Lake City Pressure Washing (Driveways, Patios, Fences) Services
Let’s be honest, algae-covered steps and streaky driveways just don’t cut it anymore! Here at Neat & Tidy, we specialize in bringing your concrete, pavers, and wood fences back to life. With our expert methods of proper pretreatments, rotary surface cleaners, and gentle soft-wash techniques, you’ll enjoy surfaces that not only look great but also stand the test of time—without any risk of damage.
What’s the Problem?
Is your property facing any of the following issues?
- Slippery green/black algae and moss making your walks unsafe
- Stubborn oil, rust, and leaf stains that a regular garden hose just can’t tackle
- Paver surfaces with white haze, missing joint sand, and uneven “tiger stripes” from DIY attempts
- Weathered, gray fences marred by blotchy cleaning 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 kick things off with a special solution that targets algae and oil stains.
- Cleaning: Our rotary surface cleaner ensures an even wash across the entire surface.
- Post-Treatment: We finish with a treatment designed to slow regrowth, keeping your surfaces cleaner for longer.
- For those tough oil stains, we offer a hot-water cleaning option, along with rust and leaf-tannin spot treatments.
Paver Patios & Paths
- Algae Pretreatment: We start with a pretreatment specifically for algae.
- Gentle Cleaning: Using low to medium pressure with a wide fan and surface cleaner, we protect the joints while ensuring a deep clean.
- Sealing Options: Once everything’s dry, we can provide polymeric re-sand and seal services to lock in joints and enhance color.
Wood Fences (and Select Wood Gates/Decks)
- Soft-Wash Process: We use 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 visit.
Remember, we do not high-pressure wash roofs or blast wood or mortar. If a method poses a risk of damage, we switch to soft-wash or let you know it’s a no-go.
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: Using 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 needed.
- Drain & Debris Tidy: We clear curb lines and inlets after cleaning.
Our mission is to be your low-maintenance landscaping crew, minimizing problems between visits and reducing your workload.
Service Cadences
- Quarterly: Perfect for spring/fall resets and two slip-safety checks during storm season.
- Bi-Monthly: Ideal for properties under large trees, in shady areas, or with heavy foot traffic.
