  1. Kerb appeal (aka first impressions matter)

    A clean driveway or patio can make your whole place look newer and better cared for—without spending money on renovations.


    2. Safety

    Moss, algae, and grime get slippery. Cleaning reduces the chance of someone eating it on the way to the front door.


    3. Prevents damage

    Dirt, oil, mold, and weeds slowly break down concrete, pavers, and stone. Regular cleaning helps prevent cracks, staining, and erosion, which saves money long-term.


    4. Health & hygiene

    Mold, mildew, pollen, and bacteria love dirty outdoor surfaces. Cleaning them off improves air quality and reduces allergens.


    5. Weed and pest control

    Grime-filled cracks are basically an invitation for weeds, ants, and other pests. Cleaning helps keep them from settling in.


    6. Makes outdoor spaces usable again

    A clean patio feels like an actual living space—not a neglected slab. You’re more likely to sit out there, grill, or have people over.


    7. Boosts property value

    If you’re selling (or might someday), clean hardscaping signals “well maintained” to buyers and inspectors.


    8. It’s oddly satisfying

    Watching years of grime disappear is low-key therapeutic.

Are you lucky enough to have stone on your property? Is it looking black/green? Is it stained with biological growth?


Why should you remove this from your stonework?



Why You Should Clean Algae from #Stone

1. Safety:

Algae makes stone slippery, especially when wet — a major hazard on walkways, patios, or steps.

2. Preservation:

Algae traps moisture, which can slowly degrade stone surfaces, cause discoloration, and lead to moss or lichen growth.

3. Appearance:

It causes green, black, or dark stains, dulling the natural beauty of the stone.

4. Prevention:

Cleaning stops spores from spreading to other areas, helping maintain a clean look for longer.
