Block paving is a popular choice for driveways, patios, and pathways, but over time it can get dirty, collect moss, and even become slippery. A professional jet wash can bring block paving back to life, restoring its clean, vibrant appearance. Here’s a look at our tried-and-true process at Evolve Contract Solutions and some expert tips on how we achieve these results.

Step-By-Step Process for Cleaning Block Paving

1. Power Washing the Edges

We start by carefully power washing the edges of the block paving area. This helps loosen up dirt, moss, and other materials that accumulate around the edges. By starting here, we ensure that no dirt or debris moves back into the cleaned areas later in the process.

2. Clearing Loose Dirt and Debris

Next, we use a high-powered wheeled brush to sweep away loose debris from the main areas of the paving. This includes dirt, small stones, leaves, and moss that have settled into the cracks. Removing this initial layer by hand with a brush helps prepare the surface for a thorough, deeper clean.

3. Application of Cleaning Chemicals

After the initial clearing, we apply a professional-grade chemical cleaner specifically designed for block paving. This cleaning solution works to break down tough dirt, algae, and moss that regular water pressure alone might not remove. We leave this to sit for about 10–15 minutes, giving it time to penetrate the grime and lift stubborn stains from the surface.

4. Using the Jet Wash Lance for Deep Cleaning

Once the cleaning solution has done its job, we move on to jet-washing the area using a high-pressure lance. This tool delivers concentrated pressure that dislodges even the toughest grime while also clearing out any lingering moss, algae, and dirt in the cracks. Starting at one end and moving systematically across the area ensures even, complete cleaning without leaving streaks or patches.

5. Final Rinse and Brush

After jet washing, we rinse the surface thoroughly to remove any remaining chemicals and dirt. We then brush any leftover water off the surface, leaving it fresh and clean.

Equipment We Use for Block Paving Cleaning

At Evolve Contract Solutions, we use a combination of professional-grade tools to ensure top-quality results:

• High-Powered Pressure Washer: Our industrial-grade pressure washer delivers the ideal amount of force to remove dirt and stains without damaging the blocks.

• Lance Attachment: This allows us to target specific areas with more concentrated pressure, ideal for cleaning between blocks.

• Wheeled Brush: To clear away surface dirt and debris efficiently.

Chemicals Used for Block Paving Cleaning

The chemicals we use are professional-grade cleaners specifically designed for outdoor paving surfaces. They are formulated to break down moss, algae, and dirt while being safe for the environment. Once applied, they work quickly to lift grime, and when paired with jet washing, they leave block paving looking new again. Tip: Always check if your paving is sealed before applying chemicals, as it can affect how well the cleaner works and protect the surface from future buildup.

Expert Tips for Maintaining Your Block Paving

1. Regular Sweeping: Regularly brushing the area helps prevent moss and algae from taking root. It also keeps small debris from working its way into the cracks.

2. Annual Jet Washing: An annual deep clean can prevent stubborn buildup and help maintain your block paving’s original look.

3. Apply a Sealant: After a thorough clean, applying a sealant can help protect the blocks from future staining and make them easier to clean.
