Regular sidewalk cleaning maintains appearance, improves safety, and enhances your property's curb appeal.

How often should I schedule sidewalk cleaning in your area?⌄
Most homes in your area benefit from sidewalk cleaning every 8–12 months. In dense shade or high‑pollen seasons, we may recommend 6–9 months to prevent biofilm from setting. During your quote we inspect exposure, gutters, and nearby vegetation, then set a custom cadence that preserves curb appeal without over‑cleaning.
Is sidewalk cleaning safe for landscaping and painted trim?⌄
Yes. We follow a three‑step protection process: pre‑wet vegetation and soil, apply the lightest effective solution with controlled fan patterns, then post‑rinse to neutralize. Around older trim and oxidized panels, we widen fan tips, lower solution strength, and increase standoff distance to avoid streaks or lifting.
What’s the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?⌄
Soft washing uses targeted detergents and low pressure to release organic growth without scarring surfaces—ideal for vinyl, fiber‑cement, stucco, painted wood, and trim. Traditional high‑pressure methods can force water behind laps, scar oxidized coatings, or etch softer materials. Our process favors chemistry first, pressure last.
Can you treat red clay stains and mildew common across the area?⌄
Yes. We pretreat clay and mildew‑prone zones with surfactant‑rich detergents that break soil bonds, allow measured dwell time, then soft‑rinse. For stubborn clay halos we follow with spot treatment and safe agitation. This preserves coatings while lifting discoloration on lower courses and splashback areas.
How long does a typical sidewalk cleaning take?⌄
Most homes take 2–4 hours depending on square footage, access, soil level, and lot layout. Corner lots, three‑story rear elevations, or heavy shade may add dwell and rinse time. We stage hoses to avoid flowerbeds, protect outlets and fixtures, and finish with a perimeter walk‑through for touch‑ups.
