Professional Patio Cleaning in Lexington, KY

Over time, patios collect dirt, algae, mold, mildew, leaf stains, and other organic buildup that can leave the surface looking weathered and
become slippery when wet. Our professional patio cleaning in Lexington, KY removes this buildup and restores a safer, more inviting outdoor
space, protected against the wear caused by Kentucky’s humid summers and pollen-heavy springs.

Surfaces & Materials We Clean

Every patio material responds differently to moisture, stains, and cleaning methods. That’s why we inspect the surface before choosing the
most appropriate approach instead of using the same pressure on every patio.

Concrete Patios

Concrete is durable but naturally porous, allowing dirt, algae, mold, and stains to settle below the surface over time. We use a cleaning method appropriate for concrete to lift embedded buildup while restoring a cleaner, more uniform appearance.

Paver Patios

Paver patios require extra care because the joints between pavers help keep the surface stable. We use controlled cleaning methods that remove dirt, algae, and weeds while helping minimize unnecessary disturbance to the joint sand.

Natural Stone & Flagstone Patios

Natural stone and flagstone offer a unique appearance but can be more sensitive than standard concrete. We adjust our cleaning approach to remove organic growth and surface staining while helping prevent unnecessary surface etching or damage.

Brick Patios

Brick patios can collect moss, algae, and dirt within the brick surface and mortar joints. Our material-specific cleaning process removes buildup while treating the brick and surrounding mortar with the care needed to maintain the patio’s appearance and long-term condition.

Will Cleaning Damage Paver Joints or Grout?

It can, but only if the wrong technique is used. Aiming high pressure directly at the joints between pavers can blast out the polymeric
sand that keeps them stable, leaving the surface loose or uneven over time. That’s why we adjust pressure and technique specifically
for paver patios instead of using the same approach we’d use on solid concrete. If any joint sand is lost during cleaning, we refill and
reseal it as part of the job.

Our Patio Pressure Washing Process

Every patio is different, so we begin by inspecting the surface to determine the safest and most effective cleaning method based on its material, condition, and level of buildup.

1

Inspection

We inspect the patio for algae, mold, mildew, moss, stains, and any signs of surface wear. We also identify the patio material, whether it’s concrete, pavers, brick, or natural stone, so we can choose the appropriate cleaning technique before work begins.

2

Pre-Treatment

We apply a biodegradable cleaning solution to loosen organic growth and embedded dirt. The solution is typically allowed to dwell for 10-15 minutes, giving it time to break down contaminants before the cleaning stage begins.

3

Surface Cleaning

Once the pre-treatment has done its job, we begin patio pressure washing, adjusting the pressure to match the surface. Dense concrete can generally tolerate higher pressure than more delicate materials, while pavers, brick, and natural stone are cleaned using controlled pressure to help protect joint sand, mortar, and the surface finish. When appropriate, we also use soft washing on areas where high pressure is unnecessary.

4

Final Walkthrough

After cleaning, we perform a final inspection to ensure the surface has been cleaned thoroughly and address any remaining areas before completing the job.

What is the best time of year to clean a patio?

Spring is generally the best time to clean a patio in Lexington. It falls right after pollen season winds down and before backyard entertaining
picks up for the year, so the surface stays cleaner through the months it gets used most. Kentucky’s humid summers also speed up algae
and mold growth, which means an early-season cleaning gives you more time before buildup returns. That said, if your patio is showing
heavy staining or slipperiness now, waiting for a specific season isn’t necessary. We clean patios year-round and can time the service around whatever’s actually needed.

Patio Cleaning Pricing

$200–$500

Most patio cleaning jobs in Lexington run $200 to $500, depending on size and material. Concrete patios sit toward the lower end, while paver and natural stone patios often cost more due to the extra care their joints and surfaces require. Your final price depends on the patio’s size, material, condition, and the amount of algae, dirt, or staining that needs to be removed.

Benefits of Professional Patio Cleaning

Improved Safety

Patios can become slippery as algae, moss, mildew, and other organic growth accumulate, particularly in shaded or damp areas. Professional cleaning removes this buildup, improving traction on concrete, paver, brick, and natural stone patios to help reduce slip hazards.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

Years of dirt, stains, and weather-related discoloration can make a patio look worn and neglected. Thorough cleaning restores a brighter, more uniform appearance, helping your patio complement the rest of your property’s outdoor space.

Longer Surface Life & Better Preparation for Sealing

Contaminants that remain on a patio can trap moisture and contribute to gradual surface deterioration, especially through Kentucky’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Routine cleaning removes this buildup before it causes lasting damage and creates a clean surface that’s properly prepared if you plan to apply a sealer afterward.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to some of the questions homeowners and business owners ask before
scheduling patio cleaning services in Lexington.

Pressure washing removes dirt, algae, and mildew from the surface, but it won’t strip an existing sealant on its own. If your patio is sealed and you’re planning to reseal it, let us know beforehand so we can adjust our approach and pressure accordingly.

Most Lexington homeowners should have their patio professionally cleaned once a year. Patios in shaded or tree-covered yards often need cleaning twice a year, since reduced sunlight and trapped moisture speed up algae and moss growth.

We start by pre-treating the surface with a cleaning solution to break down algae, mold, and organic buildup, letting it dwell for several minutes. Then we rinse using pressure adjusted to the surface: lower for pavers and natural stone, higher for solid concrete, to lift grime without causing damage.

Avoid high-pressure settings aimed directly at joints, acid-based cleaners, and metal-bristle brushes on pavers. All three can erode the surface, strip joint sand, or cause discoloration. Pavers respond best to a lower-pressure rinse paired with a proper pre-treatment solution.

In most cases, yes. Rust usually comes from patio furniture, planters, or metal fixtures left on the surface. We treat it with a rust-specific solution during pretreatment before the main cleaning begins.

It can, if the pressure isn’t matched to the material. That’s why we inspect the patio first and adjust our technique for pavers, natural stone, and brick differently than we would for solid concrete. Sticking to one fixed pressure setting for every surface is where most damage happens.
