Paver cleaning
in Rixensart
Terraces and clay-paver driveways stripped back properly, joints redone where needed, then a water-repellent treatment that keeps the colour and holds the moss off. In Rixensart (1330) this comes up regularly: The nearby woods keep everything damp: moss removal and gutter clearing come round more often here than elsewhere.

The context in Rixensart
Why here in particular
Between its castle, its woods and its residential streets, Rixensart has a varied building stock where the old sits alongside 1970s builds. In practice, being close to the woods keeps everything damp: moss removal and gutter clearing come round more often here than elsewhere.
A porous clay paver drinks up water, greens over on the shaded side and fills with moss in the joints. In winter the trapped water freezes and blows the surface apart.
