1. Clean Paver Surfaces Regularly

  look of your outdoor pavers. Dirt, dust, and
  stains may build up over time making the surface
  dull and diminishing their appeal. Regularly
  sweeping the area and washing it off with
  moderate detergents and water can help get rid of
  surface dirt. For tougher stains, such as grease
  or oil, you might consider making use of a
  pressure washer or an appropriate stone cleaner
  designed specifically for natural stone pavers.
  Beware of harsh chemicals as they may damage the
  finish of the pavers.

2. Remove Weeds from the Pavers

• The weeds that grow between paver joints could
  weaken the structure and alter the appearance of
  your area. In summer, the growth of weeds is
  accelerated because of humidity and heat. To stop
  this from happening, you can remove the weeds
  manually or employ an organic herbicide. You may
  apply a natural weed killer such as the vinegar
  and boiling water will keep weeds from growing
  back without damaging pavers. You can also put
  polymeric sand between pavers in order to make
  sure that the weeds stay away.
• Tip To prevent weed growth, use polymeric sand
  between pavers,which is a hardener and decreases
  the chance of weeds germinating.

3. Seal Your Pavers for Extra Protection

• Sealing your pavers provides protection against
  water, UV rays and staining. This is crucial in
  summer, when the pavers have to be exposed to the
  sun. A top-quality sealer for pavers enhances the
  color and gives long lasting durability. Based on
  the use and the exposure, sealing needs to be
  done every 2 to 3 years.
• Tip Choose a breathable, UV-resistant sealant
  suitable for natural stone pavers to prevent
  discoloration or surface damage.

4. Check for Shifting and Settling Repair Any
Damaged Pavers Promptly

• Over time, due to temperature fluctuations and
  soil movement, pavers can move or shift
  unevenly. This could create a hazardous walking
  surface and alter the overall appearance of the
  outdoor area. Look for uneven or loose pavers and
  fix them if necessary. Remove the paver that is
  damaged and level it with sand, then place it in
  a secure position.
• Tip Use a tamper tool to compact the sand base
  before replacing the paver to ensure a stable
  foundation.

5. Refill Sand Between Pavers

• The sand between the pavers functions as a
  binding agent helping them stay in place and
  stopping weeds or small plants from growing. Over
  time, rainfall and constant use could cause this
  erosion of the sand. Replace this sand at a
  minimum every year to ensure the integrity of the
  structure. Polymeric sand is an excellent option
  as it solidifies when wet, decreasing the chance
  of shifting.
• Tip Sweep excess sand into the joints, mist it
  lightly with water, and allow it to settle for a
  secure hold.

6. Protect Pavers from Extreme Heat and Sun
Exposure

• The intense summer sun could cause drying and
  fading which can cause cracks or discoloration of
  natural stone pavers. Utilizing paver tiles for
  outdoor use or shades can limit the sun's direct
  rays and shield your pavers from damage due to
  heat. Think about including pergolas, umbrellas
  or shaded areas above the areas of pavers that
  are heavily used.
• Tip If possible, you should occasionally wet the
  pavers during summer's peak times to help keep
  them cool and to prevent drying out excessively.
