Moss growth and empty spaces. #paverpatio #hardscape
What happens here
Begin by walking across your paver patio and visually inspecting the joints between each paver. Pay close attention to areas where moss, small weeds, or other types of vegetation are growing. The video demonstrates that even if a patio was installed several years ago and is holding up well structurally, the presence of vegetation is a primary indicator. This growth occurs because airborne dirt and organic matter settle into the crevices where jointing sand has eroded, creating a fertile environment for plants to take root.
Goal: Identify any moss, weeds, or vegetation growing in paver joints
