Palo Alto properties typically have mature landscaping — large oaks, liquid ambers, and eucalyptus that drop significant organic matter onto concrete and paver surfaces year-round. Combined with the Bay Area's wet winters, organic staining, algae, and moss accumulate quickly. Backyard patios, pool decks, and driveways that go more than a year or two without cleaning develop a dark film that no garden hose removes.
Standard concrete is porous — it absorbs oil, rubber marks, and organic compounds over time. Pre-treatment with appropriate degreasers or algaecides, followed by systematic pressure washing, pulls embedded staining out of the surface. The result is concrete that looks close to its original color rather than the grey-green it becomes after a few seasons.
Many Palo Alto properties have mixed materials — concrete driveway, paver patio, flagstone walkway. Different materials require different pressure settings and techniques. We adjust per surface rather than running the same setting across everything.

Concrete driveways, concrete patios, paver surfaces, flagstone, pool decks, and walkways. We adjust pressure and technique per surface material — not a single setting across everything.
Oil requires pre-treatment with degreaser before pressure washing. Fresh oil comes out cleanly. Old deeply-set oil will improve significantly, but a stain shadow may remain — we set accurate expectations before starting.
Not when done correctly. We use 2000–3000 psi for standard concrete and keep the nozzle moving. Older or compromised concrete gets lower pressure — we assess condition before starting.
Most residential projects — a driveway and patio together — take 3–6 hours. Larger properties with multiple areas may take a full day.
