Patio restoration 101: how to bring your outdoor living area back to life
As the season begins to change and cold weather returns, patio restoration may be far from your mind. However, it is now the perfect time to turn attention to a crucial aspect of our homes that often goes unnoticed and neglected once the summer sun is gone – the patio.
Whether it’s a small stone patio or a sprawling block-paved yard, this outdoor space has likely seen its fair share of foot traffic, harsh weather conditions, and neglect this year – that’s why our residential patio restoration services are here to breathe new life into your outdoor space.
Today, we’ll explore each step of patio restoration and all the benefits that servicing your patio can bring to your home every season of the year.
1. Remove ground-in dirt and grime
Over time, dirt, grime, and plant life like moss can accumulate on your patio’s surface, making it look worn and causing splintering between the stone layers, which can create an uneven and unsafe structure.
A professional restoration process involves deep cleaning methods, such as pressure washing, soft washing, and stone repointing, that can effectively remove ground-in dirt, stains, and growths, revealing the original beautiful stones in your outdoor space and ensuring the layers are not displaced.
2. Protect the surface whatever the weather
The North East of the UK experiences some of the harshest weather conditions in the country, from icy winters to stormy summers.
These extremes can take a toll on your patio’s surface, causing cracks, chips, and deterioration overall that occurs more frequently.
A patio restoration service not only addresses these issues on a cosmetic level but also restores the structural integrity of the surface all the way down to ensure every member of the family is safe to enjoy the space.
3. Add to the longevity of your patio
After the patio restoration process is complete, your patio can be expertly sealed with safe products to protect against future wear and tear.
For busy driveways or parking bays, the application of this sealant is especially important, as it acts as a protective layer – preventing dirt, grease, oil, and moisture from penetrating the surface and causing a slippery surface.
By investing in a full patio restoration and finishing with a sealant service, your patio becomes easier to clean and maintain.
4. Secure the ultimate kerb appeal
Who doesn’t want their home to always look its best? Your patio plays a significant role in your home’s kerb appeal.
A beautifully restored and maintained patio can transform the entire look of your property, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Patio restoration of course does not only extend to patio areas, these techniques can be used for pathways, parking spots, and driveways, to ensure that all block paving outside your home is always kept to a high quality.
Whether you’re looking to add value to your home or simply want to impress guests, a restored patio is the perfect way to make a positive first impression.
