Please be kind.
I have done this all on my own and to be honest i am really proud 🙈
I do not do any DIY or anything handy, i cook & clean 😂
So here are my before & after pictures;
My husband is putting sand/grit? In between tomorrow




After




It had turned out better than I anticipated so i think we will keep it for now 👍🏻👍🏻

Well done, block pavers always look great after years of dirt have been removed, makes a big improvement.

It was really satisfying seeing the actual colour they were supposed to be 😂😂

Well done - they look really good - can I ask what method of cleaning you went for?

I put patio weed killer down last week then jet washed it today. I spent ages on each cobble because they were rather disgusting. But i did not use any actual cleaning products just a jet wash 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It was actually what Mr Tom Morrow advised on my earlier post 🤣🤣

Well done. I am so pleased you have done it.

I hate seeing people spend money when a bit of elbow grease will do the job. Really chuffed for you.

Edit. Get the sand down ASAP so they don't rock when you walk on them. You need kiln dried sand designed for pavers. Goes right into the gaps. Use a yard brush and just push it back and fore.

Thank you! And thank you for your advice, you probably saved us about £5k !
I certainly put elbow grease into it! I think i might suffer tomorrow 😂😂
I am so happy with myself. I should have took a photo of myself! I was covered head to toe in muddy splashes 🙈
