Patio Pressure Washing in Irvine, CA
A clean patio changes how your whole backyard feels. We deep clean concrete, pavers, and many stone patios to remove grime, algae, and dark staining—so the surface looks brighter and feels less slippery.
In Irvine, patios commonly collect buildup in shaded corners, along planters, and anywhere sprinklers keep the ground damp. The best results come from a controlled process: the right cleaner, enough dwell time, and an even clean that doesn’t leave streaks or “wand marks.”
- Concrete, pavers, stone — method matched to the surface.
- Better traction — reduce slippery algae in damp areas.
- Local Irvine service — quick scheduling.
Tip: If your patio stays damp because of shade or sprinklers, algae will return faster—reducing overspray helps a lot.
What’s included in patio cleaning
Patios are all about the finish. We focus on uniform results, especially on large flat areas where streaks are easy to see. We also pay attention to edges along walls and planters where grime tends to build up.
If you’ve cleaned a patio yourself and it still looks “shadowy,” that’s usually embedded dirt and organic growth. The right cleaner + a consistent surface-cleaning pass makes a bigger difference than cranking up the pressure.
- Pre-treatment to loosen grime and organic growth.
- Even cleaning for a streak-free finish.
- Detail work along edges, corners, and transitions.
- Final rinse so it dries clean and even.
Concrete vs pavers vs stone
Concrete patios usually handle cleaning well, but they can etch if the pressure is too aggressive or the nozzle is held too close. Pavers clean up beautifully, but we’re careful around joints so we don’t wash out sand unnecessarily. Stone varies a lot—some surfaces are durable, others need a gentler approach and careful chemistry.
Patios also tend to collect “life stains” that don’t show up on driveways—BBQ grease, drink spills, leaf tannins, and the dark ring that forms under planters. Those usually improve a lot with the right treatment, but we’ll tell you honestly if something has been baked in for years. If your patio is pavers and you’re thinking about sealing, cleaning first is the right move; we just want the surface fully dry before any sealer goes down.
Prep checklist (quick)
A couple quick prep steps help:
- Move furniture, rugs, and planters off the surface if possible.
- Let us know about delicate plants so we can pre-wet and rinse carefully.
- If there are stubborn stains (rust, grease), point them out so we can treat them directly.
Results & stain expectations
Most grime and algae comes up very well. Some stains—like old rust drips or deep oil—may lighten but not fully disappear depending on how long they’ve been set in. We’ll be honest about what’s realistic before we start.
