Answers: How do I renovate and clean an old backyard patio?

• Patio pressure washing
• Exposed aggregate concrete sealing
• DIY cedar planter box build
• Backyard landscaping
• Building wooden patio steps
• Installing landscape lighting
• Smokeless fire pit setup

What it concludes

• A gas-powered pressure washer provides significantly more power to blast through mortar and grime compared to smaller units.
• Using a zero-degree pressure washer tip is highly effective for breaking up stubborn mortar chunks on aggregate concrete.
• A surface cleaner attachment helps prevent streaks and maintains a consistent distance between the spray head and the surface.
• Wood glue is stronger than the wood itself, and brad nails are used simply to hold the glue set while drying.
• Building custom cedar planter boxes with a center pole provides an affordable and sturdy way to hang string lights without a dedicated pergola.
• Retractable garden hose reels provide a convenient and tidy water source that automatically retracts when finished.
