After a bitterly cold winter, we’ve almost made it to springtime, when warmer weather and more daylight hours are upon us. Springtime allows us to complete outdoor home projects, including staining the deck, cleaning the gutters, pressure washing to remove winter’s grime, and getting the patio/deck ready for spring.
Fall and winter leave behind leaves, dirt, and other grime that can make our patios look dingy, creating an eyesore for upcoming events that we’re hosting. From hosting neighbors for backyard games, friends and family for birthdays, graduations, and backyard barbecues, our patios/decks need to be in great shape for hosting neighbors, family, friends, and for your family to enjoy your outdoor space. Continue reading for some spring cleaning tips for your patio/deck to get it ready for springtime so you can make your hosting dreams come true!
Spring Cleaning Tips for Getting Your Deck/Patio Ready
Backyard patios and decks are an outdoor oasis that lets us unwind, relax, and enjoy the beautiful weather and sunshine. Whether you have a pool, deck, patio furniture, fire pit, or hot tub, keeping your space safe and clean for your guests is paramount for safety. Below are some tips for getting your deck/patio ready for spring:
Clean Your Deck/Patio
The first of our spring cleaning tips to get your patio/deck ready for spring is to clean your outdoor space. Whether you have patio pavers or a concrete slab, clean the concrete by pressure washing or scrubbing the pavement. Likewise, if you have patio furniture that wasn’t covered during the winter months, a grill, a hot tub on concrete, decor, or other outdoor items on your patio, scrub them clean to remove dirt and grime. Cleaning your deck/patio is a great start to transform your outdoor space for spring.
Refresh Your Space
If you’ve cleaned your deck or patio and it still looks a bit dingy or bland, consider refreshing your space by adding in some new decor, furniture, or pops of color to your outdoor oasis. Making inexpensive upgrades like adding throw pillows to your patio furniture, adding lanterns, string lights, and backyard games can make it feel fresh.
Inspect & Repair Damage
It’s always a great idea to inspect your outdoor space each season to ensure nothing is damaged or needs repairing or replacing. Check for loose hardware on furniture, rough spots on decks, worn stain/paint, and uneven or unlevel concrete. Concrete patios often have steps or spaces between slabs that can wear down, especially if they’re exposed to the elements. If you notice any damage, get it repaired as soon as possible to ensure everything looks good and is safe for your guests and family members.
Get Your Concrete Leveled
After inspecting your patio or deck, have you noticed any unlevel concrete steps, sunken slabs, or cracks? If so, you’ll want to get your concrete leveled before you host guests or allow your loved ones on the concrete; unlevel concrete is a risk for serious injury as gaps in the concrete and uneven spots can cause people—especially young children, the elderly, and those with mobility issues—to trip as their foot gets caught in between the gaps or uneven spots. You’ll want to get any unlevel concrete repaired, especially concrete steps, the pool deck, or an unlevel hot tub on concrete.
If you are getting your concrete leveled, skip a DIY concrete leveling attempt and mudjacking and trust the pros at Pro Polyjacking to get the job done right. We have decades of experience repairing concrete for homeowners and business owners in the greater Kansas City area.
Why Polyjacking?
Polyjacking is a concrete leveling method that lifts sunken concrete and repairs cracks by raising the concrete back to its original position. Unlike mudjacking and other concrete leveling techniques, polyjacking offers a clean and efficient way to restore sunken concrete without the disruption of traditional repair methods. Using a durable, lightweight polyurethane foam injected beneath the slab, the concrete is gently raised and stabilized, and we often complete the job in a few hours with minimal downtime.
Polyjacking is the most permanent concrete leveling solution, lasting much longer than other methods like mudjacking. Its longevity can’t be beat, stabilizing the soil and concrete with zero structural compromise. Mudjacking requires frequent maintenance because it relies on the underlying soils for stability, which can be damaged or washed away by water exposure and severe weather conditions.
