Paver cleaning vs. pressure washing: what's the difference?

Pressure washing is a tool. Paver cleaning is a process. The difference shows in the joints and the finish.

Steve and Sam just finished cleaning and sealing my pool deck, patio, front walkway, and driveway. Because of their excellent reviews, my expectations were high—and they absolutely delivered. They arrived on time, were incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and treated my home as if it were their own. On top of that, they're super friendly. Don’t hesitate to hire them!

Paver Cleaning vs. Pressure Washing: What's the Difference? FAQs

Can I pressure wash my own pavers?

You can, but use a surface cleaner, keep the wand moving, and expect to lose joint sand. Plan to re-sand afterward.

Does pressure washing damage pavers?

Too much pressure or a narrow tip can etch the surface and blow out the joints.

Do I need to seal after cleaning?

It's the best time to seal, because the surface is clean and the joints need fresh sand anyway.
