So pull them out, put them onto a concrete pad or driveway, take out your power washer, and start washing them. You can even take a scrub brush with some Dawn detergent to get the tough dirt off of them. You might be surprised that’s something as easy as power washing him will turn those bricks into looking like new.

 

To establish a perimeter of where your edging stones are going to go, use a string tied around the tree and onto marking spray paint. Just go around the tree; that way it looks even. This will tell you where all your edging stones need to go back in.

When laying edging stones the key is to have a nice flat surface. It’s a pretty simple process but it can be a little time-consuming. A rubber mallet comes in handy to convince them to go into the right place. As I’ve said, it can take a little bit of time, but it really looks good in the end. You can also put a second layer of bricks on top of the first layer. That way, it really pops out, and you can add more mulch around the tree.

If you’re cleaning up the edging and making it all look even, you should also do weed control and mulch. The harsh winters in Lenexa can really do a number on your mulch.

The first thing is to pull up the weed barrier and get rid of all the old dirty mulch. We always recommend starting fresh.We find it easiest to rake all the old mulch and debris into a pile. Then we use a quick pick up into a 5-gallon bucket to discard into the recycle container.

We use a fabric weed blocker underneath the mulch. We typically cut it oversized then use stakes to keep it attached to the ground. Then we go back and cut the excess off that won’t be covered by the mulch with some scissors.Now it’s time to put mulch down. Which is fairly simple, open the bag and dump it out and then spread it evenly over the fabric.

Another simple thing you can do is pressure washing. Even if your house doesn’t look like it needs pressure washing, believe us it does.

With vinyl siding, it’s pretty easy to get the dirt and grime off without damaging anything. If you have a wood siding or paint, that’s peeling be extra careful because it could damage the wood or remove the paint.

Where you're really going to see the difference when power washing is on your concrete, your concrete may not look dirty, but once you start pressure washing it, you can see all the dirt come off.

You can rent a pressure washer from your home improvement store for probably $50 a day. It should only take you a few hours to do a driveway and sidewalk. Another few hours to do your house depending on the size and if it’s a two-story or a ranch. You will really be surprised after you see the end product from pressure washing.
