Protecting Your Hardscaping from the Elements

Cleaning and Sealing Hardscaping

Over time, pavers and stone can lose their luster due to dirt and weathering. We offer professional cleaning and sealing services to restore their original beauty. We pressure wash surfaces to remove grime and algae that can make walkways slippery. After cleaning, we apply a high-quality sealant. This barrier protects the stone from stains and moisture penetration, enhancing the color and making future cleaning much easier.

Managing Moss on Hardscaping

Moss is a persistent issue in our damp climate. It grows in the joints of pavers and on the surface of retaining walls. If left unchecked, it can displace sand and destabilize the structure. We use eco-friendly methods to remove moss without damaging the stone or surrounding plants. Our team also refills joint sand to lock pavers back in place. This keeps your patio level and prevents weeds from taking root in the cracks.

Irrigation Services Winterization (Optional)

As part of our winter prep, we address your water systems. Our irrigation services include completely draining the lines to prevent freeze damage. Water left in pipes can expand and crack the PVC, leading to expensive spring repairs. We use industrial air compressors to ensure every drop is removed. This critical step protects your plumbing and ensures your system survives the cold months intact.

Inspecting Hardscaping for Safety and Stability

Checking Retaining Walls in Hardscaping

Heavy winter rains put immense pressure on retaining walls. We inspect these structures for signs of bulging or shifting. We check the drainage weep holes to ensure they are clear and functioning. If water gets trapped behind the wall, it can cause catastrophic failure. Our inspections provide peace of mind, knowing that your walls are structurally sound and capable of holding back the saturated soil of a Seattle winter.

Repairing Frost Heave in Hardscaping

Freeze-thaw cycles can cause the ground to shift, leading to uneven pavers. In the spring, we survey your walkways for potential trip hazards caused by frost heave. We lift the affected stones, re-level the base, and reset them perfectly. This maintenance restores the smooth surface of your paths. It ensures that your property is safe for your family and guests, maintaining the high standards expected of a luxury home.

Spring Tuning of Irrigation Services (Optional)

When the weather warms, we bring your garden back to life. Our spring irrigation services involve turning the water back on and testing every zone. We look for heads that may have been damaged by lawnmowers or winter debris. We adjust spray patterns to account for plant growth. This tune-up guarantees that your landscape receives the hydration it needs right from the start of the growing season.
