1. What do you include under “sidewalk & patio cleaning”?
We deep-clean concrete, pavers, brick, or stone hardscapes with professional surface washers and eco-safe soaps to lift grime, algae, and stains.
2. Why do Golden Eagle walkways turn green so fast?
The golf-course ponds, morning dew, and heavy tree canopy keep surfaces damp, giving algae and mildew a head start.

Most residents schedule a yearly wash; shady, north-facing areas may benefit from a light touch-up every six months.

Concrete, clay brick, travertine, limestone, bluestone, stamped overlays, exposed aggregate, and composite decking.
