Kent Pressure Washing (Driveways, Patios, Fences) Services
Let’s be honest: algae-coated steps and streaky driveways just don’t cut it. At Neat & Tidy, we’re your go-to team for transforming concrete, pavers, and wood fences into sparkling clean surfaces. Using our unique blend of proper pretreatments, rotary surface cleaners, and soft-wash techniques, we ensure a flawless finish that not only looks amazing but lasts longer—without risking damage to your surfaces.
What’s the Problem?
Is your property dealing with any of these headaches?
- Slippery green/black algae and moss making your walks unsafe
- Stubborn oil, rust, or leaf stains that regular garden hoses can’t budge
- Paver surfaces marred by white haze, missing joint sand, or unsightly “tiger stripes” from DIY attempts
- Weathered, gray fences with blotchy clean spots from high-pressure blasts that do more harm than good
What We Clean (and How We Do It)
Concrete & Exposed Aggregate (Driveways, Walks, Patios)
- Pretreatment: We apply a specially formulated solution to break down algae and oil stains.
- Cleaning: Utilizing a rotary surface cleaner, we provide an even wash that leaves no corner untouched.
- Post-Treatment: We apply a treatment that slows down regrowth, so your surfaces stay cleaner longer.
- For those pesky oil stains, we can also offer a hot-water cleaning option. Rust and leaf-tannin spot treatments are available too!
Paver Patios & Paths
- Algae Pretreatment: We start with a pretreatment to combat algae growth effectively.
- Gentle Cleaning: Using low to medium pressure with a wide fan and surface cleaner, we safeguard the joints and ensure a deep clean.
- Sealing Options: Once dried, we can provide polymeric re-sand and seal services to lock in joints and enhance colors.
Wood Fences (and Select Wood Gates/Decks)
- Soft-Wash Process: We utilize a low-pressure soft-wash technique with a wood-safe detergent to gently clean your fence.
- Optional Brightening: For cedar or redwood, we offer an oxalic brighten treatment, and we can schedule staining/sealing on a separate scope.
Just a note: we do not high-pressure wash roofs, nor do we blast wood or mortar. If a method poses a risk of damage, we shift to soft-wash or kindly explain why it’s not an option.
Our Annual Maintenance Plan
We believe in keeping your surfaces looking sharp with our annual maintenance plan that includes:
- Moss/Algae Control: Seasonal pretreatments to keep regrowth at bay.
- Even-Finish Washes: We use rotary cleaning on concrete and pavers to avoid those dreaded stripy wand jobs.
- Joint Care: Inspection of paver joints, re-sanding, and optional sealing.
- Fence Refresh: Gentle washing with a schedule for staining/sealing as necessary.
- Drain & Debris Tidy: We clear curb lines and inlets after cleaning.
Our mission? To be your low-maintenance landscaping crew, minimizing issues between visits and lightening your workload.
Service Cadences
- Quarterly: Ideal for spring/fall resets and two slip-safety checks during storm season.
- Bi-Monthly: Perfect for properties shaded by large trees or with heavy foot traffic.
