Well as I said mine has been down for 17 years. We have never washed it or done anything to it, but it could do with it.

Maybe I should have given it a clean and then photographed it, but this is it tonight muck and all, compared to next doors brick paved drive, which has been down for 5 years. You can see the weeds and the dark between the bricks is moss. We frequently have to scrape the moss out of our brick paved patio, so I know which I prefer, but then I am a lazy mare :oops: :oops:

Next sunny day I think I shall be out there giving it a clean, I am a tad ashamed :oops:

This is a nicer photo of it and was taken a couple of years ago

Your house is very similar to ours when we lived in Swindon a few years back :) Your drive isn't too bad ;) :lol:

You can get a special membrane to put under the blocks to stop weeds growing through the cracks. Ask at a good garden centre or builders merchants.They will give you advice.
