Concrete & Paver Cleaning in Kyle, TX

Concrete patios, pool decks, and pavers in Kyle accumulate contamination from multiple sources: algae and moss growth in shaded or damp areas, efflorescence (white mineral deposits that leach from concrete), organic staining from leaves and plant debris, and general atmospheric dirt. Pool decks have the additional challenge of calcium and mineral deposits from pool water splash and chemical exposure.

We clean concrete patios, pool decks, walkways, pavers, and hardscape surfaces across Kyle and Hays County. The approach depends on the surface type and contamination: standard concrete responds to high-pressure rotary surface cleaning; pavers require lower pressure to avoid displacing joint sand; pool decks with calcium deposits require chemical pre-treatment; efflorescence requires an acid wash treatment. We assess the surface and contamination before starting and use the appropriate method.

Efflorescence is the white, chalky deposit that appears on concrete and masonry surfaces — caused by water carrying soluble salts to the surface where they crystallize as the water evaporates. It's common on new concrete and on surfaces with water infiltration issues. Light efflorescence can be removed with pressure washing and a diluted acid wash. Heavy efflorescence requires a dedicated efflorescence remover and may require multiple treatments.

Paver cleaning requires special attention to joint sand. Standard pressure washing at high pressure displaces the polymeric sand in paver joints, requiring re-sanding after cleaning. We use lower pressure (1,000–1,500 PSI) on pavers and a rotary surface cleaner that minimizes joint sand displacement. After cleaning, we can apply a paver sealer to protect the surface and re-stabilize the joint sand.

We use appropriate pressure for each surface — lower pressure on pavers to protect joint sand. We treat efflorescence with the correct chemical approach. We use pool-safe cleaning solutions on pool decks. Post-treatment algae inhibitor included on non-pool surfaces. Written quotes before any work begins.
