That stone retaining wall along the pool enclosure had seen better days. Dark staining, built-up grime, and years of organic growth had turned what should be a clean, structured landscape feature into an eyesore. It's one of those things that creeps up on you slowly - until one day you really look at it and wonder how it got that far.
We took care of it. The difference in the stone color alone tells the whole story. What looked like dark, weathered, almost unrecognizable block work came back looking like fresh-cut stone again. The natural texture and tone of each individual block is visible and clean - not faded into a murky, stained mess.
Stone walls like this sit right at ground level, which means they catch everything - runoff, mold, algae, dirt, you name it. And when they're adjacent to a pool enclosure, that buildup is even more noticeable because everything around them tends to stay cleaner by comparison. Pressure washing gets into all those joints and surfaces without damaging the structure itself, when done right.
We work around pool enclosures all the time, so we know how to get in close without causing any issues to the screening or framing. It's not just point-and-spray - there's real technique involved in getting consistent results on irregular surfaces like stacked stone. Belle Isle homeowners trust us with the details, and that's something we take seriously.
If your retaining wall is looking rough, it's usually a faster fix than people expect. One visit can genuinely change how your whole outdoor space reads.
