Use and Maintenance With proper use and maintenance you can enjoy this new addition to your landscape for years to come. Column Maintenance: • Make sure proper drainage is allowed at the base of the column. Proper drainage allows any water that gets into the core a way escape so it doesn’t build up, seep through the gaps or crack blocks. • Concrete blocks can be cleaned with a gentle spray from a hose.
