Professional Patio Cleaning Mount Crawford

Clean Patios That Actually Stay Clean

Your patio becomes the space you actually want to use again. No more avoiding that back area because it looks embarrassing. No more slippery spots from algae buildup that make you nervous about having guests over.

We remove years of embedded dirt, oil stains, and organic growth that regular hosing can’t touch. The concrete brightens back to its original color, walkways become safe to walk on again, and your outdoor space starts feeling like an extension of your home instead of something you’d rather hide.

Most importantly, we clean it right the first time so it stays cleaner longer. Proper technique prevents the damage that brings grime back faster.

Patio Pressure Washing Process

How We Clean Without Damaging

First, we assess your specific surfaces. Different materials need different approaches—what works on concrete can damage natural stone or brick. We adjust pressure, temperature, and cleaning solutions accordingly.

Next comes pre-treatment for stubborn stains. Oil spots, rust marks, and embedded dirt get targeted treatment before the main cleaning begins. This prevents having to use excessive pressure that can damage surfaces.

The actual cleaning uses controlled pressure and proper technique. We work systematically to ensure even coverage without leaving streaks or missed spots. Water flow is managed to prevent flooding or damage to surrounding landscaping.

Finally, we inspect the results and address any remaining problem areas. You get a walkthrough to ensure everything meets expectations before we pack up.

What's Included in Your Service

Your patio and walkway cleaning includes thorough surface preparation, appropriate pressure settings for your specific materials, and targeted treatment for stains and organic growth. We handle concrete, brick, stone, pavers, and composite surfaces.

Mount Crawford’s climate creates specific challenges—humid summers promote algae growth while winter freeze-thaw cycles can make surfaces more porous and prone to staining. Our process accounts for these local conditions.

We also include protection for surrounding areas. Landscaping gets covered, and water runoff is managed properly. Your plants and lawn stay safe while your hard surfaces get the deep cleaning they need.

The service covers standard patios, walkways, steps, and connecting concrete areas. We’ll move lightweight furniture but recommend clearing the area beforehand for the most thorough results.

How much does pressure washing a patio cost in Mount Crawford?

Patio pressure washing typically costs between $120-$260 depending on size, material, and condition. Concrete patios are usually on the lower end since they can handle standard pressure settings. Brick or stone surfaces may cost more due to the careful technique required to avoid damage. Heavily stained patios with oil spots or deep-set algae also require more time and specialized treatment, which affects pricing. The investment pays off quickly though. Professional cleaning prevents damage that leads to expensive repairs later, and properly cleaned surfaces stay cleaner longer than DIY attempts.
Yes, excessive pressure can absolutely damage concrete, especially older concrete that’s more porous. Too much pressure can create pitting, remove surface material, or force water into cracks that expand during freeze-thaw cycles. Mount Crawford’s historic properties often have concrete that’s decades old and more vulnerable to damage. Using the wrong pressure settings can create permanent scarring that’s impossible to repair without replacement. Professional equipment allows precise pressure control for each surface type. We start low and increase only as needed, which protects your investment while still achieving thorough cleaning.
Most patios in Virginia benefit from professional pressure washing every 1-2 years, depending on exposure and use. Shaded areas that stay damp tend to develop algae and mold faster and may need annual cleaning. High-traffic walkways and patios near trees or in humid microclimates might need attention more frequently. Areas that get full sun and good air circulation can often go longer between cleanings. Regular maintenance cleaning is much easier and less expensive than letting buildup accumulate for years. It also prevents organic growth from permanently staining or damaging the surface material.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to physically remove dirt and stains, while soft washing relies more on specialized cleaning solutions with lower pressure. The choice depends on your surface material and what needs to be removed. Concrete can typically handle standard pressure washing, but natural stone, aged brick, or composite materials often require soft washing to prevent damage. Organic stains like algae respond better to chemical treatment than pressure alone. Experienced contractors assess each situation and use the appropriate method. Many jobs actually combine both techniques—soft washing for initial treatment followed by controlled pressure for final cleaning and rinsing.
Yes, we work around existing landscaping and can move lightweight furniture like chairs and small tables. Plants get covered and protected during the cleaning process to prevent damage from cleaning solutions or high-pressure spray. For best results, we recommend clearing the area of furniture, decorations, and moveable items beforehand. This allows complete access to all surfaces and prevents anything from getting damaged or in the way. Built-in features like planters, permanent fixtures, and heavy furniture are worked around carefully. We’ll discuss any access limitations during the initial assessment to ensure realistic expectations.
Most standard patio cleaning jobs take 1-3 hours depending on size, condition, and complexity. A simple 200-square-foot concrete patio might take an hour, while larger or heavily stained areas require more time. Preparation and setup add time to any job. Moving furniture, covering plants, and setting up equipment properly is essential for good results and safety. We don’t rush through these important steps. Weather affects timing too. We won’t clean in freezing temperatures or during rain, and surfaces need time to dry properly afterward. We’ll discuss timing expectations upfront so you can plan accordingly.
