Professional Patio Cleaning Ivy Virginia

What Clean Patios Actually Do

Your patio stops being an embarrassment and starts being a place you want to spend time. Stains disappear. That slippery algae buildup that makes you nervous when it’s wet? Gone. The oil spots from the grill, the tire marks from moving equipment, the green film that makes everything look neglected – all of it comes off. Your concrete looks like concrete again, not like something that’s been sitting outside for years collecting every bit of dirt the weather throws at it. You get your outdoor space back. The space you actually want to use for entertaining, for family time, for just sitting outside without feeling like you need to apologize for how it looks.

Patio Pressure Washing Process Virginia

Here's How We Clean Your Patio

First, we assess your specific surfaces. Concrete, stone, pavers – they all need different approaches. We’re not showing up with one setting for everything. We apply the right cleaning solution for what we’re dealing with. Oil stains need different treatment than algae. Tire marks come off differently than general dirt buildup. Then we use controlled pressure washing – not the blast-everything-with-maximum-force approach that can damage your surfaces. We use the pressure that gets the job done without creating new problems. We clean up completely when we’re finished. No mess left behind, no cleaning solution residue, no equipment scattered around your property.

What's Included in Patio Cleaning

We clean all your concrete surfaces – patios, walkways, driveways, sidewalks. If it’s concrete and it’s dirty, we handle it. Oil and grease stains get special attention. These don’t come off with just water and pressure. We use specific degreasers that actually break down what’s causing the stain. In Ivy’s humid climate, we see a lot of algae and mildew buildup. This isn’t just cosmetic – it makes surfaces slippery and dangerous when wet. Our cleaning process eliminates the growth and helps prevent it from coming back quickly. We also clean around your patio – the areas where dirt splashes up onto walls, the spots where your outdoor furniture sits, the edges where debris collects.

How often should I have my patio pressure washed in Ivy?

Most patios in Ivy need professional cleaning every 12-18 months. Virginia’s humid climate means algae and mildew grow faster here than in drier areas. If your patio gets heavy use or is under trees that drop debris, you might need cleaning annually. If it’s mostly covered or doesn’t see much traffic, you can often go longer. The real indicator is when you notice staining, slippery spots when wet, or that general dingy appearance that makes you not want to use the space.

Will pressure washing damage my concrete patio or walkways?

Not when it’s done correctly. We use controlled pressure specifically calibrated for concrete surfaces. Concrete can handle proper pressure washing without damage. The problems happen when someone uses too much pressure, gets too close with the nozzle, or uses the wrong cleaning chemicals. We’ve been doing this for 15 Years – we know exactly how much pressure each surface can handle. We also avoid the common mistake of using high pressure on the joints between pavers or stones, which can wash out the material that holds everything in place.

Can you remove oil stains from my driveway and patio?

Yes, in most cases. Oil stains need specific treatment – they don’t come off with just water and pressure. We use degreasers designed to break down petroleum products. Older stains that have been there for months or years are more challenging, but we can usually get significant improvement even on those. Fresh stains typically come off completely. The key is using the right cleaning agents and giving them time to work before applying pressure. It’s not a quick spray-and-go process for oil stains.

How long does patio pressure washing take?

A typical residential patio takes 2-4 hours, depending on size and how dirty it is. If we’re also cleaning walkways, driveways, or other concrete surfaces, plan on a half day. Heavy staining or algae buildup takes longer because the cleaning solutions need time to work. We don’t rush the process – doing it right takes the time it takes. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your property. We’d rather tell you it’ll take longer and finish early than promise quick results and have to come back.

Do I need to move furniture and equipment off my patio?

Yes, we need clear access to clean effectively. Outdoor furniture, grills, planters, and equipment should be moved before we arrive. If you have heavy items you can’t move easily, let us know when you schedule. We can often work around some things or help move them, but we need to know ahead of time. The goal is to clean the entire surface, not just work around obstacles. Moving everything gives you the best results and ensures we don’t miss spots that will stand out later.

What's the difference between your cleaning and DIY pressure washing?

We have commercial-grade equipment that delivers consistent pressure and flow. Rental machines from hardware stores often lack the power for effective cleaning or are difficult to control properly. More importantly, we know which cleaning solutions to use for different stains and surfaces. Using the wrong chemicals can damage your concrete or fail to clean properly. We also know the right pressure settings and techniques for each surface type. Too much pressure can damage concrete, too little won’t clean effectively. After 15 Years, we know exactly what each job needs.
