Driveways, pavers and pool decks. Clean again.

It depends on the surface. Paver and poured-concrete decks handle honest pressure washing, which is higher pressure for hard flat surfaces. Travertine, sealed stone, and the painted or screened surfaces around the deck want soft washing, which is low pressure plus a cleaning solution. We read the deck and use the right one on each area rather than blasting everything the same.

Not the way we do it. We size the pressure to the paver and work at the right angle and distance, which cleans the surface without carving the stone or blowing the joint sand out. On paver decks that are due for it, we'll flag where the joints could use re-sanding rather than quietly stripping them out.

Yes, and it's exactly the surface to be careful with. Travertine is soft and porous, so high pressure pits it and opens the surface up to more staining. We clean it with a lower-pressure soft wash and a cleaning solution instead, which lifts the algae and grime while leaving the stone intact.

That slickness is almost always a film of algae and organic growth feeding on the constant moisture, not the surface itself. Clearing it off is what brings the grip back, and it's the main reason people book this. In a shaded, screened, rain-soaked deck it does grow back, so a recurring plan is how you keep the deck safe through the wet months instead of chasing it once a year.

Most Southwest Florida decks look best cleaned once or twice a year, more if the deck sits in heavy shade or under a cage that traps humidity. Since we're already set up on site, it's the natural time to add the screen enclosure and lanai so the whole pool area is done in one visit, all of it kept on rhythm with no contract.
