Pressure Washing Pavers: Sealing, Sand and Aftercare Tips

By @jaredwsmd188

Pavers are one of the most popular outdoor surfaces across Melbourne Bayside, from driveways in Brighton and Sandringham to courtyards in Hampton, Beaumaris and Mentone.

By @jaredwsmd188

Choosing between soft washing and high-pressure cleaning is less about which method is stronger and more about which method suits the surface. A concrete driveway, painted weatherboard wall and tiled roof have different cleaning requirements. Using the wrong approach can strip coatings, damage mortar or force water into places it should never reach. For homes across Melbourne Bayside, coastal exposure adds another consideration. Salt deposits, windblown sand, shaded gard
