Can you do steep coastal driveways?

Yes — and that's a useful one because salt and damp shade together cause faster moss return. Worth re-sanding and sealing in the same visit.

Do you deal with oil stains?

Hot-wash with degreaser pulls out most fresh oil. Older stains we treat with a poultice — we'll be honest about what's likely to come out fully.

What stops the weeds coming straight back?

Pre-treatment biocide kills the existing weeds and spores; kiln-dried sand fills the joints so the next ones don't get a foothold.

Should I get the patio sealed?

Optional. A breathable sealer locks in the colour, slows re-soiling and makes future cleans much faster. It's worth it on Indian sandstone and pattern-imprinted concrete.

Borders pre-wetted, biocide rinsed away from grass roots. Lawns are unaffected.
