How often should you schedule professional jet washing to keep patios and driveways in good condition?
Most outdoor surfaces benefit from jet washing once or twice a year to remove grime, algae, stains, and built-up dirt.

Regular jet washing does more than improve appearance. It protects surfaces, prevents long-term damage, and maintains safety in your outdoor areas. At Lyuven Garden & Maintenance, we provide expert jet washing across South London, helping homeowners and property managers maintain clean, safe patios and driveways throughout the year. With professional equipment and years of experience, we ensure that every clean is thorough, efficient, and surface-safe.


Why Jet Washing Matters for Outdoor Surfaces

Protecting Patios from Damage

Patios collect moss, algae, grime, and stains over time. Without regular jet washing, these layers become slippery and can erode stone or paving. A clean patio lasts longer and remains safer for everyday use.

Maintaining Driveways with Power Washing

Driveways face constant pressure from weather, vehicles, and foot traffic. Oil stains, tyre marks, and weeds can build up quickly. Regular power washing removes these problem areas and preserves the surface underneath.

Improving Kerb Appeal Instantly

A clean patio or driveway improves the entire look of your property. Whether preparing for guests or planning to sell, a well-maintained exterior creates a strong first impression.


The Benefits of Regular Jet Washing

Extending the Life of Your Patio and Driveway

Consistent cleaning removes materials that cause decay, such as mould and algae. As a result, patios and driveways remain strong and durable for years.

Preventing Slips and Hazards

Algae and moss create slippery surfaces. Jet washing eliminates these dangers, reducing the risk of falls—especially important for children and elderly residents.

Saving Money on Future Repairs

Routine cleaning prevents deep staining and surface damage. Addressing small problems early means fewer costly repairs later.


When to Schedule Jet Washing in South London

Seasonal Patio Cleaning

Spring and autumn are ideal times for patio cleaning. These seasons bring moisture, which encourages algae growth. Regular cleaning keeps the surface fresh and safe.

Driveway Cleaning After Heavy Use

If you park vehicles daily, your driveway will accumulate oil and dirt more quickly. Jet washing removes these marks before they cause lasting stains.

Before Events or Property Inspections

A professional clean is perfect before garden gatherings, open house events, or routine property checks. It leaves your outdoor areas bright and welcoming.
