Preparing Your Decorative Concrete for the Summer

It’s likely across the year and changing seasons that your decorative concrete has accumulated moss, dirt and other debris from the winter months. Your concrete may have even suffered some other damage, like cracks. As such, it’s a great idea to repair your concrete and rejuvenate it in time for summer.

If your concrete is simply dirty, you can have it pressure-washed by professionals. Pressure washing can easily, quickly and thoroughly remove dirt, stains, mud and even algae and moss that could have built up across winter.

If you’re dealing with more serious damage, there are options available to retain your concrete’s top condition.

Concrete resealing

Concrete resealing is a process that helps preserve the appearance and integrity of your decorative concrete. It provides an extra layer of protection against staining, surface damage and wearing caused by the elements.

When you reseal your concrete, its surface can last longer against potentially damaging factors such as extreme temperatures. It also makes maintenance a lot quicker and easier for you. Even though your concrete was sealed when installed, it is still a good idea to have it resealed to increase its longevity. Your concrete will look as good as new even years down the line!

Concrete resurfacing

Another way to repair damaged concrete is with concrete resurfacing. During this process, a concrete coating is applied over the damaged surface. The coating introduces new colours, textures and patterns, depending on your choice. Aside from covering up the damage, concrete resurfacing is a great way to reinvent the look of your concrete. It can give your driveway, patio or indoor floors a whole new vibe that fits your summer aesthetic. It’s great for fixing cracks, correcting discolourations and stains and updating your area’s design.
