Winter can be hard on your driveway. Cold temperatures can make many surfacing materials brittle and snow and ice can create and enlarge cracks and holes. But there are plenty of things you can do to avoid these problems. Try these 6 tips to prepare your driveway for winter.<\/p>\n

1. Keep it clean and free from moss<\/h3>\n

How to get rid of moss on driveway? And can you jet wash driveways in winter? Are a couple of the questions that we often get asked. One of the best things you can do to prepare your driveway for winter is keep it clean. In fact, this is something that\u2019s worth doing the whole year round. Regularly removing leaves, mud and other debris from your driveway will stop it getting slippery or developing plant growth that could cause damage. Removing the buildup of moss using a jet wash rather than chemicals is a great way to get rid of moss on driveway naturally. Cleaning you driveway can be done by hand but many people prefer to get a local driveway cleaning specialist<\/a> in so that the work can be completed to the highest standards and ensure it’s looking great for spring<\/p>\n

2. Make sure it has adequate drainage<\/h3>\n

Another thing to check on as the months get colder is your driveway\u2019s drainage. Make sure that water doesn\u2019t run down your drive or collect on it. If you do have water on your driveway, in a cold spell it can turn to ice and expand, creating or enlarging cracks or holes. Take a look at our article on driveway drainage<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n

3. Seal it<\/h3>\n

Sealing is an excellent way to prepare your asphalt or concrete driveway for winter. Sealing is usually done approximately once every two years, so take the time to check when it was last done. Sealants coat your driveway in a protective layer, filling in holes and reducing damage from heavy traffic. Sealing your driveway makes it more resistance to stains and oil spills.<\/p>\n

4. Be prepared to remove ice and snow<\/h3>\n

While you\u2019ve got time, make sure you\u2019ve got the equipment and space you need to remove ice and snow if it turns up on your driveway. To stop melting and refreezing snow and ice damaging your driveway, you\u2019ll need to remove it as soon as you can. A sturdy shovel should do the trick, but make sure it\u2019s a size and weight you can cope with, especially when it\u2019s loaded up with heavy snow.<\/p>\n

5. Avoid chemicals<\/h3>\n

Although it might be tempting, avoid stocking up on de-icing chemicals in the build-up to winter. Although these will effectively remove snow and ice from your drive, they\u2019ll also damage it. Instead, once you\u2019ve removed snow and ice with a shovel, try laying down sand to increase traction.<\/p>\n

6. Do your repair work now<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve got any gaping holes or cracks in your driveway, winter weather and temperatures will only make them worse. Plus, you could damage your vehicle if you go down any potholes when they\u2019re hidden by the snow. Repairing your driveway before it gets really cold could prevent further damage and save you money in the long run.<\/p>\n
