Preparing Your Patio for the Winter Months

September 27th, 2022

As winter quickly approaches, there are a few steps you can take today to ensure your patio looks its best come Spring.

  • Metal Shovels: While its best to remove any snow or ice from your patio in a timely manner, we don’t recommend doing so with a metal shovel. A metal shovel can cause chipping and damage. Instead, opt for a plastic shovel or snow blower.
  • Clear Your Patio: It’s best to clear your patio of any debris before winter sets-in and stays.
  • Sealers: Sealers can be a good solution to protect our patio from cracking and contracting (both caused by moisture). They are best applied on a day above freezing and without precipitation.
  • Ice Melt: We do not recommend using ice melt on your patio as the salt can cause erosion, discoloration and cracking.
