Palo Alto's brick walkways and paver drives — some older than the trees shading them — need cleaning that respects their age. Hot water, controlled pressure, correct distance: the surface comes clean, the joints and mortar stay exactly where history put them.
Your request is on its way to Nick. We'll be in touch within 24 hours.
Real before & afters from this service across the Peninsula.
Hot water does the heavy lifting on hardscape — oil, algae, and years of grime lift at lower pressure, which is what keeps brick mortar intact, paver joints filled, and exposed aggregate stones in place.
Pressure, temperature, and distance get matched to the material: concrete, brick, pavers, flagstone, and aggregate all behave differently, and treating them identically is how surfaces get ruined.
Palo Alto specifics: Palo Alto's historic districts — Professorville, Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park — carry century-old brick and heritage oaks, while Eichler neighborhoods demand the low-pressure care their siding and flat roofs were never designed to survive without. We work Professorville, Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park, College Terrace, and Midtown regularly.
Common Burlingame service calls: moss removal from shaded roofs, brick walkway restoration in Burlingame Park, driveway cleaning in Easton Addition, and gutter clearing across the whole city after the rainy season.
Hot-water pressure washing that lifts oil, algae, moss, and years of grime from concrete, brick, pavers, exposed aggregate, and stone — without stripping the surface.
Low-pressure, biodegradable-detergent washing for roofs, siding, stucco, and anything delicate. Kills moss, mildew, and algae at the root — 4–6x longer-lasting than blasting.
Hand-cleared gutters, flushed downspouts, and a full inspection for damage or sagging. The cheapest form of water-damage insurance your home will ever get.
