Revitalize Your Existing Curb

Many Homeowners don't realize that curbing is an investment, and like any investment requires a little maintenance. Each year, you should clean your curb with bleach and water to keep mold and mildew at bay. You may need to reseal your curb at this time. Sealing your curb creates a barrier from the elements and reduces the amount of mold and mildew that builds up over time.

Occasionally, too much time passes between maintenance and homeowners become disgruntled with the appearance of their curbing. No worries! Your curb can easily be revitalized, bringing new life and a fresh look to your landscape.

First, never use a power washer on your curb. The force can damage the face of your curb. Instead, use an environmentally friendly cleaner (such as Simple Green) and water combination and a scrub brush. Lightly scrub off the mildew and mold and then rinse off with your hose. Finally, use a quality concrete sealer to reseal your curb. Some sealers are even tinted.
