Patio Power Washing in Columbus, OH
Years of dirt, algae, and grime gone in a day. Safe, professional power and soft washing for every patio surface.
A professional power wash is the fastest way to transform a grimy patio — and the essential first step before any sealing. We lift out embedded dirt, algae, mold, mildew, and stains that a garden hose can't touch.
Just as important: we use the right pressure and technique for each surface. Blasting pavers or soft stone with too much pressure can strip joint sand or etch the surface — so we match the method (power wash vs. gentle soft wash) to your patio to clean it thoroughly without damage.
What Power Washing Removes
- Algae, moss, and mildew — the green/black film that makes patios slippery and ugly.
- Ground-in dirt and grime from years of weather and use.
- Organic and rust stains, leaf tannins, and more.
- Prep for sealing — a clean surface is required before any sealer goes down.

DIY vs. a Pro
Doing it yourself
- Rental washer at full pressure — risks etching stone or stripping joint sand
- Uneven, streaky results and missed embedded growth
- No follow-up protection, so grime returns quickly
Hiring Columbus Patio Pros
- Right pressure or soft-wash matched to each surface — thorough, damage-free
- Algae, mold, and stains lifted, not just rinsed
- Optional seal bundle to keep it clean far longer
Matching the Wash to Your Surface
“Power washing” isn’t one setting for every patio — using too much pressure on the wrong surface does more damage than the dirt did. Here’s how we match the method to what you have:
Concrete
Sound concrete handles higher-pressure washing well, so we can lift deep grime, tire marks, and organic staining fast — then recommend sealing to keep it that way.
Pavers
Moderate pressure only — too much strips the joint sand and pits the pavers. We clean, then re-sand the joints so weeds and shifting don’t come right back.
Natural stone
Flagstone, travertine, and limestone are soft and etch easily, so we soft-wash at low pressure with pH-appropriate cleaners instead of blasting them.
Wood & composite
Adjoining decks and composite surfaces get a gentle soft-wash — high pressure furs wood grain and can void composite warranties.
Washing Is Step One — Then Protect It
A power wash makes a patio look new, but a bare, clean surface re-stains and weathers fast. The lasting result comes from sealing the clean surface, matched to your material:
- Concrete patio sealing — protect a freshly cleaned concrete patio.
- Paver cleaning & sealing — clean, re-sand, and seal in one visit.
- Natural stone patio care — surface-safe cleaning and sealing for stone.
Shaded patio that turns green and slick again every year no matter how often it gets washed? That's a living algae cycle, not a dirt problem — our guide to why a patio stays green and slippery explains why it keeps returning and how the clean-then-seal combination breaks the cycle for good.

Patio Power Washing — Questions, Answered
How much does patio power washing cost?
A standalone patio power wash typically runs $150–$500 depending on size and how dirty it is. Many customers pair it with sealing for the best long-term result — ask for a bundled estimate.
Will power washing damage my pavers or stone?
Not when it’s done right. We use lower pressure or a soft-wash approach on pavers and natural stone to avoid stripping joint sand or etching the surface — power isn’t always the answer, technique is.
Should I seal after power washing?
Highly recommended. Washing removes the grime; sealing protects the clean surface from re-staining, fading, and freeze-thaw damage. It’s the one-two punch that keeps your patio looking good for years.
Do you also wash driveways and walkways?
Yes — while we specialize in patios, we can clean adjoining concrete like walkways and driveways. Just mention it for your estimate.
