Removing Acer leaf staining from sandstone

Posted by Keith Barker on October 13, 2012 at 12:25pm

Hi all,

We designed a garden which has been constructed in Devon, and our client is having problems with Acer leaves staining the Bradstone Polished Sandstone paving. The landscaper sealed the slabs prior to laying.

Does anyone have any tips on removing the staining, and/or a treatment for the slabs which will prevent this hapenning in the future?

    Has the stain been trapped under the sealant??

    Thanks both. I'll pass on the link.


    I was told the slabs were sealed before laying, so I don't think it can have been. All I have to go on is the client's email.

    Keith, are you sure it's actually staining and not black lichen (which looks nothing like your regular old tree lichen)? Indian sandstone is very prone to being disfigured by this especially when leaves are left standing on it for a while
