San Jose backyards run on interlocking concrete pavers — patios under pergolas, side-yard walkways, and border courses around planting beds. The blended gray-and-tan color is the whole point of pavers, and it is the first thing to disappear under dirt film, organic staining, and sprinkler runoff. This page shows a real San Jose job: a backyard paver patio and side-yard walkway cleaned back to their original color.
Covered patios and pergola-shaded pavers are usually the dirtiest surfaces on a San Jose property. They stay damp longer, get less direct sun, and collect what washes off the roof and planting beds. That is where algae and dark organic staining settle in first — and where cleaning makes the most visible difference.
Concrete pavers clean at a different pressure than poured concrete or natural stone. Too high and you etch the surface or blow out joint sand unevenly. Too low and the embedded organics stay put. We dial in pressure and nozzle angle for the paver, then treat the adjacent concrete so the whole area matches.

Evaluate paver condition, staining type, joint sand level, and access. Confirm pressure settings appropriate for the pavers and any adjacent concrete.
Apply pre-treatment to organic staining and algae — allows the solution to break down growth before pressure is applied.
Systematic pressure wash of the full paver surface — patio, walkway, and border courses — lifting staining, organics, and embedded dirt.
Clean the poured concrete strips and edges that meet the pavers so the finished area matches, then clear runoff from planting beds.
Rinse the surface and surrounding areas, check the joints, and walk the job with you. Resanding and sealing are available if the joints or finish call for it.

Yes, if done incorrectly. Excessive pressure or wrong nozzle angles can etch the surface or blow out joint sand unevenly. We match pressure to the paver material — typically 1500 to 2500 psi — and keep the nozzle at a consistent angle so the surface cleans without scarring.
Organic staining, algae, dirt film, sprinkler and runoff marks, and the general gray dinginess that builds up on pavers over time. Cleaning brings back the original blended color of the pavers — most owners are surprised how much tone was hiding under the buildup.
Some joint sand loss is normal during a thorough cleaning — it is part of the process, not a mistake. Where joints come up short we can resand after the surface dries, including polymeric sand that hardens and locks the joints. We will tell you during the estimate whether your joints need it.
Most backyard paver patios and walkways are done in a single visit of two to five hours, depending on square footage and how heavy the buildup is. The surface is walkable as soon as it dries.
Yes. Covered and shaded pavers are usually the dirtiest part of a San Jose backyard — they stay damp longer and get less sun, so organic buildup moves in faster. We work around posts, furniture, and planters and rinse everything down before we leave.
For most San Jose backyards, every one to two years keeps pavers looking their best. Shaded patios, surfaces under trees, and areas that catch sprinkler overspray build up faster and may need annual cleaning.
Sealing is available as an optional add-on once the surface has fully dried. It deepens the paver color and slows future staining. It is not required — many customers just have us clean — but we will price both options when we quote the job.
Yes. Most San Jose backyards mix pavers with poured concrete walkways and pads, and cleaning one without the other makes the contrast obvious. We quote the whole area so everything matches when we leave.
