Maintaining Your York Shingle Surfaces

The best way to maintain gravel and shingle is to do a quick sweep of the area picking up litter. Be sure to wear gloves as some animals love to leave their droppings on gravel.

Once cleared of any litter a leaf blower is a fantastic way of removing lighter particles. Always have your back to buildings and vehicles and don’t go too close to the gravel if using powerful equipment!

Look for any shingle that has migrated to the surrounding areas, then sweep as much back as possible. Gravel can simply be topped up with the same style if necessary.
