Decks & Patios
What We Clean
Wood decks. Soft wash or pressure, depending on how far the growth has gone. We decide at the estimate.
Concrete patios and pool decks. We pre-treat the concrete, then clean it with a surface cleaner for one even finish, with no stripes or arcs left behind.
Paver patios. Pavers aren't cleaned like concrete. High pressure blows the joint sand out from between them, which leads to weeds, ants and shifting stones. Paver patios get cleaned, re-sanded and sealed. See our paver sealing page.
Screen enclosures and pool cages. A separate service that pairs well with a patio or pool deck cleaning.
Why Decks and Patios Go Green in Jacksonville
Jacksonville's humidity, regular rain and shade from trees and overhangs keep outdoor surfaces damp for long stretches. Damp wood and concrete are exactly where algae, mold and mildew take hold. Shaded corners, spots under trees and anywhere water sits after a storm usually go green first.
On a deck or patio that growth is slick underfoot, and a hose won't take it off.
Our Process, Step by Step
1. Walk-through
We check the surface, the growth, and anything nearby that needs protecting.
2. Choose the right method
Soft wash for surfaces that can't take pressure, a surface cleaner for hard concrete, and a clean, re-sand and seal for pavers.
3. Treat the growth
We apply a cleaning solution and let it dwell long enough to kill the algae, mold and mildew at the root, instead of just knocking the top layer off.
4. Clean and rinse
Then we clean the surface and rinse everything down, including any landscaping nearby.
We use your outdoor spigot for water, so there's nothing to arrange ahead of time.
Deck and Patio Cleaning FAQ
How often should a deck or patio be cleaned?
Once a year works for most Jacksonville homes. Shaded decks, patios under trees and anything near water may need it sooner.
Is it safe for my plants and pets?
We rinse landscaping before and after, so nothing sits on the leaves. We'd ask you to keep pets inside while we work and until everything has been rinsed down.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the deck or patio and how much growth we're dealing with. We'll give you a time frame at the estimate.
Do you soft wash or pressure wash?
Whichever the surface calls for. Soft washing uses almost no pressure and lets the cleaning solution do the work. Pressure with a surface cleaner is right for concrete. Pavers get cleaned, re-sanded and sealed.
