Aggregates Maintenance and Care

Regular Cleaning

Regular cleaning is the first step in aggregate maintenance. It prevents the buildup of debris and organic matter, preserving the appearance and functionality of your aggregates.

Step 1: Sweeping: Begin by sweeping the surface to remove loose dirt, leaves, and other debris. A stiff-bristle broom or a leaf blower can make this task more efficient.

Step 2: Rinsing: For more stubborn dirt or stains, consider using a garden hose to rinse the aggregates. A pressure washer can be even more effective, but be cautious not to use too much pressure, which could displace the aggregates.

Weed Control

Weeds can be a persistent issue in outdoor spaces with aggregates. Proper weed control ensures that unwanted plants don’t take root.

Step 1: Weed Barriers: Installing weed barriers beneath the aggregates can be an effective preventive measure. These barriers inhibit weed growth while allowing water to permeate.

Step 2: Weed Killer: If weeds do appear, use a suitable weed killer. Apply it carefully to avoid affecting nearby plants, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Regrading

Over time, aggregates may settle or wash away, which can result in an uneven surface and poor drainage. Regular regrading helps maintain the integrity of your aggregate layers.

Step 1: Assess the Surface: Inspect the area for any low spots, erosion, or unevenness. Mark these areas for attention.

Step 2: Adding Aggregates: For low spots, add fresh aggregates of the same type to build up the surface. Spread them evenly.

Step 3: Compaction: Use a compactor or a hand tamper to compact the added aggregates. This helps prevent future settling.
