Protecting Your Investment
Quality paving lasts decades with proper maintenance. Perth’s sandy soil, hot summers, and winter rains create specific maintenance challenges. Here is your seasonal guide to keeping paved areas looking great.
Regular Maintenance
Sweep regularly to prevent organic matter buildup. Pull weeds from joints promptly. Re-sand joints annually with kiln-dried sand. Apply weed prevention treatment to joints in spring before the growing season.
Annual and Seasonal Tasks
Pressure washing once or twice a year removes algae, stains, and grime. Re-seal natural stone every 2-3 years. Check for ant nests under pavers (a common Perth issue) and treat before they undermine the base.
When to Get Help
Sunken or uneven pavers need professional relevelling. Large-scale cleaning and sealing is best done by professionals. Connect with Perth maintenance professionals for quotes. See our maintenance cost guide and paving types guide.
