Path cleaning
What path cleaning with us looks like
Paths are where people slip. Side passages and garden walks sit in shade for most of the day, so algae and moss grow on them faster than anywhere else on the block. After rain they turn slick, and that's when someone ends up on the ground.
We treat the growth, clean the path at the pressure its surface can take, and clear the edges and joints so water drains instead of sitting. Concrete, pavers, sandstone, brick and crazy paving each get their own method.
Why it matters
What you get
Safer underfoot
Algae and moss are killed, not only rinsed, so the path grips again.
Joints kept in
Low pressure on pavers and crazy paving keeps sand and mortar joints in place.
Edges and steps included
Path edges, steps and landings are cleaned along with the main run.
Garden looked after
Run-off is directed away from beds and lawns, and plants are rinsed down.

Our method
How we do it
Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy.
Step 01 of 04
Check the surface
We look at what the path is made of and how the joints and edges are holding up.
He was professional, responsive, and delivered exactly as promised.
Step 02 of 04
Treat the growth
Algae, moss and mould are treated and left to work before any pressure goes on.
Great work, fair pricing, and excellent communication.
Step 03 of 04
Clean
A rotary surface cleaner on flat runs, and a wand on steps, edges and joints.
Excellent service! Nathan is punctual and nothing is a problem.
Step 04 of 04
Rinse and clear
The path is rinsed, joints and drains cleared, and the garden edges washed down.
Why paths go green first
A path along the south side of a house might get an hour of sun a day in winter. Water from the roof and the garden runs across it and has nowhere to go. That suits algae, which forms a thin green film that turns slippery the moment it's wet.
Pressure on its own strips the top layer but leaves the roots in the joints and pores, so the green comes back within weeks. Treating it first means the path stays clean for longer.
Paths and pressure
Crazy paving and old brick paths are set in mortar or sand that high pressure can blow out. Sandstone flagging can be scarred by a narrow jet. We match the pressure to the path, and point out loose stones or failing joints before we start.

Nathan just completed a pressure wash of our travertine pavers under our alfresco area, around the pool and the sundeck. What an absolutely fantastic job. Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy. We will certainly be calling him back on a regular basis and can highly recommend him.
Nathan provided a reliable and professional property maintenance. Great work, fair pricing, and excellent communication. Highly recommend!
Nathan always does such an excellent job of cleaning our outdoor brick, timber and tile stairs and paths. He is very reasonably priced and provides excellent service and honest advice. I have used him several times before and have referred him to all of my friends!

Still have a question?
Talk to Nathan directly. He quotes and attends every job himself.
How do I stop my path being slippery?
Kill the algae, not only the surface layer. A treatment and a clean usually fix it, and better drainage or more light slows it coming back.
Can you clean crazy paving without damaging it?
Yes. We use low pressure on crazy paving so the mortar joints stay in place, and we tell you about any loose pieces first.
Do you clean garden steps too?
Yes. Steps, landings and the edges beside them are part of the job.
Will cleaning harm my lawn or plants?
We direct run-off away from beds and rinse plants down. The treatment goes on the path, not the garden.
Can you seal a path after cleaning?
Yes, once it's dry. Sealing slows algae growth and makes the next clean easier.
How long does path cleaning take?
Most garden paths and side passages take a few hours. Long or stepped paths take longer.
