The process of block paving cleaning or driveway cleaning can be simply broken down in 3 stages:

1.      The application of a weed killer should the driveway or patio be particularly weedy. Although it should be noted that heavily weeded block paving can be an indication of poorly laid paving and a substandard base and no amount of weed killer or cleaning will permanently reduce the weeds from appearing from underneath the paving.
2.      The clean firstly using a rotary surface cleaner to ensure the bulk of the driveway is cleaned in a systematic and uniform way. Then cleaning with a lance to remove those awkward uncleaned  areas that have been particularly awkward to get to with the rotary surface cleaner.Including the kerbs and edges and tight corners.
3.      The application of kiln dried sand once the driveway has dried sufficiently over several days to allow the sand to be swept into the block paving joints.

Here in our latest video Block Paving Maintenance detail the process of driveway or pation cleaning.
