Serving the Greater Charlotte Area
Patio cleaning that makes your outdoor space feel new again.
Charlotte's humidity, pollen, and tree canopy are a perfect recipe for green algae and black mold on patios. We use the right pressure, the right chemistry, and overlapping passes to remove it completely - not just push it around.
On this page: our patio cleaning process, surfaces we handle, how long results last, pricing, and FAQs.
Why Charlotte patios get so dirty so fast
Concrete and paver patios are porous surfaces that sit in a humid, shaded environment for most of the year. In Charlotte, that means they collect pollen in the spring, tree sap and seed pods in the summer, leaves and moisture in the fall, and organic growth year-round. North-facing and tree-shaded patios develop visible green or black staining in as little as four to six months. Pool decks accumulate calcium deposits and sunscreen residue on top of all that.
Regular cleaning - ideally once per year - keeps organic growth from embedding deep into the surface and extends the life of any sealant. It also makes your outdoor space actually enjoyable from spring through fall.
Removes algae & mold
Pre-treatment kills growth at the root so it doesn't return in a few weeks the way a simple rinse would allow.
Safer surfaces underfoot
Algae and mold on concrete and pavers are slippery. Cleaning removes the hazard and makes the space safe for kids and guests.
Protects your investment
Organic growth works its way into paver joints and concrete pores over time. Cleaning before it gets embedded saves on repair costs.
Patio surfaces & outdoor areas we clean
Concrete patios
Poured concrete, exposed aggregate, and stamped concrete. We adjust pressure and chemistry to the surface type so we don't etch or damage the finish.
Paver patios
Brick and concrete pavers. We clean the surface and joints without blasting out polymeric sand - and can re-sand if needed as an add-on.
Pool decks
Concrete, travertine, and pavers around the pool. We protect the water and surrounding landscaping while removing calcium, algae, and staining.
Covered porches
Covered back and front porches including ceilings, walls, and floor surfaces. Great bundle with a house wash when we're already there.
Our patio cleaning process
1. Protect & pre-rinse
We move or cover patio furniture, protect nearby plants, and pre-rinse the surface to note staining, joints, and any delicate materials that need a gentler approach.
2. Pre-treatment
A biodegradable algae and mold treatment is applied and allowed to dwell. This breaks down organic growth at the root rather than just at the surface - which is why results last longer than a rinse alone.
3. Pressure wash with surface cleaner
Our rotary surface cleaner delivers even, overlapping passes across the patio - no tiger stripes, no wand marks. Tight corners and edges are hand-wanded to match.
4. Spot treat stubborn stains
Oil, rust from furniture, and fertilizer stains get targeted spot treatment. Most lighten significantly; fresh stains usually come out completely.
5. Final rinse & inspection
We rinse the entire area top to bottom, restore furniture position, and do a final walk-through. Photos are sent on completion - great for HOA documentation or before a party.
When to clean your Charlotte patio
Most Charlotte homeowners clean patios once per year, usually in late spring after pollen season or in early fall before the outdoor entertaining season winds down. Pool decks may benefit from a mid-summer clean too.
Late spring
After pollen season clears - patio is coated in yellow-green film and algae starts showing.
Late summer
Pool decks and heavily-used patios benefit from a mid-season reset before fall entertaining.
Year-round
Heavily shaded or north-facing patios in Charlotte develop algae fast - may need cleaning 2x per year.

Paver PatioHow patio cleaning is priced
Pricing is mostly driven by square footage, surface type, and how much pre-treatment the job needs. A small concrete patio with light staining is fast. A large paver patio with algae and rust staining near a pool takes more time and chemistry. We quote the full price before scheduling - no surprises.
- • Small patio (up to 300 sq ft): compact price, quick job
- • Standard patio (300–600 sq ft): our most common request

Patio cleaning FAQ
Will pressure washing damage my pavers?
Not when done correctly. We use lower pressure on pavers and avoid blasting the joints. Sand joints may need re-topping afterward - we can do that as an add-on.
How long do results last?
In Charlotte's climate, most patios stay clean for 12–18 months. Heavily shaded or frequently wet patios may need a follow-up 6–12 months in.
Can you clean around the pool safely?
Yes - we protect the water and direct all runoff away from the pool. Biodegradable cleaners only near water features.
Do I need to be home?
Nope. Just make sure we have access to the backyard and an outdoor spigot. We'll send photos when done.
