Why Vancouver Concrete Gets So Dirty
Vancouver averages about 37.5 inches of precipitation a year, and most of it falls between October and March. December is usually the wettest month. All that moisture, combined with mild winters and plenty of shade from Douglas firs and big maples, gives moss, algae and mildew a long growing season. By spring, many driveways and walkways have turned green or black, especially on north-facing slabs and anywhere a tree hangs overhead.
That growth is more than a cosmetic problem. Algae and moss make concrete slick when it is wet, which is a real slip risk on steps and sloped driveways. Roots and organic matter also hold water in the joints and pores of the slab.
What We Pressure Wash in Vancouver
Driveways
We clean driveways with a rotary surface cleaner, a round machine that spins the water jets under a hood and cleans in even, overlapping passes. That avoids the “zebra stripes” a hand wand often leaves and pulls out the dirt, tire marks and organic growth. See driveway cleaning in Vancouver for more detail.
Sidewalks, Walkways and Curbs
Front walks, side yards and the strip of curb along the street collect grit, leaf stains and algae. Curbs in particular take on a dark film from road spray. Cleaning them alongside the driveway gives the front of the house a crisp, finished look from the street. For brown leaf stains that won’t wash out, see tannin stain removal.
Patios and Other Concrete
Back patios under trees or next to lawns get the worst of the green growth. We clean patios, pool decks, steps and garage aprons, and we take extra care around exposed aggregate and stamped concrete. Wood and composite decks are a different job. See patio and deck cleaning in Vancouver.
Moss on Concrete
Thick moss in expansion joints and along the shady edge of a slab needs to be broken loose and rinsed out of the cracks, not just sprayed over. Getting it out of the joints matters, because moss left in a crack simply regrows from there by the next wet season.
Commercial work: storefronts and parking lots, restaurants, bank exteriors, and dumpster pads. We’ve also started offering graffiti removal on concrete walls.

Vancouver’s wet season runs roughly October through March, and shaded concrete on the north side of a house, under firs or beside a downspout often stays damp for months. That’s where algae and moss take hold and walkways turn slick. Pressure washing at Mountain View Pressure Washing And Softwash is priced starting at $225, and the final quote depends on the square footage and how much growth or staining is on the surface. Driveways, sidewalks, patios, curbs and other hard surfaces get the pressure washer.
