The weather outside is always gorgeous in Sarasota, giving homeowners optimal conditions for hosting parties and gatherings on the back patio. This, of course, means that you’d want to keep your patio in top condition to accommodate lots of people. We’ll show you some patio upkeep habits that’ll eliminate any potential for embarrassment when you decide to have friends over this fall.

Keep All the Debris Away

This is the obvious starting point because you don't want your patio to become a dumping ground for tree branches, leaves, pine needles, and other loose landscaping. You might prevent the problem by repositioning trees and bushes, but it usually comes down to sweeping, hosing, or leaf blowing once in a while. This is a basic measure, but it won’t address issues like cracks, algae, or other concrete problems.

Spruce Up Your Patio with Lights & Decorations

There are plenty of ways to jazz up your patio with LED lights, tiki torches, potted plants, an outdoor sound system, or a small fire pit. Outdoor lighting has gotten more sophisticated in recent years. However, you don’t have to pay a fortune when you can just grab a few strands of white lights and run them overhead or along bushes and trees. It’s an easy way to enhance the mood in your backyard.

Get Some Pressure Washing

Pressure washing is one of our core competencies and it's in high demand in Florida because of all the humidity and corresponding bacterial growth. It’s a great way to get rid of unsightly black mold, algae, and other foreign substances. This will enhance your home’s curb appeal, eliminate something unhealthy you don’t want to inhale, and extend the life of your patio concrete.

Get Paver Cleaning

Some patio material requires a slower and low-pressure cleaning to address problems. Paver Cleaning is a great way to clean expensive stone or concrete without leaving streaks or stains. We can clean and seal patio concrete, leaving you with a pristine exterior surface that others will marvel.

We think these are the best ways to make your patio the best possible place to host guests and ensure an awesome outdoor ambiance.
