Why Does My Lafayette Patio Look Like That And Is It Actually Dangerous?
These are the questions Lafayette homeowners search before calling us. Here is exactly what is happening to your patio and porch and why it is not just an appearance problem:
-
My patio is covered in green slime and black patches what is it and is it slippery
The green coating is algae and biofilm thriving in Louisiana's shaded humid conditions. The black patches are Gloeocapsa Magma algae bonded to concrete and paver surfaces. Both are extremely slippery when wet algae reduces surface friction to near-ice levels and is a real fall hazard for children and older adults. Professional patio and porch washing with biocide pre-treatment kills both organisms at the cellular level and restores the anti-slip texture of your surface in a single visit.
-
My concrete patio has dark brown stains that won't come out are those leaf stains?
Yes. Oak and pecan leaves the most common trees in Lafayette neighborhoods leave deep tannin staining on concrete that bonds into the pore structure within days. Garden hose rinsing and consumer pressure washers cannot remove tannin at depth. This is the same deep penetration issue homeowners face when attempting patio floor cleaning and driveway cleaning with store-bought products. Hot water pressure washing with the correct pre-treatment breaks the tannin bond and extracts it completely restoring the original concrete color underneath.
-
Our wood deck looks gray and weathered can it be restored without replacing it?
In most cases, absolutely. Wood decks gray because surface oxidation, embedded mold, and atmospheric grime block the natural wood tone underneath. A professional low-pressure wash with a wood-safe brightener removes the gray layer and embedded mold without splintering the grain or raising the wood fiber. Most homeowners are shocked at how much original wood color is restored many believe they need to replace or repaint a deck when a proper professional wash would fix it completely at a fraction of the cost.
-
We want to use our patio for entertaining but it looks embarrassing how fast can you come?
We offer same-week scheduling across all of Lafayette and Acadiana. Most patio and porch washing jobs take 1 to 2 hours depending on size and stain severity. We can often schedule within 3 to 5 business days. Homeowners regularly book patio cleaning before family gatherings, holidays, and home sales once they see how dramatic the before-and-after difference is on concrete and paver surfaces.

How We Wash Your Patio & Porch 4 Steps to Results That Last
Professional patio and porch washing is not just spraying water on concrete. Every step is designed to deliver a safe, thorough clean on your specific surface without causing damage the same attention we bring to all our exterior services including driveway cleaning and house washing across Lafayette:
01
Quote over the phone for most jobs, no site visit required
Tell us your patio or porch size, surface type, and main stain issues. We quote most standard Lafayette patio jobs over the phone in 2 to 3 minutes with a firm price. For larger or multi-surface properties we do a quick on-site walkthrough. Either way, you get a real number before booking — not an estimate that grows into a surprise on the invoice.
02
Surface-specific pre-treatment the step most operators skip
For concrete with mold and algae: biodegradable biocide dwells 5 to 10 minutes to kill organisms at the root. For tannin staining: chemical pre-treatment breaks the oak and pecan tannin bond in the concrete pore structure. For wood decks: wood-safe brightener applied before the low-pressure wash. Skipping pre-treatment is what causes patio cleaning results to return in 4 to 8 weeks. We never skip it.
03
Surface-matched pressure and equipment applied
Concrete and pavers get a flat surface cleaner at the correct PSI — perfectly even results with zero wand marks. Wood decks get a low-pressure fan nozzle run with the grain to protect wood fibers. Flagstone and slate get pH-neutral soft wash to prevent etching. Covered porch ceilings, columns, and walls get low-pressure soft wash. Every surface gets exactly the method it needs — never one setting for everything.
04
Final rinse, photo documentation, your review before payment
We rinse the full area, remove all equipment, walk the space, and photograph before and after. Photos go directly to you before we request payment. If you are home, we do a walkthrough together. The job is not closed until you confirm the result meets the standard we agreed to. No pressure, no disputes.

What Lafayette Homeowners Say After Their Patio & Porch Washing
"Our concrete patio was covered in black mold and green slime and my kids kept slipping on it every time it rained. They explained the process before starting, used the right solution for our concrete surface, and it looked brand new by the time they finished. The best patio washing near us — completely safe for the kids and our garden around it."
"We have brick pavers on our front porch and I was really worried about someone high-pressure washing them and shifting the sand underneath. They used a completely different approach — low pressure with a cleaning solution — and the pavers look incredible without a single joint disturbed. Better results than I thought were possible for patio cleaning."
"We were about to replace our wood deck because it looked so gray and weathered. A neighbor suggested trying professional cleaning first. These guys came the same week, used a wood-safe process, and the deck looks like it did when we first installed it — original color, no gray, no mold. Saved us thousands. Affordable porch washing done the right way."

