Patio Cleans

Most residential patios and driveways benefit from professional cleaning every 12-24 months, depending on several factors including surrounding vegetation, local climate, and usage patterns. Properties with mature trees overhead, north-facing surfaces, or areas with high humidity typically require more frequent cleaning as they're prone to faster moss and algae growth. After professional cleaning, Swift can apply protective sealants that extend the time between cleanings while enhancing the appearance and durability of your outdoor surfaces.

Swift's cleaning specialists are trained to work with virtually all outdoor hard surfaces including concrete driveways, block paving, natural stone patios (limestone, sandstone, granite, slate), porcelain tiles, resin-bound surfaces, decorative concrete, brick pavers, yorkstone, and composite decking. We adjust our cleaning approach based on the specific material properties, age, and condition of your surfaces to ensure optimal results without causing damage. Each surface type requires different pressure levels, cleaning agents, and techniques to achieve the best outcome.

When performed by Swift's trained technicians, pressure washing will not damage properly installed and structurally sound surfaces. Our specialists carefully assess each surface and select appropriate pressure levels, nozzle types, and cleaning techniques specific to your material. Unlike DIY pressure washing, which can cause etching, surface erosion, or joint damage when performed incorrectly, our professionals understand the optimal approach for each surface type. For more delicate materials like certain natural stones or older surfaces, we employ gentler cleaning methods to ensure beautiful results without risking damage.

Swift follows environmentally responsible practices for all outdoor cleaning services. When necessary, we use containment systems that capture water runoff and prevent cleaning solutions from entering storm drains or waterways. Our technicians use biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning products whenever possible and apply them in controlled amounts to minimize environmental impact. After cleaning, we properly dispose of collected debris according to local regulations and ensure your property is left clean and tidy with no residual waste from the cleaning process.

Yes, Swift specializes in treating and removing stubborn stains from outdoor surfaces. Oil and grease stains are addressed with specialized degreasers and hot water extraction. Rust stains require specific acid-based treatments that target iron oxide without damaging the surrounding surface. Paint splatter and graffiti removal involves carefully selected solvents or media blasting techniques appropriate for your specific surface material. Our technicians are trained to identify stain types and apply the most effective treatment methods while protecting the integrity of your patio or driveway surface.

Swift provides comprehensive sealing services as an optional follow-up to our cleaning process. Once your patio or driveway is thoroughly cleaned and dried, we can apply professional-grade sealants that offer multiple benefits: protection against staining from oil, food, and organic matter; resistance to moisture penetration that causes freeze-thaw damage; reduced weed growth between pavers or stones; enhanced color depth and visual appeal; and significantly easier routine maintenance. We offer various sealant types including natural-look penetrating sealers, color-enhancing finishes, and jointing stabilizers for block paving.
