If you have a patio in your outdoor space you will know that over time it starts to look dirty as there is a build-up of dirt and debris which is not washed away by the rain. Cleaning the patio can be hard work but you can make the task easier by using a pressure washer which will achieve a much better result than simply cleaning it by using a hosepipe and a broom. However, pressure washing will only remove a certain amount of dirt; if it has become ingrained, or if the patio itself has become damaged, you may simply need to accept that you need a replace the patio with a new one. This can transform your outdoor space and garden but will obviously have cost implications, but the result may make the process worthwhile.
While you are replacing the patio it is a good time to carry out any other changes you may want such as extending the patio area to give additional seating and entertaining space, installing lighting around the garden or putting in outdoor sockets. Planning out the new patio area keeping in mind the way you and your family use the area is a sensible idea before you embark on major work.
