Driveway and patio cleaning removes the layers of dirt, algae, moss and surface staining that gradually build up through regular use and changing weather. These deposits make paving look older than it is and often leave the surface slippery after rain. Cleaning the surface properly restores its appearance while making paths, patios and driveways easier to use throughout the year.
At Hampshire & Dorset Guttering Maintenance, each job starts by looking at the condition of the paving rather than treating every surface the same way. Concrete, block paving and natural stone all collect dirt differently, and heavily shaded areas usually need more attention than those exposed to direct sunlight. With over 30 years of practical exterior property maintenance experience, Tom carries out the work himself, focusing on thorough cleaning that removes the build-up rather than simply rinsing the surface.

One of the most common jobs involves a patio that has gradually turned green around the edges. Homeowners often believe the paving has permanently changed colour, but the surface is usually covered with layers of algae, moss and compacted dirt that have accumulated over several seasons. Many have already tried scrubbing individual slabs or using shop-bought patio cleaners with little lasting improvement because the contamination remains deep within the textured surface.
Another regular situation is a block-paved driveway with dark patches where vehicles are parked and lighter areas where tyres rarely pass. The first assumption is often that the blocks need replacing. After inspection, the issue usually comes down to years of embedded grime, organic growth and traffic residue. Cleaning isolated areas creates uneven results, while a full pressure wash restores a more consistent appearance across the driveway.


Outdoor surfaces change gradually, making it easy to overlook how much dirt has accumulated until the difference becomes obvious. Moss spreads into joints, algae develops in shaded corners and everyday use leaves the paving looking dull. Many homeowners spend weekends trying different cleaning products or small domestic pressure washers, only to find stubborn staining remains and slippery patches return after wet weather.
These are clear signs your paving needs professional attention:
Green algae returns shortly after repeated cleaning attempts.
Black spots remain across patio slabs after washing.
Driveway looks patchy with persistent dark traffic marks.
Paths become slippery during damp or wet weather.

The visit begins with a careful assessment of the paving, identifying the type of surface, the level of contamination and any areas requiring extra attention. Pressure washing is then carried out methodically to remove built-up dirt, moss, algae and surface deposits while working evenly across the area for a consistent finish.
Once complete, the difference is immediately visible. Colours become clearer, paving joints are free from loose organic growth and the surface feels cleaner underfoot. Areas that previously looked neglected become easier to maintain because fresh debris is less likely to cling to existing build-up. Hampshire & Dorset Guttering Maintenance is ready to help whenever your driveway or patio needs practical, thorough cleaning carried out with care and attention.
