South Center Pressure Washing (Driveways, Patios, Fences) Services

Is your outdoor space in need of a refresh? At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in transforming your concrete, pavers, and wood fences into pristine surfaces that enhance safety and curb appeal. With our careful approach using pretreatments, rotary surface cleaners, and soft-wash techniques, you’ll enjoy a flawless finish that not only looks great but lasts longer.


What’s the Problem?

Here are some common issues South Center property owners face:

  • Green/black algae and moss making sidewalks and driveways slippery
  • Stubborn oil, rust, or leaf stains that resist standard cleaning methods
  • Paver surfaces with white haze, missing joint sand, and uneven cleaning from DIY efforts
  • Weathered, gray fences that suffer from blotchy clean spots after high-pressure washing

What We Clean (and How We Do It)

Concrete & Exposed Aggregate (Driveways, Walks, Patios)

  1. Pretreatment: We apply a solution to target algae and oil stains.
  2. Cleaning: Using a rotary surface cleaner, we achieve an even wash.
  3. Post-Treatment: A treatment slows regrowth, keeping your surfaces cleaner for longer.
  • For stubborn oil stains, we offer hot-water cleaning and spot treatments for rust and leaf tannins.

Paver Patios & Paths

  1. Algae Pretreatment: We start with a pretreatment to combat algae growth.
  2. Gentle Cleaning: Using low/medium pressure with a wide fan and surface cleaner to protect joints.
  3. Sealing Options: After drying, we can provide polymeric re-sand and seal services to lock joints and enhance color.

Wood Fences (and Select Wood Gates/Decks)

  1. Soft-Wash Process: We employ a low-pressure soft-wash technique with wood-safe detergent.
  2. Optional Brightening: For cedar or redwood, we offer an oxalic brighten treatment and can schedule staining/sealing afterward.

We do not high-pressure wash roofs or blast wood or mortar. If a method risks damage, we pivot to soft-wash or provide honest recommendations.


Our Annual Maintenance Plan

Keep your surfaces looking their best with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:

  • Moss/Algae Control: Seasonal pretreatments to prevent regrowth.
  • Even-Finish Washes: Rotary cleaning for a consistent look.
  • Joint Care: Inspection of paver joints, re-sanding, and sealing.
  • Fence Refresh: Gentle washing with scheduled staining/sealing.
  • Drain & Debris Tidy: We clear curb lines and inlets after cleaning.

Our goal is to be your low-maintenance landscaping crew, minimizing problems and reducing your workload.


Service Cadences

  • Quarterly: Ideal for seasonal resets and slip-safety checks.
  • Bi-Monthly: Great for properties under large trees or with heavy foot traffic.

What Annual Maintenance Includes

  • Tailored pretreat and dwell times based on specific stains (algae, oil, rust, tannin).
  • Rotary surface cleaning for flatwork; soft-wash for wood surfaces.
  • Rinse management to prevent fines from settling in garden beds and joints.
  • Optional paver re-sand & seal (after proper drying).
  • Final rinse, edge sweep, and a walkthrough with notes for your peace of mind.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

  • Slip Safety: Keep algae at bay on shaded areas.
  • Extended Surface Life: Prevent etching and joint loss.
  • Enhanced Curb Appeal: Enjoy a clean, stripe-free finish.
  • Cost-Effective: Regular cleanings are cheaper than major recoveries.

How It Works

  1. Free Estimate: Send us photos or schedule a walkthrough for upfront pricing.
  2. Schedule: Choose a cleaning cadence or opt for a one-time clean.
  3. Service Day: We protect your plants, pretreat surfaces, clean, post-treat, and tidy edges.
  4. Follow-Up: We provide care tips and options for paver re-sanding/sealing.
