Patio Cleaning
What does patio cleaning involve?
Patio cleaning removes food and drink spills, planter and rust stains and slippery growth from outdoor living areas. Concrete, stone and pavers are cleaned with a surface cleaner, while wood or composite decking on the patio gets lower pressure and a suitable solution.
Patios are where Los Angeles outdoor living happens — and where spills, planter runoff, grime and organic growth build up. Each surface needs its own approach: wood needs care, concrete can take more.
Durable patio surfaces are cleaned with controlled pressure and a surface cleaner. Wood and composite decks use lower pressure and appropriate solutions to avoid raising grain or marking boards.

What patio cleaning removes
Patio cleaning clears food and drink spills, grease spots near grills, and the planter and rust staining that collects around pots and furniture legs. It also removes the slippery film of organic growth that forms in shaded or damp corners and the general dirt that darkens a patio's color over a season of outdoor use.
What cleaning can't fix
Cleaning can't repair cracked pavers, pitted or spalled concrete, or wood decking that has already started to splinter or rot. Sealed surfaces where the sealer has worn unevenly may show blotchy results after cleaning simply because the underlying wear becomes visible without the sealer masking it. Deep grease stains that have soaked into unsealed stone over a long period may lighten without disappearing entirely.
How we do it, and why this method
Patios combine several different materials, so the approach shifts depending on what's underfoot. Concrete, stone, and paver surfaces can generally handle a surface cleaner running at a controlled pressure, which gets an even result across a wide area without leaving streak marks. Wood and composite decking need a different plan entirely — lower pressure and a solution-based process that lifts dirt and mildew without raising the wood grain or marking the boards.
The reason this distinction matters is that a pressure level safe for stamped concrete can easily splinter softwood decking or strip a composite board's finish. By treating the hard surfaces and the wood or composite sections as separate tasks within the same visit, both get the pressure and method they actually need rather than a single compromise setting applied everywhere.
What affects the cost
- The mix of materials on the patio — concrete, pavers, wood, tile — changes how many different methods are needed in one visit.
- Patio size and how much furniture needs to be moved both affect total time on site.
- Shaded, damp areas with heavier organic growth take longer to treat than sun-exposed sections.
- Built-in features like fire pits, outdoor kitchens, or sport court surfaces add scope beyond basic flatwork.
- Grease and food staining near cooking areas often needs targeted pre-treatment.
- Combining patio cleaning with adjoining fence or hardscape cleaning in one visit is usually more efficient.

When to schedule
Patios tend to need cleaning most right before the outdoor season ramps up, when furniture and grills come back out and everyone notices the grime that built up while it sat unused. It's also worth scheduling after major pruning or landscaping work, since trimmed branches and dropped leaves tend to leave a mess on the surface below. If you have a wood deck section, pairing cleaning with the usual staining or sealing schedule works well since both call for a bare, clean surface.
What to expect on the day
Furniture, planters, grills, and rugs will need to be cleared off the patio before the crew begins, or at minimum pushed aside if the space allows. Hard surfaces are treated with a surface cleaner while wood or composite areas are handled separately with lower pressure. Expect the space to be wet and unusable for a few hours, with wood sections sometimes taking a bit longer to fully dry before furniture goes back.

Questions
Patio Cleaning FAQ
Can wood decks be pressure washed?
Wood can be cleaned, but pressure must be kept low to avoid splintering or etching the boards.
Do you clean sport courts?
Yes, sport courts are included in this service. Tell us the court surface type when requesting a quote.
Do I need to move all my furniture myself?
Moving smaller items ahead of time speeds things up, but the crew can shift larger furniture pieces as needed during the visit.
Can you clean a patio with a built-in fire pit?
Yes, fire pits and surrounding hardscape are cleaned as part of the patio, with ash and soot staining treated individually.
Is it safe to clean pavers with a fire pit on top?
The pit itself is worked around rather than lifted; the exposed surrounding paver area is cleaned normally.
What if my patio has a mix of stone and wood decking?
Each material is treated with its own appropriate method in the same visit, so both areas get the right level of care.
