First, be aware of the patio surroundings.  Any plant material that is close to the patio must be tied back and covered up for protection.  Specific stains require specific cleaning solutions.  Yard Smart recommends using Unilock products for the best results.  For general stains, dilute standard cleaning solution with warm water.  Use a power washer and a stiff, nylon brush, mixed with good old-fashioned elbow grease.  After cleaning, to preserve that clean, fresh appearance, we recommend applying a sealant.  The sealing process brings out the color in the pavers and adds a protective coating over the patio surface.  We recommend a professional, such as TEAM YARD SMART to apply the sealant.  Keeping your patio clean and shiny will add years to the beauty of your outdoor living space.  Call us at 440-235-9273 with any questions or to schedule a patio cleaning!
