I like rustic. but I also like tidiness. I cleaned our carpet last week. and the upholstery. I raked droppings under my trees and or mowed the leaves on the lawn over raking them because it makes a great mulch. But I dont have a home anymore. we have ground keepers here. I miss yard work because it keeps you fit. they dont have a community garden here just HOA bullshit.
I would of used a weed Wacker to remove the weeds growing in the concrete cracks (separation lines) but blasting it with a chemical or power wash is not something I would do. but the driveway I would. that i use muriatic and a broom, water gun to clean all the oil spills out.
sidewalks last longer if you don't power wash them so much. it will crack them over time. even with that sealer.
