Most people focus on the obvious stuff - the driveway, the patio, the walkway. But the brick borders around your garden beds? Those get ignored. And when they do, algae and grime move in fast, especially here in Central Florida where the humidity never really lets up.
That's exactly what we were dealing with on this job in Oviedo. The brick edging around the patio bed had a thick layer of green algae built up across the surface, dulling out the color and making the whole yard feel tired and unkempt. It's one of those things that creeps up slowly, so you don't always notice how bad it's gotten until you see it side by side with clean brick.
We cleaned the full curved border and stripped out all that buildup. The brick color came back completely - that warm, earthy red tone that was hiding under all the green. Clean lines, sharp edges, finished look. It's a small detail that ends up pulling the entire yard together in a way that's hard to ignore once you see it.
Hardscape cleaning isn't just about appearances either. Algae and organic buildup hold moisture against the surface and can break down the material over time. Getting it cleaned regularly is actually one of the easier ways to protect what you've already paid for. We handle brick borders, patios, driveways, and more - so if one area needs attention, we can usually take care of the whole property while we're at it.
