Patio & Driveway Wash
Pressure washing for patios, paths and drives. Moss and black spot lifted, joints re-sanded.
£80 minimum visit · re-sanding included
ELawnCare jet washes patios, paths and driveways across Cambridge and the surrounding villages, lifting moss, algae and black spot with commercial-grade pressure equipment. Joints are re-sanded afterwards as standard, which is what actually makes the clean last rather than greening up again within a few weeks.
From £4 per m² with an £80 minimum visit. Pressure is matched to the surface, older or softer slabs are washed more gently to avoid pitting, and anything uncertain gets tested on a hidden section first.

Slab patios, paths and steps laid level on a properly prepared base, with pointed joints.

Patios, garden paths, driveways and any hard surface prone to moss, algae or general weathering. Cambridge's damp winters and shaded, tree-lined gardens both accelerate this build-up, particularly on north-facing areas that stay damp longer after rain.
The wash lifts the surface grime and organic growth, and re-sanding the joints afterwards stops weeds seeding straight back into open gaps and stops slabs shifting underfoot over time.
Spring and early autumn suit jet washing best, since a dry spell afterwards lets the new sand set properly in the joints. Washing in the depths of winter leaves the surface damp for longer, which brings moss back faster than a wash timed for drier weather.
From £4 per m² with an £80 minimum visit, joints re-sanded as standard. A typical small patio therefore lands near the minimum, with larger driveways priced straight off the measured area.
Not when the pressure is matched to the surface. Older or softer slabs are washed at lower pressure, which takes a little longer but avoids pitting the face. Anything questionable is tested on a hidden section first.
Typically a year or two in Cambridge, depending on shade and drainage. North-facing surfaces under trees green up fastest. Re-sanded joints and good drainage both extend how long the clean holds.
Yes, driveways, paths and patios are all covered at the same £4 per m² rate with an £80 minimum. Block paving and natural stone are both handled at a pressure suited to the material.
