Key takeaways

Treat oil spots while they’re fresh.

Sweep weekly so moss can’t settle in joints.

Re-sand paving joints after a deep clean.

A freshly cleaned driveway is a great feeling. With a few small habits you can keep it looking that way for much longer.

Deal with spills early

Fresh oil sits on the surface. Cover it with cat litter or sawdust, leave it overnight, then sweep it up. Old stains soak in and need a specialist treatment.

Sweep and clear

  • Sweep leaves and grit once a week.

  • Pull weeds before they root deep.

  • Keep gutters clear so water doesn’t pool.

Protect the joints

After a deep clean, block paving needs fresh kiln-dried sand in the joints. It keeps weeds out and stops the blocks from moving.
