Paving Stone Patio Restoration in Alexandria, VA

Project Overview

StraightLine Power Washing recently completed a paving stone patio cleaning and restoration project in Alexandria, VA. The client's patio had been neglected for years and had thick moss, weeds, vines and mold almost completely covering the stones. Initially the client wanted just a thorough cleaning to remove the extensive mold and moss growth, but StraightLine was confident they could restore its original beauty so the client agreed to a restoration service because they were planning to sell the home and wanted to achieve its full value.

Client Requirements

The client needed a detailed restoration of their stone patio, which had become heavily covered in mold and moss. They aimed to improve the patio’s appearance to achieve full resale value for their property.

Challenges Faced

The main challenge was the pervasive mold and moss covering the stone patio, making it both unsightly and slippery. It was essential to remove these growths without damaging the stone surface or the surrounding garden.

Solution and Process

StraightLine Power Washing utilized a methodical approach to address the mold and moss issue. First, we manually removed the bulk of the moss. We then applied a powerful cleaning solution specifically formulated to break down mold and moss on stone surfaces. After allowing the solution to work, we used a high-pressure washer to thoroughly clean the patio, ensuring all contaminants were removed while preserving the stone’s integrity. Lastly, after allowing the surface to completely dry, we filled the stone joints with new polymeric sand to complete the restoration.

Results

The stone patio was completely transformed after our cleaning service. All mold and moss were effectively removed revealing a clean and inviting patio surface. The client was extremely pleased with the results and appreciated the restored beauty and safety of their outdoor space.
