Pavers/Driveway

Hi all,

Looking for options on how I can make our current driveway look better. They're red pavers (about 12 years old..)

Over the green moss and weeds. After recommendation on tradies/companies in Sydney - North West and on what's the best way to renew this at a low cost/low maintenance.

Thank you

Photos from google, but looks similar.

And then spray with Wet & Forget to kill moss and slime.

Then spread some new course sand.

 

Boiling water works well to kill weeds in pavers.

Thanks all. Looks like I'll have to do some work! hah!

I must have not used the right kind of pressure cleaner. Found it very time consuming with very little to show for all the work!

Can you recommend a specific one or type?

Thanks

 

My father in law has a Karcher with a Honda motor.
I think it's 2.5HP, smashes the electric ones. Pretty loud though.

I usually end up full of dirt when the spray hits the bits between the pavers, all the dirt flies up and hits me in the face.

 

A pressure cleaner is slow work..
I use my parents crappy Karcher (one up from base model) to clean their tiles every year. It takes a couple of hours, but its worth it.
You can speed up the process a bit with a bigger machine, but then you have to be careful, as some of the high powered ones will slowly dig into concrete.

If you were going to buy one, look for a petrol powered one, with at least 2000psi, and 7L/minute. That should cover you in a heap of uses, and will be perfect with the driveway.

They aren't cheap though. If you're going to use it a fair bit, get a decent one. You can buy one from bunnings that fits the bill, but they are cheap crap. Not sure on costs of hiring.. check Kennards or similar.
