Who They're For and What They Solve
Patio cleaning is the professional removal of dirt, algae, mold, mildew, moss, and staining from outdoor hardscape surfaces. Depending on the material, it uses pressurized water, low-pressure soft washing, or specialized cleaning solutions. The goal is a uniformly clean surface with no damage to the material underneath.
You need it when your patio has darkened, developed green or black patches, or become slippery underfoot. Homeowners typically book before hosting, before listing a property, or after winter leaves behind a season of organic buildup. Paver and stone patios also need it when joint sand has washed out and weeds appear.
Left alone, organic growth holds moisture against the surface and accelerates breakdown. Algae and mildew make patios genuinely slippery, which is a real fall risk. Rust, grease, and fertilizer stains bond deeper over time and become far harder to lift. Cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the surface safe and prevents permanent discoloration.
Is It Time?
Most people wait longer than they should. Here is what tells you it’s time.
Our Services
Patio cleaning is not one method. We match the approach to your material, your staining, and the condition of the surface.
We use a rotating surface cleaner rather than a wand, which delivers even pressure across the whole slab. That eliminates the zebra striping you get from freehand washing. Best for poured concrete, broom-finish, and exposed aggregate patios with general grime.
Pavers need controlled pressure so joint sand isn't blasted out. We clean, then refill joints with polymeric or standard sand to lock pavers in place and slow weed growth. This is what keeps a paver patio flat and stable long term.
Delicate and sealed surfaces cannot take high pressure without etching or stripping the finish. We apply a cleaning solution that kills organic growth at the root, dwell it, then rinse at low pressure. The result lasts longer than pressure alone.
Rust, grease, battery acid, fertilizer, and leaf tannin each respond to a different product. We identify the stain type first, treat the spot, then clean the full surface so everything finishes evenly.
Not sure which approach your situation needs? We assess first and recommend only what’s necessary, no upsells.
Why Homeowners Choose Mr. Local Services
Every patio gets identified by material before anything is turned on. Concrete, pavers, travertine, and stamped surfaces each get different pressure and chemistry. This is how damage gets avoided.
You get a written price before we start, based on square footage and condition. No hourly billing, no discovered add-ons, no invoice that surprises you afterward.
If we miss a spot or you're not happy with a section, we come back and re-clean it at no charge. That has been our policy for 25 years.
Landscaping gets pre-wet and rinsed down after. Furniture is moved and replaced. We haul our own water waste and leave the area tidy.
How It Works
Call 951-458-6466 and tell us the material and rough size. Most quotes are returned the same business day, often over the phone.
We confirm surface type, identify staining, and check joint condition on paver patios. You get the final flat-rate price before any work starts.
Plants pre-wet, solution applied and dwelled where needed, surface cleaned evenly, full rinse. Most residential patios finish in two to four hours.
We re-sand paver joints if applicable, replace your furniture, and walk the patio with you before leaving. Anything you flag gets addressed on the spot.
Pricing
We price patio cleaning flat-rate by square footage and condition, not by the hour. Most residential patios fall between $150 and $450, with a typical 300 to 500 square foot patio landing around $200 to $325.
Four things move that number: total square footage, the surface material, how heavy the organic growth or staining is, and whether paver joints need re-sanding. Stubborn rust or grease treatment adds a modest line item because it requires separate product and dwell time.
You get the full price in writing before we begin. Call 951-458-6466 and we can usually give you a close estimate over the phone in under five minutes.
Not when pressure is controlled and joints are re-sanded afterward. Damage happens when someone uses maximum pressure on every surface regardless of material.
Most lift substantially with the right product. Deeply set rust in porous concrete may lighten rather than vanish, and we tell you that before starting.
Once a year for most properties. Shaded or heavily wooded areas often benefit from every eight to ten months.
Pressure relies on force, soft washing relies on cleaning solution at low pressure. Our soft washing service is what we use on stone, travertine, and anything sealed or delicate.
Most residential patios are finished in two to four hours. Large or heavily stained surfaces can run into a full day.
No, as long as we have access to the patio and an outdoor water spigot. Many customers book while at work.
Call 951-458-6466 with your patio's material and approximate size. Same-day quotes, most jobs booked within the week.
