Restore and revitalize your outdoor space with our expert patio and paving cleaning solutions
Get Free QuoteYour patio is an extension of your living space, providing an area for relaxation, entertainment, and enjoyment of the outdoors. Over time, patios accumulate dirt, algae, moss, and stains that not only detract from their appearance but can also create slippery, hazardous surfaces.
At Al Grey's Cleaning Services, we specialize in professional patio cleaning using advanced techniques that remove embedded dirt and biological growth without damaging your paving materials. Our team has over 13 years of experience working with all types of patio surfaces, from natural stone and concrete to porcelain and composite materials.
We understand that a clean patio is more than just visually appealing—it's essential for safety, preventing weed growth, and maintaining the value of your property. Our comprehensive patio cleaning services are designed to restore your outdoor space to its original beauty while creating a safer environment for your family and guests.
Comprehensive solutions for all your outdoor surface cleaning needs
Our professional pressure washing service is the most effective method for cleaning heavily soiled patios and paving. We use commercial-grade equipment with adjustable pressure settings to ensure we use the right amount of force for your specific patio material. This approach removes years of embedded dirt, grime, and stains without causing damage to the surface.
For delicate surfaces like natural stone or older paving, we use lower pressure settings combined with specialized cleaning solutions to gently lift dirt and biological growth. For tougher surfaces like concrete, we can use higher pressure to remove stubborn stains and restore the original appearance. Our technicians are trained to recognize different materials and adjust their approach accordingly.
Weeds and moss not only make your patio look unkempt but can also cause significant damage over time. Roots can work their way into cracks and joints, widening them and creating trip hazards. Moss creates slippery surfaces that are dangerous, especially when wet. Our comprehensive weed and moss removal service addresses these issues at their source.
We begin by manually removing visible weeds and moss, then use specialized treatments to kill remaining roots and spores. For joints between paving stones, we use specialized tools to remove debris and biological growth, then apply treatments to prevent regrowth. This comprehensive approach ensures your patio stays cleaner for longer and reduces future maintenance needs.
Natural stone patios require specialized cleaning approaches to preserve their unique characteristics and prevent damage. Stones like sandstone, limestone, slate, and granite have different porosity levels and require specific cleaning methods. Our team has extensive experience working with all types of natural stone and understands how to clean them effectively without causing harm.
We use pH-neutral cleaning solutions specifically designed for natural stone, avoiding harsh chemicals that can etch or damage the surface. For stained or heavily soiled stone, we may use gentle steam cleaning or specialized poultice treatments to draw out deep-seated stains. After cleaning, we can apply sealants that protect the stone while enhancing its natural color and texture.
After thorough cleaning, applying a protective sealant can significantly extend the time between professional cleanings and protect your patio from future staining. Sealants create an invisible barrier that repels water, oil, and other liquids, making routine maintenance much easier. They also provide UV protection, preventing color fading on certain materials.
We offer different types of sealants based on your patio material and desired finish. Penetrating sealers are ideal for natural stone as they protect without changing the appearance. Film-forming sealers provide a slight sheen and are excellent for concrete and composite materials. We'll recommend the best option for your specific patio during our assessment, considering factors like foot traffic, exposure to elements, and your maintenance preferences.

A systematic approach to ensure thorough cleaning and protection for your patio
We begin with a thorough inspection of your patio to identify the type of surface, extent of soiling, presence of weeds or moss, and any specific issues like stains or damage that need special attention.
We prepare the area by removing furniture, potted plants, and other items. We then pre-treat the surface with appropriate cleaning solutions to loosen dirt, algae, and stains before the main cleaning process.
Using our professional equipment and techniques, we thoroughly clean your patio. This may include pressure washing, manual brushing, weed removal from joints, and targeted treatment of stubborn stains.
After cleaning and allowing the surface to dry, we apply protective sealants if requested. These treatments help prevent future staining, reduce weed growth, and make routine maintenance easier.
Get answers to common questions about patio cleaning
Most patios benefit from professional cleaning once a year, ideally in spring to prepare for outdoor use during warmer months. However, this can vary depending on factors like tree cover, weather conditions, and usage. Patios in shaded areas or under trees may need more frequent cleaning due to increased moss and algae growth.
Professional pressure washing is safe for most patio surfaces when performed by trained technicians. We adjust pressure settings and techniques based on your specific patio material. For delicate surfaces like natural stone or older paving, we use lower pressure and specialized approaches to prevent damage. We always assess the condition of your patio before beginning work.
Yes, weeds can cause significant damage to your patio over time. As roots grow, they can widen joints between stones, causing instability and creating trip hazards. Weeds also retain moisture against the patio surface, which can lead to moss growth and potential frost damage in winter. Regular weed removal helps maintain the structural integrity of your patio.
Yes, we offer a satisfaction guarantee on all our patio cleaning services. If you're not completely happy with the results, we'll return to address any concerns at no additional cost. Additionally, our protective sealants come with performance guarantees, and we provide advice on maintaining your patio to extend the time between professional cleanings.
Yes, we use environmentally friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are safe for pets, plants, and the surrounding environment when applied correctly. We take precautions to protect your landscaping during the cleaning process and can use additional protective measures if you have particularly sensitive plants. We're happy to discuss the specific products we use for your peace of mind.
Drying time depends on weather conditions, patio material, and whether sealant is applied. Typically, a patio will be dry enough to walk on within 4-6 hours after cleaning. If we apply a sealant, we recommend keeping off the surface for at least 24 hours to allow proper curing. We'll provide specific guidance based on your situation and the treatments used.
