The main purpose of pressure washing garden paths is to increase safety by reducing slipperiness by effectively removing dirt, moss, lichen, and sediment, restoring the surface's aesthetic appearance.
In cases of heavy overgrowth, I first remove weeds from cracks using dedicated tools.
The best results I have had are with a rotary nozzle (for stubborn dirt) or an attachment for cleaning flat surfaces (the so-called "T-Racer"), which prevents splashing and ensures an even effect.
Only in cases of severe dirt do I use chemical agents, selecting them appropriately for the material (e.g., neutral pH for natural stone).
Impregnation: After washing and drying the surface, I ask my client to consider impregnation to protect the washed surface from dirt and make future cleaning easier.
Approximate costs in 2026:Standard cleaning costs start at 4 euros per m² and depend on the level of dirt.
