Garden hard landscaping is where most household slips happen, and steps are the worst of it - a shaded, wet, uneven surface people use in a hurry.
Steps first
If budget is limited, do the steps. They carry the highest risk and the smallest area, which makes them the smallest job with the biggest safety return.
This guide sits under our Pressure Washing work, covering 20-mile radius of Plymouth.
Walls and piers
Rendered and stone garden walls green up faster than the house because they are lower, wetter and shaded by planting. They also frame the property from the street.
Protecting planting
Borders, lawns and pots are planned around before any product is used. Masking and rinsing are part of the job, not an optional extra.
Questions we get on this
- Will treatment harm my plants?
- Not with correct masking, dilution and rinsing. We plan it before we start.
- Can you clean steps only?
- Yes, and it is a sensible small job.
- Do you clean garden furniture?
- Ask when you enquire and we will tell you what we can include.
