Gardens around Carmarthen tend to be big, green and damp, which is exactly what algae and moss like. If your patio has turned slippery, your drive looks dark and tired, or your paths are furred with green, power washing brings the original surface back into view. We clean patios, driveways, block paving, decking, steps and walls, and we work with the surface rather than blasting it.
Before we start, we look at what the surface is made of, because stone, paving, timber and render all take different pressure. We cover the plants and doors that need protecting, wash from the top down so dirt does not run back over clean areas, and leave the ground tidy. We also cover Llangunnor, Johnstown, Nantgaredig and Abergwili.
Carmarthen sits in the Towy valley with farmland on every side, and many of the gardens here are large, with field hedges, mature trees and plenty of shade. That mix keeps paving and paths damp for much of the year. Shaded patios grow algae first, then moss settles into the joints. Left alone, the film turns slippery underfoot and the surface slowly looks older than it really is.
Stone houses and rural plots often have long paths, steps and boundary walls as well as the patio itself. All of these collect grime, leaf mould and lichen from the surrounding trees. A proper wash lifts that build-up in one go, and the surfaces are far easier to keep on top of once they are clean. We will tell you honestly what is worth washing and what is better left alone.
Hard surfaces such as concrete, block paving and tarmac take stronger pressure, and we work across them in even passes so you do not end up with stripes. Soft or old stone is different, because some of it marks easily. There we use lower pressure and keep the nozzle further back. Decking is washed along the grain, never across it, so the timber is not lifted or furred.
We protect plants, pots and door thresholds before we begin, and we keep water away from air bricks and electrical fittings. Dirty run-off is directed toward drains and borders rather than across your lawn. On block paving the joint sand can wash out, so if you would like it re-sanded and sealed after cleaning in Carmarthen, we can do that too. It helps keep weeds and moss from returning quite as quickly.
Power washing works whenever the ground is not frozen and the surface has a chance to dry afterwards, so there is no need to wait for a particular season. Tell us which areas bother you most and we will look at them with you, then agree what to clean. Because Carmarthen gardens are often large, it helps to say where your outside tap is. We bring the rest and clear up when we finish.

We work across South Wales. Pick your town to see how power washing works locally.
Most South Wales patios need a proper clean about once a year, though shade, damp and nearby trees can mean more often or a little less.

There is no single perfect month for every tree, but winter suits many species, and this guide shows how timing, nesting birds and weather affect the choice.

Yes. Long drives and winding paths are common out here and we simply work through them section by section. We tidy as we go so the finished stretches stay clean, and we can include steps, edges and nearby walls in the same visit.
We normally connect to an outside tap, so let us know where yours is when you get in touch. If there is no convenient supply, mention it at the start and we will talk through what is possible before any work is booked.
