Monmouth has a lot of period houses with long-standing gardens, and the old paving, brick paths and stone steps that come with them. Those surfaces deserve a considered approach. We offer power washing for patios, paths, steps, driveways, block paving, decking and walls, using pressure that suits the material, and removing algae, moss and dirt without stripping away character.
Tall hedges and mature trees add shade, so green growth is common even on well-kept properties. We cover plants and doors, test a small patch first, and tidy up after the job. We also cover Rockfield, Dixton, Overmonnow and Trellech, as well as homes in and around the town centre.
With a period property in Monmouth, the garden paving may be many decades old. Soft stone can lose its face if the pressure is too high, and old pointing can crumble. Before cleaning we look closely at the condition of the joints, the hardness of the material and any cracks or loose pieces, and we begin with a low setting, only going higher where it is clearly safe.
Sometimes the right decision is to wash lightly and accept a little weathering. A surface that has aged naturally has a charm that a harsh clean would spoil. We would always rather leave a trace of patina than risk damage, and we will explain our thinking so that you are happy with how the work is approached. Your house and garden are the guide.
Tall hedges and mature garden trees in Monmouth mean long stretches of shade, and dripping foliage keeps paths and walls damp. Moss builds up at the base of walls and along the edges of paving where water sits. Cleaning those edges properly matters, because that is where regrowth starts. We take our time along borders and wall bases and rinse thoroughly so no residue is left behind.
Modern additions such as a recent patio, block-paved drive or decking get firmer or more specialised treatment. Decking is washed along the grain, paving is cleaned in steady, overlapping passes, and we offer re-sanding and sealing if you wish. Plants, pots, air bricks and door thresholds are protected throughout, whichever surface we are working on. Nothing is rushed. Each surface gets what it needs.
The more you can tell us about the age and type of your surfaces, the better. Mention any areas you are worried about, such as crumbling mortar or delicate stone. We will talk it through, agree a sensible plan, and carry out the job carefully. The result is a cleaner, brighter Monmouth garden that still looks like it belongs to the house.

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.

Tree surgery is priced job by job rather than from a fixed list, so this guide explains what moves the cost up or down and how to get a firm figure.

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.

Often, yes, using lower pressure and a careful distance. Where the pointing is already crumbling, water can wash more out, so we will point it out beforehand. We will agree with you what is sensible before we go ahead.
We take care to protect them. Delicate plants are covered or moved where possible, and we keep the spray directed away from borders. Run-off goes toward drains rather than flowerbeds. Tell us which plants matter most so we can take extra care around them.
