What we clean

  • Poured concrete sidewalks along the frontage
  • Front walks, garden paths and stepping-stone runs
  • Paver and brick walkways, joints and soldier-course edging
  • Flagstone and stone slab paths, and the landings they run to
  • The apron where the walk meets the drive or the street

One surface, not a clean patch

A walk is a long, narrow run in and out of shade, which is why it dirties unevenly and why a careless clean shows every start and stop. Cleaning it end to end in overlapping passes is the difference between a walk that looks new and one that looks half done.

Method follows the surface. Poured concrete takes a rotary surface cleaner, which is what makes the pass even rather than striped. Brick and pavers take the same tool held further off, so the film lifts without carrying the joint sand with it. Flagstone and stone slab take low pressure and a soft-wash solution that clears the moss out of the joints and leaves the stone face alone.

FAQs

Sidewalk & Walkway FAQ

Isn't the sidewalk done with the driveway?

Not automatically. A driveway clean is quoted by the drive itself. The walk to the door, the garden path and the public sidewalk across the frontage are separate runs of surface, so they are priced as their own service rather than assumed in - which is why they are listed separately on the quote form.

Will the joints between pavers be blown out?

No. Paver walks are cleaned with a surface cleaner held at a distance that lifts the film without stripping the joint sand, and the edging and soldier course are cleaned at lower pressure still. Where the sand has already washed out, we say so rather than making it worse.

What about the walk under trees that goes green every year?

Shaded walks grow algae back fastest, so those are the ones worth putting on a recurring schedule or simply repeating each spring. Send the property address and the walk, the entry and the drive come back on one estimate.

How is a walkway quoted?

By the run of surface, which is why walks are listed separately on the quote form instead of being assumed into the driveway. Ask for them together and they come back on one estimate. Where the joint sand has already washed out we say so, rather than quoting a job that would make it worse.
