Seattle Pressure Washing (Driveways, Patios, Fences) Services
Let’s face it, algae-slick steps and zebra-striped driveways just aren’t cutting it. At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in transforming your concrete, pavers, and wood fences into pristine surfaces. With our approach of proper pretreatments, rotary surface cleaners, and soft-wash techniques, you’ll get a flawless finish that looks great and lasts longer—without the risk of damage.
We proudly serve the wonderful neighborhoods of Admiral, Alaska Junction, Alki, Fauntleroy, Arbor Heights, Delridge, Gatewood, High Point, Morgan Junction, and Roxhill.
What’s the Problem?
Is your property facing any of these issues?
- Green/black algae and moss making your walks slippery and unsafe
- Stubborn oil/rust/leaf stains and tire tracks that refuse to budge with a regular garden hose
- Paver surfaces showing white haze, missing joint sand, and uneven “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 solution to tackle algae and oil stains.
- Cleaning: Using a rotary surface cleaner, we ensure an even wash across the surface.
- Post-Treatment: We finish off with a treatment that slows regrowth, keeping your surfaces cleaner for longer.
- For those stubborn oil stains, we offer a hot-water cleaning option. Rust and leaf-tannin spot treatments are also available.
Paver Patios & Paths
- Algae Pretreatment: We start by applying a pretreatment to combat algae growth.
- Gentle Cleaning: Using low/medium pressure with a wide fan and surface cleaner, we protect the joints and ensure a deep clean.
- Sealing Options: Once dried, we can provide polymeric re-sand and seal services to lock 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: If you have cedar or redwood, we offer an oxalic brighten treatment, and we can schedule staining/sealing on a separate scope.
Remember, we do not high-pressure wash roofs nor will we blast wood or mortar. If a method risks damage, we pivot to soft-wash or will tell you straight that 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 prevent regrowth.
- 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 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 big trees, in shady areas, or with heavy foot traffic.
