Slippery, algae-covered paths are a safety hazard — not just an eyesore. We pressure wash garden paths, footpaths, steps and walkways, making them clean, safe and looking their best. Free quotes, fully insured.
A green, algae-covered path is one of the most common slip hazards around the home — particularly in winter when frost combines with wet algae to create an extremely dangerous surface. Keeping paths clean isn't just about appearances, it's a genuine safety concern.
We clean all types of garden and external paths across Lincolnshire — from simple concrete slabs to decorative Indian stone, brick edging and stepped entrances. Every path type is assessed and cleaned with the appropriate technique and pressure.
Steps and sloped paths get special attention — we ensure nothing is left slippery. The full path area is cleaned, including edges and the gaps between slabs where moss tends to accumulate.

Heavy algae growth, black spot and stubborn organic staining pre-treated to loosen before pressure washing begins.
Systematic cleaning from top to bottom (or high end to low end on sloped paths), ensuring all algae and grime is removed.
Path edges, border areas and joints between slabs given specific attention — the spots where moss and weeds establish first.
We walk the full path to confirm it's clean, safe and free of residue. Any loose slab issues flagged for your attention.
Algae forms an extremely slippery biofilm on path surfaces — far more dangerous than plain wet stone. In autumn and winter, wet algae combined with frost becomes treacherous. Cleaning the path eliminates the hazard and keeps your family, visitors and postman safe. It also prevents moss from gradually forcing apart slab joints.
We can clean around areas with structural issues, but we'll flag any loose or cracked slabs we find during the assessment. Pressure washing directly onto a heavily cracked or lifting slab could worsen the damage, so we work carefully around problem areas and recommend getting those repaired separately.
A typical garden path takes 1–2 hours. Longer paths, stepped entrances or paths with heavy soiling take longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate at the quote stage.
Absolutely — and it usually makes sense to combine services for efficiency and better value. We can clean your driveway, patio and all paths in a single visit. Just mention everything when you enquire and we'll quote for the full job.
On a well-maintained, open path in a sunny position, you might get 2–3 years before cleaning is needed again. Shaded paths near trees or damp areas can green up faster — sometimes within a season. We can advise on appropriate biocide treatments or sealants to slow regrowth.
