Patios & pavers
Patios, pavers and stone cleaned of moss, weeds and stains, with re-sanding of the joints as an option.
About the job
Patios collect moss, algae and weeds in the joints, plus grease from the grill and rings from planters. Concrete, pavers and most natural stone can take pressure, so we use a surface cleaner on the flat areas and turn the pressure down for softer stone and edges.
Washing pavers flushes out some of the sand between them. Re-sanding with polymeric sand is an option: it locks the pavers in place and helps keep weeds and ants out. The pavers have to be completely dry first, so we usually come back a day or two after the wash.

Common questions
Will washing take out the sand between my pavers?
Some of it, yes. That’s normal with any wash. You can sweep in new sand afterward, or have us re-sand with polymeric sand, which hardens and stays put.
Will the weeds come back?
Washing clears the weeds and moss in the joints, but new seeds blow in. Polymeric sand makes it much harder for them to root. Without it, expect some weeds by next season.
When can we use the patio again?
As soon as it’s dry after the wash. If we re-sand, stay off it for about a day. The directions on the sand bag give the exact time.
