Brick patios are a wonderful feature for your home. But maintaining them is important with the hot summers and cold winters we have in the Milwaukee and Mequon areas.
Bricks can crack from the water they absorb causing them to crack, salt isn’t the greatest either, adding to the water going into the bricks and it can also cause deterioration in the bricks. Sealing the bricks with a water based sealer can be effective in keeping water and weeds from invading your brick patio. Fix the cracked bricks and powerwash for a clean area. Spray them with 2 coats of water based sealer and you will notice that the weeds will be held at bay and the bricks wont fade as quickly. If your bricks are already faded and powerwashing didn’t help, you can find sealant with a color tint to bring back some color.
