BLOG Seasonal Tips for Maintaining Your Hardscape with Matteo Experts Aug 09, 2024

As the seasons change, it's important to pay attention to the maintenance of your hardscape to keep it looking beautiful all year round. At Matteo Hardscapes, we are here to provide you with some seasonal tips to ensure your hardscape remains in top condition with the help of our experts.

Spring: - As the snow melts and the temperatures rise, it's time to start cleaning up your hardscape. Remove any debris that has accumulated over the winter months such as leaves, twigs, and dirt. - Inspect your hardscape for any damage that may have occurred during the colder months. Look for cracks in the pavers, loose stones, or any signs of shifting.

Summer: - In the summer, it's important to regularly wash and seal your hardscape to protect it from the harsh sunlight and heat. Our experts at Matteo Hardscapes can help you choose the right sealant for your specific hardscape materials. - Keep an eye out for weeds growing between the pavers or stones and remove them promptly to prevent them from spreading.

Fall: - As the leaves begin to fall, make sure to keep your hardscape clear of debris to prevent staining and damage. Use a leaf blower or a broom to sweep away any fallen leaves. - Consider adding lighting features to your hardscape to extend its use into the darker months. Our team can help you design and install lighting that will enhance the beauty of your outdoor space.

Winter: - In the winter, it's important to protect your hardscape from ice and snow. Use a plastic shovel to remove snow and ice instead of metal tools that could scratch or damage the surface. - Avoid using chemical de-icing products on your hardscape as they can cause discoloration and damage. Instead, opt for more gentle alternatives such as sand or kitty litter.
