The warm weather of summer is finally changing into a cooler breeze. The leaves of Autumn are starting to make their beautiful display of colors. It is indeed a magical exhibition of nature. However, with all that beauty comes the hard work of keeping our outdoor areas clean and neat. So, even if you are tempted, please do not neglect your patio this season.
The continuous accumulation of dead leaves in your patio can be bothersome, and its aesthetic look may quickly start deteriorating. In this blog we will share some quick and easy tips to stay on top of your patio maintenance.
Keep your patio minimalistic
The cooler weather and shorter days may keep the kids indoors. If that is your case, gather all the toys/games that might not get used often during this season. This will allow you to keep your patio looking cleaner and organized without having to spend hours collecting and organizing toys laying around.
Invest in a leaf blower
This tool will help you to make the job faster and easier. And depending on the size of your patio, you could be saving hours of hard work. If you have a big backyard, remember to work in smaller sections and set up a collection point.
Stay motivated
Keep in mind that if you keep your patio nice and clean you will be able to use it. This is the perfect time of the year to enjoy outdoors a nice war cup of tea or coffee while you enjoy the cooler breeze.
Do it periodically
If you establish a weekly cleaning routine you probably won’t have to deal with a huge accumulation of leaves, which may lead to harder work, patio stains and other damages.
Make a splash
You can finish up your patio maintenance routine using a hose to keep it fresh and clean. Be careful with using a power washing machine as it can complicate minor cracks.
Remember that part of the Autumn fun is to spend it outdoors. With friends, family or alone, be ready to enjoy your best season yet. For questions about your patio needs please feel free to contact Cervenka Masonry at 704-249-8055 or follow us on Facebook.
