Exterior Cleaning
Hardscape Cleaning
Deep restoration-grade cleaning for the outdoor surfaces your property is experienced on — driveways, patios, pool decks, and walkways.
We restore driveways, patios, and pool decks for properties throughout Southern California's Los Angeles and Orange County communities.
Service Overview
What it is
Hardscape cleaning combines surface cleaning equipment, targeted detergents, and hand detailing to lift embedded soiling, rust, oil, and organic staining from paved surfaces.
Why it matters
Hardscapes are among the largest visual surfaces on a property. Uniform, properly cleaned hardscape immediately elevates how the entire property reads.

FAQ
Common questions
Can you remove oil and rust stains?
Many can be significantly reduced or removed with targeted treatment. Deeply penetrated staining is assessed individually.
Should joints be re-sanded?
For paver installations, joint sand is typically replenished after deep cleaning and before sealing.
How long does it take to dry?
Most surfaces are walkable shortly after service and fully dry within 24 hours.
Can you clean rust stains from concrete?
Yes. Rust and many other mineral stains respond to targeted treatment after the surface is properly cleaned.
Will cleaning remove weeds from paver joints?
Cleaning removes surface growth. Weeds with deep roots in the joint base may need additional attention or re-sanding.
Is cleaning safe for older or damaged pavers?
We inspect the surface first and adjust pressure and technique to avoid dislodging loose or aged material.
