You know that feeling when you step outside and actually want to spend time on your patio again. When the pavers aren’t slippery from algae buildup, when the concrete doesn’t have those stubborn black streaks, and when your outdoor furniture looks inviting instead of embarrassing.
That’s what happens when patio cleaning is done right. Long Island’s climate is particularly brutal on outdoor surfaces – humid summers create perfect conditions for algae and mold growth, while harsh winter freeze-thaw cycles damage surfaces and coastal winds deposit salt that stains and corrodes.
Your patio becomes the space you actually use, not the one you avoid. Clean surfaces mean safer surfaces, better-looking surfaces, and outdoor areas that add value to your property instead of detracting from it.
We’ve been serving New Hyde Park homeowners for three years with a simple approach: do the job right the first time. We’re licensed, insured, and equipped with professional-grade equipment that most homeowners don’t have access to.
With median property values of $700,400 and high homeownership rates in New Hyde Park, we understand you’re not looking for the cheapest option – you’re looking for the right one. The company that shows up on time, communicates clearly, and takes accountability if something isn’t perfect.
That’s exactly what we deliver. No high-pressure sales tactics, no shopping around for multiple quotes. Just honest estimates and professional results from a team that understands what quality work looks like.
First, we assess your specific patio surfaces and identify any problem areas that need special attention. Different materials require different approaches – what works for concrete might damage pavers, and what’s safe for natural stone could be wrong for composite surfaces.
We pre-treat stubborn stains with biodegradable solutions that break down oil, algae, and organic matter without harming your landscaping, then use hot water pressure washing with carefully calibrated pressure to clean deep into paver pores while protecting joint integrity.
After thorough cleaning, we re-sand joints with high-quality polymeric sand that hardens and prevents future weed growth. If sealing is part of your service, we apply professional-grade sealant that protects against future staining and weather damage. The result is a patio that doesn’t just look clean today, but stays cleaner longer.

Professional patio cleaning in New Hyde Park means more than just spraying water at your surfaces. We clean pavers, concrete, natural stone, and composite decking using the right pressure settings and cleaning solutions for each material.
New Hyde Park’s humid climate allows biological growth such as algae, mold, and mildew to thrive, which creates both aesthetic and safety issues. Our cleaning process eliminates these hazards while addressing the root causes that allow them to return.
We also clean patio furniture, outdoor cushions, and surrounding areas that contribute to your overall outdoor experience. Moss and weeds often grow between paver joints, leading to potential damage, but when we regularly maintain surfaces, vegetation disappears for years. This comprehensive approach means your entire patio area looks cohesive and well-maintained, not just the surfaces we pressure washed.
It’s best to clean pavers every three to five years, but New Hyde Park’s specific climate conditions might require more frequent attention. Our humid summers create perfect conditions for algae and mold growth, while harsh winter freeze-thaw cycles can damage surfaces.
We typically recommend annual inspections with professional cleaning every 2-3 years for most patios. However, heavily shaded areas or surfaces near pools may need attention more frequently. The key is addressing buildup before it becomes embedded and harder to remove.
Regular professional cleaning isn’t just about appearance – it’s about preventing damage that leads to expensive repairs or premature replacement of your patio surfaces.
Most homeowners try pressure washing themselves, but this often causes more damage than good. Wrong pressure settings erode crucial joint sand, improper nozzles leave permanent marks on surfaces, and inadequate cleaning products leave embedded stains behind.
Professional equipment uses hot water systems and specialized detergents that penetrate deeper than consumer-grade pressure washers. We also know the correct pressure settings for different materials – what’s safe for concrete can destroy delicate natural stone or composite surfaces.
Without proper knowledge of cleaning detergents or pressure washer operation, you can cause extreme damage to your pavers, and damage can be costly. A lack of knowledge could also potentially injure you. Professional cleaning protects both your investment and your safety.
We specialize in removing even the toughest stains including oil, rust, paint, and embedded organic matter. Our process uses professional-grade cleaning solutions and hot water pressure systems that penetrate deep into paver pores where stains hide from surface cleaning.
Oil stains require specialized degreasing agents, while rust needs targeted removal compounds. Organic stains from leaves, algae, and mold respond to different treatments than mineral deposits or paint spills. The key is identifying the stain type and using the appropriate solution.
DIY attempts often fail because household cleaners simply can’t handle deeply embedded stains. However, the sooner stains are treated professionally, the better the results. Some very old or set-in stains may lighten significantly but not disappear completely.
When done incorrectly, pressure washing absolutely can damage joint sand and even paver surfaces permanently. That’s exactly why we use precisely controlled pressure settings, proper nozzles, and hot water systems designed specifically for paver cleaning.
Professional paver cleaning actually protects joint integrity while removing harmful buildup. Over time, sand between paver joints erodes naturally, causing instability. When we clean pavers, we monitor pressure levels and re-sand joints to restore stability and prevent shifting.
After thorough cleaning, we re-sand joints with high-quality polymeric sand that hardens and prevents future weed growth. This process actually improves joint stability compared to the original installation, while eliminating the vegetation and debris that was compromising the joint structure.
Most residential patio cleaning projects in New Hyde Park take between 2-4 hours, depending on the size of the area, the type of surfaces involved, and the level of buildup we’re addressing. Heavily soiled surfaces or complex layouts with multiple material types may require additional time.
The process includes setup, pre-treatment of stains, the actual cleaning, re-sanding of joints if needed, and cleanup. We don’t rush through jobs because proper technique takes time – and rushing leads to the kind of damage that costs more to fix than the original cleaning.
Weather conditions can also affect timing. We won’t start a job if rain is expected within a few hours of completion, as this can interfere with joint sand setting and sealing applications. We’d rather reschedule than compromise the quality of your results.
Yes, comprehensive patio cleaning includes outdoor furniture, cushions, umbrellas, and other elements that contribute to your outdoor living space. Different materials require different approaches – what’s safe for aluminum furniture could damage wicker or teak surfaces.
We clean fabric cushions using appropriate solutions that remove mildew, stains, and embedded dirt without damaging the material or waterproof coatings. Hard surfaces like plastic, metal, and composite furniture respond well to pressure washing, while delicate materials get gentler treatment.
The goal is making your entire patio area look cohesive and well-maintained. There’s no point having perfectly clean pavers if your furniture still looks neglected. We coordinate the cleaning process so everything dries properly and you can use your outdoor space as soon as we’re finished.
