Why walkway & sidewalk matters

Walkways and sidewalks get more foot traffic than driveways and almost never get cleaned. North Georgia red clay, pollen film, and algae build up fast. The result: your driveway might look great, but the walk to your door tells a different story.

What's included in walkway & sidewalk

  • Surface cleaner on wider walks for an even no-stripe finish
  • Hand-detail on edges, expansion joints, and corners
  • Pollen and red-clay lift in one pass
  • Algae pre-treatment in shaded sections so it doesn't grow back in three weeks

How we do walkway & sidewalk, step by step

Every job runs the same way, in the same order, every time. Here's the standard.

1. Walkaround

Photo every section before we start.

2. Pre-treat

Algae-killer on shaded panels, degreaser on any stains.

3. Surface clean

Wider walks get the 16-inch surface cleaner.

4. Detail wand

Edges, joints, narrow paths, garden steppers.

5. Final walk

Together, before invoice.

The four-step flatwork cleaning sequence Four steps in order: pre-rinse landscaping, pre-treat and dwell, surface clean, post-rinse. Steps one, two and four are the ones lower-priced operators commonly skip. 01 Pre-rinse
Landscaping soaked with fresh water first, before any chemistry exists.
commonly skipped 02 Pre-treat + dwell
Degreaser on oil, algaecide on shaded growth, then it has to sit.
commonly skipped 03 Surface clean
16-inch head, even passes at the PSI the material can take.
04 Post-rinse
Beds rinsed again, residue carried off instead of drying on the slab.
commonly skipped A wash is four steps. Most quotes only pay for one. Pre-treated algae is killed at the root, so it takes 2–3× longer to come back than a rinse-only wash.
