Patio & Paver Cleaning
Pavers and patios clean up beautifully — but only if the joint sand survives the process. We clean at the right pressure to lift the grime without blowing out the joints. Text a photo for a flat-rate quote.
The thing most people get wrong with pavers
Pavers have sand-filled joints that hold the whole surface together. Aggressive high pressure erodes that joint sand, which leads to shifting, weeds, and uneven pavers. The right approach uses a controlled, even pressure that lifts algae and grime out of the surface without stripping the joints — and re-sanding afterward where it's needed.
What we clean off
Patios and walkways collect green algae and black mildew (the same organisms as on siding), moss in the shaded joints, and general grime. Brick and natural stone respond well to a proper cleaning. One thing to know: efflorescence — the chalky white mineral bloom that surfaces on brick and pavers — is a mineral issue, not dirt, and it needs a specific treatment rather than pressure. If you're seeing white haze, send a photo and we'll tell you what it actually is.
A note on sealing
Polymeric joint sand and paver sealing extend results and lock the joints, but sealing is not part of our standard cleaning service. We'll clean it properly and tell you honestly whether sealing is worth it for your patio.
Patio & Paver Cleaning questions
Will pressure washing ruin my pavers?
It can, if it's done with too much pressure — aggressive washing erodes the joint sand that holds pavers in place. Done correctly, at controlled pressure with re-sanding where needed, paver cleaning is safe and effective.
What is the white powder on my brick patio?
That's efflorescence — minerals migrating to the surface and drying as a white bloom. It's not dirt and won't pressure-wash off; it needs a specific treatment. Send a photo and we'll confirm what it is.
