driveway cleaned

Just spent last five and a half hours pressure washing the front drive. Getting the moss out of the joints took the time and still got a couple of dark areas

Re: driveway cleaned

I don't come cheap Meg so you will have to open up that velum purse at last very very wide and let the Egyptian moths out first. I still have to do the sanding but have to wait until the bricks dry out.
This kind of work is for a younger person really, I have not ached so much for years
What also takes the time is getting rid of that white fungus spots on the bricks as well as cleaning out the joints.

Re: driveway cleaned

Oh don;t Meg got too much to do sorting out the garden for the first time.

Sue says what stays and what comes out and I do the digging and heaving.

Re: driveway cleaned

That looks great RS! Well done!

I had a driveway like that at my house before. Wish I'd knew you then

will look even better with new sand in the joints. You could have grabbed me over 43 years ago when I was just still single.
But you would have only been about 14 then still at school, bit too young really

Re: driveway cleaned

Patio Magic used once a year does the trick. It does nothing when first applied but over the weeks months ahead, the driveway and paths clean up and stay that way. Haven't needed to pressure wash since using this.

It doesn't do anything to prevent the build-up of moss in the cracks between the bricks but the brick faces certainly stay clean. Works well on concrete paths too.

Re: driveway cleaned

Looks good - but such hard work.
I was wondering if you could seal them with something to stop the dirt penetrating in future?
