How Often Should You Pressure Wash Your Patio or Driveway in South Wales?
Pressure washing is an essential part of maintaining your outdoor spaces. At
A1 Orchard Landscaping, we are frequently asked how often patios and driveways should be cleaned. Here’s everything you need to know.
The Ideal Frequency
Most patios and driveways in South Wales should be pressure washed once a year. This helps to remove dirt, moss, and algae before they cause staining or surface damage. High-traffic areas may benefit from cleaning every 6–9 months.
Factors That Affect Cleaning Frequency
- Location: Shaded or damp areas are more prone to moss and algae.
- Weather: Wet winters can lead to more frequent cleaning needs.
- Surface type: Block paving may require more attention due to weeds growing in the joints.
- Usage: Heavily used driveways will need cleaning more often.
Why Regular Cleaning Matters
Our professional pressure washing service prevents moss, algae, and dirt from becoming embedded in your surfaces. Regular cleaning helps extend the life of your patio or driveway and keeps your property looking its best.
