Paver Patio NEEDED to Be Cleaned

[@carlw]

Cool, perfect timing, I have to do some cleaning of my slabs due to bird poop and then eating berries. I also have to look for your previous video where you used some foamy, hardening material that brushed off in order to clean sandstone stair slabs. Then it's high time to make life easier and seal with a water soluble sealant as per your videos. Cheers. 😀

I'd recommend a bigger pressure washer for that surface cleaner. I've got a similar cleaner and a 4400 psi with 4.2gpm pressure washer and mine is basically the minimum for my cleaner lol if I set it lower for pavers it doesn't work very well

[@iamahardscaper]

I thought the same but i had one paver manufacturer say not to exceed a certain psi or you will damage the pavers. There is another hardscape tool company that says the same thing. So i'm going to be testing this to see

Hello, I had a quick question if u don’t mind?? I watched an old video of yours where u recommended “Easy Joint”. I was curious if u still use it and still recommend? I’ve read some reviews where people have had an issue with algae growth. Was curious what your thoughts are now on Easy Joint, since it’s been out several years?? Love the channel and appreciate your thoughts!!

[@iamahardscaper]

Still love it, still use it. The issue with algae growth is not in the jointing compound. Whatever you use in those scenarios, you are going to get organic growth. That is an issue of too much shade or not enough slope to get the water off of the surface, or a mixture of the two. Good thing about it is that pressure washing it (for the most part) wont cause the joints to blow out (like you would with polymeric sand).

Great to hear!! Was hoping u still thought it was a good product. I have a flagstone walkway with larger spaces in between, so thought it was my best option. Especially cause I can pressure wash it once or twice a year, if needed. Appreciate your quick response!!

[@iamahardscaper]

I would double check the maximum width that the product can be installed to. I think it is around 1 or 2 inches.

Beats drainage jobs.

[@iamahardscaper]

😂 debatable

[@ColinDomaschofsky]

@@iamahardscaper a lot of the reason a manufacturer would recommend a lower PSI is mainly an insurance policy. if the stones are a decade old and especially tumbled there isn't much more you can do to them that the weather hasn't already done.

[@iamahardscaper]

that makes sense
