1) Stop Weeds in Their Tracks
We’ve all been there. Taking care of weeds in our driveways is a literal back breaker. Whether it’s spending hours on our knees removing them by hand or using weed-killers which are harmful to both us and the environment, there just never seems to be a good solution to remove them. But what if we were able to prevent them from the start? Luckily, power washing your driveway can do just that! Not only does it kill all current weeds, but it also prevents new ones from growing for up to a year. A cleaning in the spring will bring the best results.
2) Stop Cracks in Their Place
Cracked driveways are also a common problem. Cracks form in our driveways as water seeps into the concrete and asphalt, freezes and then expands. This process repeats every year and as dirt and other debris enter the crack, it continues to grow in size. The only way to prevent cracks from growing larger is to remove this dirt and debris annually.
3) Safety
A driveway covered in algae, moss, or mildew is an accident waiting to happen. These growths cause our driveways to become incredibly slippery and hard to walk on. It’s important to remove these growths to ensure the safety of everyone in the home, especially for children and the elderly.
4) Remove Stains
More than likely there is a large stain on your driveway that has gone untouched for a long time. In fact, you may not even notice it anymore. These stains are often the result of leaves collecting on our driveways, where they leave tannins behind as they deteriorate. Though it may not seem like a big deal to you, it could be for a potential home buyer or renter. If you don’t plan to stay in your current home forever, it’s important to pay attention to these types of details if you ever plan to sell or rent out your property, which brings us to our last point…
5) Improve Curbside Appeal
If you’re like us, our homes are some of the biggest investments we’ll ever make, so it’s important that we maintain them thoroughly. Not only does cleaning your driveway solve all the problems listed above, but it also increases your property value and prevents costly repairs down the road, such as fixing the crack in your driveway. One service with Bayside can increase your property value upwards to 5-10 percent. Regular maintenance on the exterior of your home or building is the best way to build equity at a low cost.
