The joints in paving are generally filled with sand, which allow the surface to drain
over the whole area rather than just in channels and drains.
This drainage is compromised when organic matter contaminates the infill material.
This not only restricts the drainage capacity of the surface but also retains
moisture in the filling material. This prolonged moisture
retention and organic material provides ideal conditions for moss and algae to
flourish. This can result in dangerous slippery conditions and produce an
unpleasant odour. In extreme cases the algae can cause puddles leaving a thick
black sticky residue that can solidify when the surface does eventually dry out.
Because the gap between the block allows for it, in many cases other weeds,
may appear and cause further damage to the surface rendering it unusable and
even dangerous.
Using the Kersten range of sweeping equipment and WeedBrushes can effectively
control this situation and maintain the surface in the intended condition.
