I think you’re correct in your lack of weep hole causing an immense amount of water just sitting under that paving. This moisture will just rise and probably be a big factor. The big tell on that is that there are large areas on that patio that have moved (sank/subsided). I also think that block paving is just particularly susceptible to moss returning so quick as the sand is just always going to be a live area for organisms to grow

This last 6 months has been incredibly wet and barely had any sun so it's perfect environment for the unwanteds, I don't think it's anything you've done I genuinely think it's just the conditions we've had

Doesn’t matter what you do,here in Ireland we had such a crap summer and winter that everything is gone green,even new houses have gone green,the other day I sprayed 2 year old roof.No biocide in the world will keep surfaces klean for a year + if the weather is crap.

Yeah its been particulalry bad hasnt it. At least everyone is having the same issue and its not just me doing something wrong 🙈

@ched999uk 5 ай бұрын

If biocide does stay on/in a surface then spraying after re-sanding seems a more logical way to go. I think if you can life a tile the manufacturers print the name on the underside. If you drill say a 3mm pilot hole first it makes it easier and more accurate. New van looks a monster :-)

as a garden designer and landscaper i just cannot understand why people put block paving everywhere as a Patio in this country. its murder with our wet weather to keep weeds and moss under control. I push people to put Porcelain down now. much easier to look after.

@almilhouse9059 29 күн бұрын

I done my drive at the end of last summer, I kept on top of weeds but lost the battle as last 2 months the growth has been unreal, everything I cleaned has gone green from the 10 mo ths of rain and where is our summer as here in Ireland its still raining most days

Is it a north facing garden? That could cause a lot of shade and moss loves dark and damp places.

I'm in Australia so this may not be relevant, House 1, the decking boards on level 2 look very different to the ones "we" are used to here, if those boards are smooth on the underside, the grooves showing on top "we" call reeding to shed the water that runs off the boards like Stalactites in caves. I see more installed with the reeding to the top here as people think doing so will increase grip, but it actually traps moisture on top and actually makes them slippery over time.

@simonmillington9970 5 ай бұрын

I think you may be right, and if you had biocided the block paving after sanding the biocide would have soaked into the sand and lasted longer but I think the sand on top of the biocide will just cover it up

@SMOUT_ 5 ай бұрын

I'd be interested to see the difference! Maybe i'll do a test patch somewhere 🤔

@SpicSpanExterieurReiniging 5 ай бұрын

In the Netherlands, recent government policies have significantly reduced the use of strong chemicals by government councils in the last few years, resulting in a more thriving nature, especially moss and algae. This surge in growth poses challenges for city councils and residential areas alike, necessitating more extensive and frequent maintenance to prevent the rapid spread and regrowth of algae, weeds, and moss. As a second-year exterior cleaner, I've noticed that many customers have also mentioned the drastic and quick return of these growths, which was not as prevalent a few years ago. It seems the policy changes regarding chemical use might be a contributing factor. However, since they can't rely on strong chemicals, it's a constant challenge to keep these growths at bay.

@almilhouse9059 5 ай бұрын

Boiling water is great for weeds and also white vinegar, I believe pws is working on something that isn't a weed killer, but its to treat the blocks etc but you shouldn't get it near any weeds 😉😉

considering cleaning my gutters ... what is putting me off is i dont fancy resting a ladder against the plastic gutter. ive noticed in some of your videos you seem fine with doing this. is it ok to do?

@almilhouse9059 29 күн бұрын

You can buy a ladder stand off attachment you fix on, it essentially has 2 legs that make contact with the wall so the ladder is stepped back to leave you the space to be off the gutters, also greatas you are further back to be able to reach into the gutters especially the type of concrete slates on my house where theyre so far into the gutters its hard to even slide your fingers in.... As Jake says, he's too tight to get them and as he ain't a big overweight fella he can somewhat get away with it

The drive / patio at the start. Nothing can guarantee moss or weeds returning even if it was seald wouldn’t be ever. As said it’s due to environmental factors and possibly poor drainage. Personally I am still whery of bio treating patios due to some of the risks of bio, but am going to start using more of the pure seal products witch I know some do have bio but after doing the course am more confident in the use off there products. I know it’s frustrating especially when standing by work you done but we carnt control all the factors nore predict everything.

Hi Jake, isn't there a much more expensive sand but for that I'd say way too expensive that has the chemical mixed in if I recall.... Pity it is down to drainage, lack of and pooling, there should be a fall off in all sections there to be honest.

What biocide are you applying post wash mate? also do you not offer a weed killing treatment a couple of weeks prior to cleaning? I’ve found that really helps with slowing the weeds down.
