General Decking and Maintenance
- Pavers are a man-made product and therefore should be uniform and level at the installation process.
- However, pavers are not grouted in place like flagstone, but rather sanded into place.
- The edge of the paver area is grouted and that is what locks the surface area into formation.
- The sanding in the body of the area will over time thin and wash away due to outdoor environments and maintenance such as washing down your patio.
- The sanding process is straight forward and can be maintained by purchasing additional sand at any home department store and broomed onto & into the paver surface.
- This process is not required but is recommend for obtaining a better looking & longer lasting surface.
- Hosing down the area can also cause calcium buildup from the water which will look like a water substance on the pavers and be eliminated much like the calcium build up you get in your shower.
Barbecue Maintenance

- Note: this must be maintained

- Wear eye protection and follow instructions/safety
- Do not use pumice stone as you may damage glaze on tile face
- This will make problem come back quicker & more severe
