Patio Cleaning
Professional Pressure Cleaning Specialists | Sunshine Coast
Surface Co. specialises in professional patio and outdoor area pressure cleaning across the Sunshine Coast. Our pressure washing service transforms entertaining areas, pool surrounds, pathways, and outdoor living spaces by removing years of accumulated dirt, organic growth, and staining from pavers, concrete, natural stone, and aggregate surfaces. Using commercial-grade pressure cleaning equipment, we deliver superior results that make your outdoor spaces safe, attractive, and ready for entertaining.
Our Method: Pressure Cleaning
Patio and outdoor area cleaning uses professional high-pressure cleaning (pressure washing) with commercial surface cleaners to achieve even, thorough results. Hard surfaces like pavers, concrete, and natural stone require the mechanical action of pressure washing to remove embedded dirt, organic growth, and staining that soft washing cannot address. We use appropriate pressure settings for each surface type and combine pressure cleaning with pre-treatment solutions for optimal results without surface damage.

Safety & Quality Assurance
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you clean all types of outdoor paving?
Yes. We clean all paving materials including concrete pavers, natural stone (sandstone, bluestone, limestone), travertine, exposed aggregate, stamped concrete, and brick paving. We adjust our pressure cleaning technique and chemical selection based on material type. Delicate stones like travertine receive gentler treatment, while concrete pavers can handle more aggressive cleaning.
Will pressure washing remove the sand between my pavers?
Some sand displacement is normal during professional pressure cleaning, but we use surface cleaners and appropriate techniques to minimize loss. If significant sand is removed, we can re-sand joints (additional cost) to maintain paver stability and appearance. Many clients choose to re-sand and seal after cleaning for best long-term results.
Should I seal my patio after pressure cleaning?
Yes, sealing is highly recommended after pressure cleaning. Sealing protects pavers and stone from staining, reduces ongoing maintenance, enhances colour, inhibits weed growth, and stabilizes joint sand. Surfaces must be clean before sealing, so immediately after professional pressure cleaning is the perfect time. We can provide sealing quotes if requested.
Can you remove all stains from my outdoor pavers?
Most stains can be removed or significantly reduced with professional pressure cleaning and appropriate pre-treatment chemicals. Organic stains (leaves, dirt, mould) usually come out completely. Oil and rust stains can be challenging on unsealed pavers and may not fully remove if deeply penetrated. We'll always be honest about expectations during your free assessment.
How long does patio pressure cleaning take?
Most residential patios and outdoor areas take 1-3 hours depending on size and condition. Large or heavily stained areas may take longer. Complex areas with lots of furniture, planters, or intricate edges require additional time. We'll provide an accurate estimate during your free quote.
How often should I have my patio pressure cleaned?
We recommend pressure cleaning patios and outdoor areas every 12-18 months for best results. Sealed surfaces stay cleaner longer and may only need cleaning every 18-24 months. Areas under heavy tree cover or in damp, shaded locations benefit from annual cleaning. Regular maintenance prevents buildup and keeps your outdoor spaces looking great.
