What’s the Problem?
Is your property dealing with any of these pesky issues?
- Slippery green/black algae and moss on your pathways
- Stubborn oil, rust, and leaf stains that just won’t budge with a regular garden hose
- Paver surfaces sporting white haze, missing joint sand, and those annoying “tiger stripes” from DIY attempts
- Weathered wood fences with blotchy clean spots from high-pressure washing that causes more harm than good
What We Clean (and How We Do It)
Concrete & Exposed Aggregate (Driveways, Walks, Patios)
- Pretreatment: We kick things off with a specialized solution to tackle those pesky algae and oil stains.
- Cleaning: Our trusty rotary surface cleaner ensures a thorough and even wash across the entire surface.
- Post-Treatment: We wrap things up with a treatment that helps prevent regrowth, keeping your surfaces cleaner for longer.
- Got stubborn oil stains? No problem! We offer a hot-water cleaning option, and we can tackle rust and leaf-tannin spots too.
Paver Patios & Paths
- Algae Pretreatment: We begin by applying a pretreatment to tackle algae growth effectively.
- Gentle Cleaning: We use low to medium pressure with a wide fan and surface cleaner, ensuring we protect the joints while giving a deep clean.
- Sealing Options: Once everything is dried out, we can provide polymeric re-sand and seal services to lock in those joints and enhance the color.
Wood Fences (and Select Wood Gates/Decks)
- Soft-Wash Process: We opt for a gentle low-pressure soft-wash technique using a wood-safe detergent to clean your fence.
- Optional Brightening: If you have cedar or redwood, we can offer an oxalic brighten treatment, and we can schedule additional staining/sealing as needed.
Just a heads up: we do not high-pressure wash roofs nor will we blast wood or mortar. If a method could risk damage, we’ll pivot to soft-wash or let you know it’s a no-go.
Our Annual Maintenance Plan
We believe in keeping your surfaces looking their best with our annual maintenance plan that includes:
- Moss/Algae Control: Seasonal pretreatments to keep regrowth at bay.
- Even-Finish Washes: Say goodbye to stripey wand jobs with our rotary cleaning on concrete and pavers.
- Joint Care: Inspection of paver joints, re-sanding, and optional sealing.
- Fence Refresh: Gentle washing and a schedule for staining/sealing as needed.
- Drain & Debris Tidy: Clearing curb lines and inlets after cleaning.
Our mission is to be your low-maintenance landscaping crew, minimizing problems between visits and easing your workload.
Service Cadences
- Quarterly: Perfect for spring/fall resets and two slip-safety checks during the stormy season.
- Bi-Monthly: Ideal for properties under large trees, in shady areas, or with lots of foot traffic.
