A green or black film on a pool deck or patio is algae and mold, not dirt — and wet, algae-coated stone or stamped concrete is one of the more common slip-and-fall spots around a home. Cleveland Pressure Washing clears it with a surface-safe wash, rated 4.9 stars across 28 Google reviews, serving 20 areas around Cleveland, OH.
Algae doesn't need much to take hold — shade from a pergola, splash-out from the pool, or morning dew is enough. Once it's established on stone, stamped concrete, or pavers, it keeps growing back after a garden-hose rinse because the spores are still in the pores of the surface, not just sitting on top of it.
Cleveland Pressure Washing treats decks and patios with a soft-wash approach — enough pressure to lift the growth, not so much that it etches concrete or blows out paver joint sand. The company holds a 4.9-star rating from 28 Google reviews and covers 20 service areas around Cleveland, OH.
Why does the deck around my pool get slippery every summer?
Chlorinated splash-out, standing humidity, and shade are exactly what algae and black mold need, and a pool deck gets more of all three than the rest of the yard. The slickest spots are usually the shaded side and anywhere water pools instead of draining — worth checking by hand before anyone walks it barefoot.
A one-time wash gets the surface back to a safe, dry texture. Because spores live in the pores of the stone or concrete, not just on the surface, a yearly or twice-yearly rewash keeps it from coming back thick enough to matter.
Will pressure washing damage my pavers or stamped concrete?
High pressure aimed straight down can blow sand out of paver joints and etch the finish on stamped concrete — that's the actual risk, not the washing itself. Cleveland Pressure Washing runs lower pressure with a wider fan tip and a cleaning solution that does most of the work, so the surface comes clean without the joints or the finish taking damage.
How often does a pool deck actually need this?
Most homes need it once a season around the pool, more if the deck sits in shade most of the day or backs onto trees that drop debris into the water. Current hours: Mon–Sun 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM.
Is the cleaning solution safe for the pool and for pets?
The wash is applied to the deck surface, not the pool water, and is rinsed before anyone or anything walks back over it. If landscaping borders the deck, mention it when you book so the crew can protect it specifically.
Do you clean while the pool still has water in it?
Yes — the deck is washed independently of the pool itself, so there's no need to drain anything first.
