished by hand with a lance so nothing is left half-done.

Once the surface is clean we brush fresh kiln-dried sand back into the joints on block paving. That's the step most people skip, and it's the one that keeps the blocks locked together and slows the weeds coming back.