Patio & Porch Washing Lafayette LA FAQ's
What is the best way to clean a concrete patio in Louisiana?
The best method for a concrete patio in Louisiana is hot water pressure washing with biodegradable biocide pre-treatment using a flat surface cleaner attachment. Louisiana’s humidity embeds algae, mold, and leaf tannin deep into concrete pores — surface rinsing with a garden hose or consumer pressure washer only removes the visible layer and the problem returns within weeks. Professional patio cleaning with hot water at 180°F+ and biocide pre-treatment kills algae and mold at the cellular level and removes tannin from depth. Results last 12 to 18 months in Louisiana’s climate versus 4 to 8 weeks from DIY attempts.
How much does patio cleaning cost in Lafayette, LA?
Most Lafayette homeowners pay $120 to $200 for a standard concrete patio wash between 200 and 400 square feet. Smaller patios under 200 square feet run $80 to $130. Large patios and covered porches between 400 and 700 square feet typically run $180 to $280. Wood deck washing runs $150 to $260. Brick and paver patios run $130 to $220. Combining patio cleaning with driveway cleaning in the same visit saves 10 to 15 percent versus booking each separately. We provide a firm upfront price before scheduling — no surprise charges after the job.
Why is my patio so slippery and how do I make it safe again?
A slippery patio is caused by algae and biofilm growth on the concrete, paver, or stone surface. Algae reduces the coefficient of friction to near-ice levels when wet making it a genuine fall hazard for children, elderly adults, and pets. Anti-slip coatings are a temporary fix that does not address the underlying organism. Professional patio washing with biocide pre-treatment kills the algae completely at the cellular level and restores the original anti-slip texture of the surface. After a professional clean, most Lafayette patios remain slip-free for 12 to 18 months before significant algae regrowth occurs.
Can pressure washing restore a gray weathered wood deck?
Yes in most cases very dramatically. Wood decks gray because surface oxidation, embedded mold, and atmospheric grime cover the natural wood tone underneath. A professional low-pressure wash using a wood-safe brightener removes the gray surface layer and embedded mold without damaging wood fiber or causing splintering which high-pressure washing absolutely would do. Most homeowners are genuinely surprised at how much original wood color returns after a single professional porch cleaning visit. We strongly recommend having a deck professionally washed before making any decision about sanding, painting, or replacement the result frequently eliminates the need for those much more expensive steps.
What is the best patio washing service near me in Lafayette?
When searching for the best patio washing service near you in Lafayette, look for three things: a company that uses the correct pressure and method for your specific surface type concrete, pavers, wood, and flagstone all require different approaches; one that is fully licensed and insured with real verified Google reviews from actual Lafayette homeowners; and one that provides a firm upfront price before scheduling any work. We meet all three criteria, serve the entire Acadiana area with same-week availability, and use biodegradable solutions that are completely safe for the landscaping surrounding your patio. Call (337) YOUR-NUM to get a firm quote for your outdoor space today.
Is pressure washing safe for brick pavers and flagstone patios?
Yes when the correct pressure and method are used. Brick pavers require medium pressure with biodegradable cleaning solution with careful attention to the sand joints between pavers. High-pressure washing applied directly into paver joints can displace the sand base underneath, causing pavers to shift or sink over time. Flagstone and slate require a pH-neutral solution at low pressure to prevent etching the stone surface. We assess every patio surface before selecting the correct pressure setting and cleaning solution one-size-fits-all pressure washing is the most common cause of patio surface damage from unqualified operators.
How often should I have my patio professionally washed in Louisiana?
Most Lafayette concrete and paver patios benefit from professional washing once a year. Patios under heavy oak or pecan tree canopy very common in Lafayette neighborhoods may need patio cleaning every 8 to 10 months due to accelerated tannin staining and leaf debris buildup. Wood decks should be cleaned annually to prevent mold from penetrating into the wood grain where it causes long-term structural damage. After professional biocide treatment, most patio surfaces remain in good condition for 12 to 18 months before significant algae regrowth returns.
Will patio washing damage my plants and landscaping around the patio?
When performed correctly by a professional, patio washing poses no risk to surrounding plants, garden beds, or grass. Before applying any cleaning solution, we pre-wet every plant, shrub, and grass area within 10 feet of the patio. We use 100% biodegradable, EPA-safe solutions throughout and rinse all vegetation thoroughly after the job is complete. We also redirect runoff away from root zones wherever possible. Protecting your landscaping is a non-negotiable step in our patio and porch washing process we never rush past it to save time.
Should I seal my patio after pressure washing?
Sealing your concrete or paver patio 24 to 48 hours after a professional wash is highly recommended. A quality concrete or paver sealer closes the surface pores making future staining easier to clean because it sits on the sealer surface rather than penetrating the concrete, preventing algae and mold from rooting in the pores as quickly, and significantly extending the time between professional cleanings. For wood decks, a UV-protective deck sealant applied after cleaning protects the brightened wood from re-graying and from the moisture penetration that causes rot. Ask about our sealing service when you book your patio wash sealing a clean surface is always more effective than sealing over existing staining.
Do I need to move patio furniture before you arrive?
Yes please move or stack patio furniture, grills, planters, and any other items off the patio surface before we arrive. This allows us to clean the entire patio floor area completely without missing sections and protects your furniture from any cleaning solution contact. We can move lighter items if needed, but for the best result and to avoid any risk to your belongings, having the surface clear when we arrive means we can start immediately and finish faster. We will remind you by text the day before your scheduled appointment.
