It is very common to see people sprucing up their properties at the start of spring, in order to enjoy the outdoors during the warmer summer months. However, you should also consider cleaning your driveway before the colder weather arrives. This is because the extended wet weather, along with colder temperatures, can make your block paving driveways a health and safety risk.

Any moss and algae which has grown on top of and around your driveway surface will make it become increasingly slippery. Furthermore, the darker damper winter climate creates the ideal conditions for moss to grow. Removing this hazard before it can take hold is certainly beneficial to the safety as well as the appearance of your block paving driveway.

Block paving driveway maintenance is a task which should not be neglected and, if carried out correctly, will keep the driveway looking sharp and allow you to get the best use out of it. There are also other benefits of looking after your driveway such as:

• Maintaining curb appeal: This is important, especially if you are looking to sell you property in the near future. Having a driveway which is in a poor state will not help you to attract potential buyers. 
• Safety: Maintaining a surface in a good condition so that it is easy for everyone to walk upon will provide you with peace of mind. 
• Functionality: If your driveway is cracked and covered in weeds, it may no longer be able to use it as intended. For instance, having a driveway which is in good condition will limit the risk of damage or wear to your vehicle tyres.
