Want to block this drain hole from all the sand that will wash into it when I pressure wash block paving that leads down to it. What will let the water go in but not the sand and dirt etc?

Cover pot with old sock after drilling a few holes in it, fill with shingle and jam in hole , will let the water thru. Jet washing block paving is not a good idea.

I guess by 'pot' you're referring to my plant pot in picture?

I heard that using pressure washing on block paving isn't good as it blasts out the sand but I also heard it was ok. Just not sure. What other way is there? Most people I spoke to, do it this way.

As I do this on a block of flats and work through a property management company i am worried about getting sued. I was asked to do it though by guy who lives there and have texts to confirm this

Removing the sand lossens the blocks, unless you intend to resand after any clean.
