USE & 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 each column. Proper drainage allows any water that may get 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.
