What about pattern-imprinted concrete?

Yes — softer pressure, re-seal afterwards. Pattern-imprinted concrete actually relies on its sealer to look right, so re-coating is part of the job.

Should I get the patio sealed?

Optional. A breathable sealer locks in the colour, slows re-soiling and makes future cleans much faster. It's worth it on Indian sandstone and pattern-imprinted concrete.

Will the blocks lose their colour?

No. The colour is bonded into the block — we strip the algae and traffic film off the top, not the pigment underneath.

Do you sweep up after?

Surface swept, joint sand brushed in, debris bagged and gone. We don't leave a sand mound on your lawn.

What stops the weeds coming straight back?

Pre-treatment biocide kills the existing weeds and spores; kiln-dried sand fills the joints so the next ones don't get a foothold.
