Context piece
- Homeowners are advised to inspect courtyard paving stones before winter rather than stopping at leaf removal and cleaning.
- Washed-out joints, sunken or raised stones and persistent puddles may indicate damage that frost will intensify.
Autumn courtyard maintenance often ends after leaves are swept away and dirt is washed off. But paving stones deserve a closer inspection before winter arrives.
Washed-out joints, a slight depression or a spot where water regularly collects after rain can point to a problem that winter frost will make more visible.
One of the first things to check is whether the stones are moving. Sunken or raised paving stones may indicate that the surface needs attention before the colder months.
