🧱 Driveway Maintenance Ipswich – Tips for Long-Lasting Kerb Appeal

Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they approach your property. A clean, safe, and well-maintained surface doesn’t just boost kerb appeal — it protects your investment and prevents costly repairs.
At UK Paving And Brickwork, we specialise in driveway installations and maintenance across Ipswich, Woodbridge, Kesgrave and the surrounding areas. Here’s how to keep your driveway looking sharp and performing at its best all year round.

🧼 Why Driveway Maintenance Matters

Neglecting your driveway leads to damage, safety issues and loss of value. Here's what can go wrong if you don't stay on top of it:

Cracks and Potholes
Damage worsens over time and becomes a trip hazard or an eyesore.

Weed Growth
Unwanted plants break through joints and spoil the look of your block paving.

Stains
Oil, grease, and dirt build up fast if not removed.

Uneven Surfaces
Sinking or shifting blocks make it hard to walk, drive, or park.

Drainage Problems
Blocked channels cause puddling and potential water damage near your home.

🧽 Top Tips to Maintain Your Driveway

Regular Cleaning
Brush away leaves, dirt and moss weekly. Pressure wash occasionally to restore the surface colour.

Weed Control
Apply a weed killer or pull them up before they spread through joints.

Crack & Pothole Repairs
Use suitable filler or sealant to fix cracks before they expand.

Remove Oil Stains
Apply absorbent material like kitty litter, then scrub with detergent and water.

Resealing
Depending on your surface, reseal every 2–3 years to protect from rain, frost and UV.

Regular Inspections
Walk your driveway monthly to spot early signs of wear or damage.

Drainage Checks
Clear your drains and gullies regularly. Make sure the fall still guides water away properly.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Use mild cleaning products only — avoid anything that eats into stone or harms nearby plants.

Snow & Ice in Winter
Use de-icer or rock salt, but avoid metal shovels that can damage block paving.
