Is Spring The Best Time Of The Year To Clean Your Drive?

Come rain or shine and through all weathers, paving and driveway surfaces are built to last, survive and thrive for many years.

When winter finally subsides and the weather starts to brighten, many people start to think of ways to clean, refresh and renovate their homes, but it is also the best time of the year to start thinking of cleaning your drive, patio and other paved surfaces as well.

Here are some of the biggest reasons why cleaning in spring is the best idea.

The Temperature Is Just Right

Working in winter is not only rough on you but rough on your cleaning equipment, especially if you use a pressure washer to clear away the dirt and grime. Summer can sometimes be too warm, and if there is a hosepipe ban in your area due to particularly hot conditions, that can thwart cleaning completely.

Fixes Problems Before They Expand

It also helps you fix issues with mould, mildew and staining right away rather than allowing the damage and unsightly appearance to spread further and lead to more extensive damage to your paving surface once it begins.

It is also an opportune moment to apply a sealant to your paving surface which will make it more resistant to further intrusion and will make your clearing the rest of the year even easier.

No Snow, Mud Or Standing Water

Spring weather tends to be somewhat more clement than the winter, which means that much of the snow has melted and the mud has been washed away by February and March rain showers.

This means that a lot of the debris has already been cleared for you, making it easier to get started, your cleaning can be more thorough and the results more astonishing, leading to a beautiful drive surface that can look as good as new.
