Paver Care Guide

If you have an Orion Landscapes for Living installed paver patio area, here’s are common do’s and don’ts for long-term care.

Paver Care Do's

Clean Up Spills Promptly

Oil, grease, wine, and rust can stain pavers quickly. Blot and clean with a mild detergent as soon as possible.

Sweep + Leaf Blow Regularly

Remove dirt, leaves, and debris often to prevent staining and weed growth.

Clean When Needed

Dawn Powerwash and a spray hose can work well for quick cleanings. It’s important not to use too high pressure of spray hose, and be careful of spraying cleaners on nearby plants.

Acidic or bleach-based cleaners can damage paver surfaces and joint sand. Stick to paver-safe products.

In winter, use plastic snow shovels to avoid scratching or chipping pavers.

✘Don’t Use Rock Salt

Salt can erode the paver surface and harm joint sand. Use sand or calcium magnesium acetate instead.
