At Auburn Sky Landscaping, we believe in the longevity and beauty of our projects. Recently, we revisited a property where we installed a patio and waterfall over a decade ago. The new homeowners wanted to revive the space, and we recommended a thorough cleaning and the application of a protectant. Here's how we transformed the 10-year-old pavers into a like-new condition.

The Project

Initial Assessment
- Property Overview: The property features a patio and waterfall installed by Auburn Sky Landscaping 10 years ago.
- Homeowner Goals: The new owners wanted to restore the patio's appearance and extend its lifespan.
Cleaning Process
- Power Washing: We began by power washing the patio to remove grime and debris. Our specialized power washing head ensured an even clean without streaks.
- Plant Maintenance: We pruned and tied back plants to prevent damage and ensure thorough cleaning.
Paver Adjustment
- Leveling Pavers: Some pavers had settled over time. We lifted these, added stone aggregate underneath, and replaced them to ensure a smooth surface.
- Polymeric Sand Application: We filled the joints with polymeric sand to stabilize the pavers and prevent weed growth.
Protectant Application
- Eco-Friendly Product: We used a plant-friendly protectant to enhance the color and durability of the pavers without sealing them.
- Application Technique: The protectant was applied in smooth, even patterns for maximum coverage and effectiveness.

Results

The patio looked as good as new after the cleaning and protectant application. The protectant will help maintain the pavers’ color and integrity for 3 to 5 years, providing a breathable layer that supports longevity.

Conclusion

Reviving old pavers can significantly enhance the look and feel of your outdoor space. At Auburn Sky Landscaping, we are committed to helping our clients maintain the beauty and functionality of their landscapes.
