Fairfax VA Brick Paver Driveway Maintenance

Brick pavers are a great material to use for driveways. They are forgiving of environmental conditions, standing up to heat and freezing temperatures well. But this not to say brick pavers are totally maintenance-free.

What maintenance does your Fairfax VA brick paver driveway need?

  • Regular sweeping can help keep the bricks looking their best and help them to ‘fade’ evenly so the color looks equal throughout the driveway.
  • Clean and use an absorbant on any oil spills on the driveway
  • Replenish the sand between the bricks. The sand will naturally wash away over time, just be sure to add some sand to keep the proper amount between the bricks.
  • Sealing can extend the life and help maintain the appearance of the bricks.
