Sidewalk & Walkway Cleaning for Pavers is one of the jobs we do most often in East Chattanooga, TN. Typical jobs cost $100-$250, and you approve the price before we begin. On pavers, the method we use is pressure wash with a surface cleaner.
How we clean it
Cleaning solution: A paver cleaner or pre-treatment; efflorescence needs a dedicated cleaner.
Cleaning pavers safely
Cleaning concrete and brick pavers removes weeds, moss and stains, but some joint sand washes out with them. Re-sanding the joints, often with polymeric sand, and sealing afterward keeps weeds and ants out and holds the pavers in place.
Avoid: A narrow tip aimed into the joints, which blows out sand and can loosen pavers.
How often: Clean every 1-2 years; reseal every 2-4 years.

Shaded driveways, walkways and pool decks in Tennessee grow black mildew and algae quickly and can become slippery. Pre-treating the growth before washing, and post-treating after, keeps them clean longer than pressure alone.
Spring pollen season in Tennessee coats houses, cars, screens and patios in a yellow-green film, and pollen gives mildew something to feed on. Many homeowners book their wash after pollen season ends so the house stays clean longer.
Red clay soil is common in parts of Tennessee. Rain splashes it onto the bottom of the siding, walls and walkways, and its iron-rich color can stain light surfaces. It usually needs a dedicated clay or rust cleaner rather than pressure alone.
