Burien Power washing plaza walkways
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien walkways take a beating from frequent rain, tall evergreens, and shaded corners that encourage moss and mildew. Heavy foot traffic in plazas, rental properties, and shared entries compacts organic debris and makes surfaces slippery and unattractive. Slopes and poor drainage at some properties trap moisture, while clay-loam soils can splash and stain concrete and pavers after storms. Owners and landlords typically want safe, low-maintenance walkways that look welcoming year-round without repeated spot‑treatments. Sustainable cleaning methods that limit runoff and use biodegradable cleaners protect planting beds and nearby storm drains. Practical maintenance reduces liability from slips, keeps renters and visitors satisfied, and preserves material life so you replace surfaces less often. If your property is near Seahurst Park or the Normandy Park corridor, similar microclimates mean you’ll see the same moss and algae patterns and benefit from a tailored cleaning plan.
Our Quality Service
We assess surfaces and drainage first, then clean using calibrated pressure and biodegradable cleaners to remove algae, grime, and stains. On slopes and porous pavers we use lower pressure and agitation tools to protect the surface while restoring traction. We manage runoff with containment and capture where needed and avoid herbicides or harsh chemicals, focusing on sustainable methods that are safe for plants and pets. Benefits include improved safety, boosted curb appeal, reduced long‑term maintenance, and longer surface life through careful, professional cleaning.

- Planting to edge walkways for better runoff control
- Fabric installation to reduce future weed growth
- Choice of haul-away versus green bin disposal
Before & After / Expectations
Expect immediate visual improvement after cleaning and reduced slipperiness on treated areas. Moss and shallow root growth may need follow-up tune-ups; we recommend seasonal checks in spring and late fall. For ongoing care, sweep high-traffic zones weekly, keep drains clear, and prune overhanging branches to increase sun and air flow that discourage regrowth.
FAQs
- How long does a job take? Small plaza sections often finish the same day; larger or heavily stained areas may need a return visit for deep stains.
- Do you use herbicides? No — we use biodegradable, non‑toxic cleaners and mechanical removal to avoid chemical treatments.
- Will power washing damage pavers or brick? We match pressure and technique to the material to avoid etching or displacement.
- Do you handle runoff? Yes — we contain and capture runoff when needed and recommend green bin or haul-away disposal options.
