Your patio should enhance your home’s value, not detract from it. Those black and green stains aren’t just unsightly—they’re actively damaging your investment and creating safety hazards for your family.
When we finish cleaning your patio, you’ll have surfaces that look fresh and inviting again. The slippery algae disappears. The embedded dirt lifts away. Your pavers or concrete regain their original color and texture.
Most importantly, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the job was done right. No damage from excessive pressure. No shortcuts that leave problems behind. Just clean, safe surfaces that reflect the quality of your Old Westbury home.
We’ve been serving Old Westbury homeowners for three years with a focus on quality over quantity. We’re not the crew that rushes through ten jobs a day—we’re the team that takes time to do each project right.
Our approach fits this community. Licensed and insured operation. Professional equipment and techniques. Clear communication from estimate to completion.
Old Westbury’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for algae and mold growth on outdoor surfaces. We understand these local challenges and have the experience to address them properly, whether you have delicate natural stone or durable concrete pavers.
Every patio cleaning starts with an assessment. We identify your surface materials, check for existing damage, and note drainage patterns. This tells us exactly what pressure levels and cleaning solutions will work best.
Next comes targeted pre-treatment. We apply detergents that break down contaminants before any pressure washing begins. This means we need less force to get better results—protecting your surfaces while achieving a deeper clean.
The actual cleaning uses the right technique for your specific patio. Soft washing for delicate surfaces. Controlled pressure washing for concrete. Surface cleaners for even coverage. We adjust our approach based on what your patio actually needs, not what’s fastest for us.

Your patio cleaning includes everything needed to restore your outdoor space. We remove algae, mold, dirt, and embedded stains from all patio surfaces. Joint sand gets restored where needed. Settled pavers are releveled when possible.
Old Westbury’s upscale properties often feature complex hardscaping with multiple materials. We clean natural stone, concrete pavers, brick, and composite surfaces using appropriate techniques for each. Your patio furniture and cushions can be cleaned as part of the service.
The humid Long Island climate means biological growth returns faster here than in drier regions. We apply treatments that help slow regrowth and can discuss sealing options that provide longer-lasting protection for your investment.
Most Old Westbury patios benefit from professional cleaning once per year, typically in spring before the entertaining season begins. However, patios with heavy tree coverage or those facing north may need cleaning twice yearly due to increased moisture and organic debris.
Our humid Long Island climate accelerates algae and mold growth compared to drier regions. Properties near water or with poor drainage may see faster buildup. During your service, we’ll assess your specific conditions and recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps your patio looking its best year-round.
The key is addressing buildup before it becomes embedded. Annual cleaning prevents permanent staining and extends the life of your patio materials, protecting your investment in your outdoor living space.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and stains, while soft washing combines low pressure with specialized cleaning solutions to break down contaminants chemically. The right choice depends entirely on your patio materials and the type of buildup present.
Concrete and sealed pavers can typically handle pressure washing when done correctly. Natural stone, older pavers, and surfaces with existing damage require soft washing to avoid costly repairs. Many companies default to high pressure because it’s faster, but this often causes pitting, joint sand loss, and surface damage.
We assess each patio individually and use the gentlest effective method. Pre-treatment with detergents allows us to achieve excellent results with less aggressive techniques, protecting your surfaces while delivering superior cleaning compared to pressure-only approaches.
Proper patio cleaning shouldn’t damage joint sand, but improper techniques absolutely will. High-pressure washing can blow out joint sand completely, leaving your pavers unstable and creating spaces for weeds to grow. This is why technique and experience matter so much.
We use controlled pressure and proper angles to clean paver surfaces without disturbing the joint material. When some sand loss is unavoidable due to existing deterioration, we restore joints with fresh sand as part of the service. Polymeric sand can be used for longer-lasting results.
The goal is cleaning your pavers thoroughly while maintaining the structural integrity of the installation. After cleaning, your pavers should look refreshed but remain stable and properly supported by intact joint sand.
Yes, we can clean most patio furniture and outdoor cushions as part of your patio service. Aluminum, plastic resin, and teak furniture respond well to appropriate cleaning techniques. Cushions and fabric elements require different approaches depending on the material and manufacturer specifications.
We assess each piece individually since furniture materials vary widely. Some items benefit from pressure washing, others need gentle hand cleaning with specialized solutions. Delicate fabrics may require spot treatment rather than full washing. We’ll discuss options for each piece during the initial assessment.
Combining furniture cleaning with patio service is efficient and ensures your entire outdoor space looks cohesive. However, heavily soiled or delicate items may need separate attention or professional fabric cleaning services for best results.
Most residential patios in Old Westbury take 2-4 hours to clean thoroughly, depending on size, condition, and complexity. Simple concrete slabs clean faster than intricate paver patterns with multiple levels and built-in features. We’ll provide a time estimate during your consultation.
You can typically walk on your patio immediately after cleaning, though we recommend waiting until surfaces are completely dry for safety. Full use can resume within a few hours on sunny days, longer if weather is humid or overcast. Sealed surfaces may need 24-48 hours before furniture replacement.
We schedule around your needs when possible. If you’re planning an event, we’ll ensure adequate drying time. For ongoing maintenance, timing isn’t usually critical—we just need access to water and the ability to work around your schedule.
Yes, we offer patio sealing services that complement our cleaning work perfectly. Sealing after professional cleaning provides maximum protection and helps maintain that fresh, clean appearance longer. However, sealing isn’t always necessary or appropriate for every patio type.
Natural stone and concrete pavers benefit most from sealing, especially in our humid climate. The sealer helps repel water, reduce staining, and slow biological growth. However, some materials like certain natural stones shouldn’t be sealed, and existing sealers may need removal before reapplication.
We assess your patio’s condition and discuss sealing options during cleaning. If sealing is recommended, we typically schedule it for a separate visit after the cleaned surface has had time to fully dry and cure. This ensures optimal sealer adhesion and longevity.
