Patio Pressure Washing Process

How We Clean Without Damaging

First, we assess your specific surfaces—concrete, stone, or composite—and identify any areas that need special attention. This prevents the damage that comes from using the wrong pressure or technique. Next, we apply our proven cleaning solution that breaks down organic growth, stains, and buildup at the molecular level. This does the heavy lifting so high pressure isn’t needed to blast everything away. Finally, we rinse everything clean using the appropriate pressure for your specific surface type. The result is a thoroughly clean patio or walkway that looks refreshed without being damaged, gouged, or stripped of protective sealers.

Rivanna Patio Cleaning Services

What's Included in Your Service

Your patio pressure washing service covers all concrete surfaces including patios, walkways, sidewalks, and driveways. We handle everything from basic dirt and grime removal to tough stains like oil spots, rust marks, and organic growth. For Rivanna properties, this is particularly important given the area’s humidity and tree coverage that can lead to rapid algae and mold development. The Glenmore community and surrounding neighborhoods often deal with pollen buildup and moisture retention that creates slippery, unsafe conditions. We also address the edges and corners that most crews skip, ensure proper drainage patterns aren’t disrupted, and protect your landscaping throughout the process. You get a complete cleaning that restores both safety and appearance to your outdoor spaces.

Will pressure washing damage my concrete patio or walkways?

Not when it’s done correctly with the right equipment and technique. The key is using the appropriate pressure level for your specific surface and condition. We use a methodical approach that relies more on our cleaning solutions than brute force. This prevents the etching, gouging, and aggregate exposure that happens when inexperienced operators use too much pressure or the wrong nozzle. Our 15+ years of experience means we can quickly identify what pressure level and cleaning method will get your surfaces clean without causing damage. Most concrete surfaces can handle higher pressure than other materials, but it still requires knowledge and proper technique to avoid problems.

How often should I have my patio and walkways pressure washed?

For most Rivanna properties, annual cleaning works well, but it depends on your specific conditions. Properties with more tree coverage, north-facing surfaces, or areas that stay damp longer may need cleaning every 8-10 months. The Glenmore community and surrounding areas tend to accumulate pollen, organic debris, and moisture that creates ideal conditions for algae and mold growth. Waiting too long between cleanings makes the job harder and more expensive. You’ll know it’s time when surfaces start feeling slippery when wet, developing dark stains, or showing visible organic growth. Staying ahead of these issues with regular cleaning prevents safety hazards and keeps your property looking its best year-round.

Can you remove oil stains and rust marks from concrete?

Yes, most oil stains and rust marks can be removed or significantly improved with the right approach. Fresh stains are always easier than ones that have been sitting for months or years, but even old stains often respond well to proper treatment. We use specialized cleaning solutions designed for different types of stains. Oil stains require different chemistry than rust stains, and both need adequate dwell time to work effectively before rinsing. The key is realistic expectations and proper technique. Some very old or deep stains may lighten considerably but not disappear completely. However, most homeowners are pleased with the improvement, and the overall appearance of the surface is dramatically better after professional cleaning.

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing for patios?

Pressure washing uses higher water pressure to physically remove dirt and stains, while soft washing relies more on cleaning solutions with lower pressure. For concrete patios and walkways, pressure washing is typically the right choice because concrete can handle the higher pressure. However, the pressure level still needs to be appropriate for the surface condition and age. Newer concrete can typically handle higher pressure than older, weathered surfaces that may have become more porous over time. We adjust our approach based on your specific surfaces. We might use soft washing techniques on delicate areas or decorative elements while using appropriate pressure washing on the main concrete surfaces. The goal is always maximum cleaning with zero damage.

How long does the cleaning process take for a typical patio?

Most patio and walkway cleaning projects take 2-4 hours depending on the size, condition, and complexity of the surfaces. A simple back patio might take 2 hours, while a large patio with multiple walkways and heavy staining could take most of a day. The process isn’t just spraying and rinsing. Time is needed for proper surface preparation, applying cleaning solutions, allowing dwell time for the chemistry to work, and thorough rinsing. Rushing through these steps reduces the quality of results. We provide realistic time estimates upfront so you know what to expect. We focus on doing the job right rather than doing it fast, which means better results and longer-lasting cleanliness for your investment.

Do you guarantee your patio pressure washing work?

Yes, we stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with the results, we’ll return to address any issues at no additional cost. Our guarantee covers the quality of cleaning and workmanship, but it’s important to have realistic expectations about what pressure washing can and cannot accomplish. Some very old stains or surface damage may not be completely reversible. What you can expect is professional service, appropriate techniques for your surfaces, and cleaning results that dramatically improve the appearance and safety of your outdoor spaces. Our 15+ years in business and focus on long-term customer relationships means we’re committed to getting it right.
