Do you want to clean up your outside areas? The attractiveness of outdoor spaces is increased by keeping patios, walkways, masonry, stonework and driveways in good condition. Even if you’ve kept your areas tidy, moss, algae and stubborn black patches can soon take over – looking very unsightly.

Fortunately, pressure washing washing can help you revive your outdoor areas.

Mould, mildew, lichen or algae are common causes of black stains on patios and other stone surfaces. These unattractive patches flourish in moist, shady places, frequently beneath trees or in places with inadequate drainage. Large portions of your patio and paving may eventually get covered with black spots, which will diminish their aesthetic appeal and create slip hazards.

So how can lichen and algae be removed most effectively?

A combination of rigorous cleaning and preventive actions are needed to permanently remove lichen and algae. However the easiest way to get rid of these tenacious growths is to employ pressure wash cleaning, which uses high-pressure water to dislodge and (if used appropriately) wipes away lichen and algae from exterior surfaces without causing damage.
