Driveway & Patio Cleaning
Our driveway & patio cleaning service will keep all your hard surfaces looking great.
Weeds and moss often invade landscaped areas and cause them to become unsightly.
They can also cause your hard surfaces to become slippery and unsafe. This is especially true for your driveway and patio when wet.
Our professional grade products will tackle weeds and kill moss in between patio or paving slabs and tiles, around building perimeters, amongst gravel or within wooded areas.
Biocides can be applied a couple of weeks prior to cleaning if needs be, to ensure all the weeds and vegetation are dead.
There are hundreds of different weeds which will need to be kept in check with various professional strength weed killers.
And different families of weeds will require a different weed killer for the treatment to be effective.
Other options for weed control are the new non-chemical alternatives:
- Super-heated hot water process
- Professional thermic hot air blowers – that forces high velocity hot air over the leaf of a plant.
- Powered weed brush and sweeper
- Softwashing and pressure washing service – for more information see our building and masonry cleaning.
The super-heated hot water and hot air process instantly causes a thermal shock.
This breaks the chlorophyll producing part of the plant, so that the process of photosynthesis is prevented.
By destroying these cells, the plant is unable to convert light into energy. It therefore starves the plant, which starts showing signs of dying within 72 hours.
However, you will usually start to see the effects of the heat treatment within a few minutes.
