Your driveway sees daily use and exposure to the elements, accumulating stains from oil leaks, tire marks, dirt, and debris. These stains don’t just impact the visual appeal of your property; they can also degrade the surface over time, leading to costly repairs.
Walkways and sidewalks are an integral part of your property’s exterior, guiding visitors and creating a polished look. However, dirt, moss, and algae buildup can quickly make these areas slippery and unsafe.
Fences play a dual role: they define your property’s boundaries while enhancing its aesthetic. But over time, they can become discolored due to weather, dirt, and mildew, detracting from the overall appeal.
Decks and patios are outdoor living spaces where you gather with family and friends, so keeping them clean and inviting is essential. However, exposure to weather, dirt, mold, and mildew can make these areas look worn out and even unsafe.
Rust stains are some of the toughest to remove, often forming on concrete surfaces, metal fixtures, and even vinyl siding due to irrigation systems or natural metal corrosion.
For businesses, a clean parking lot is essential for creating a positive first impression and ensuring safety for customers and employees. Over time, parking lots can collect oil stains, dirt, tire marks, and litter, making them look uninviting and even hazardous.
Stubborn stains, whether from organic matter like leaves or chemical spills, can be challenging to remove without the right equipment and expertise.

Pressure washing a house requires more than just basic equipment; it involves specialized machines, eco-friendly detergents, and the skill to choose the correct PSI and nozzle settings for each surface. At Total Lawn Service and Pressure Washing, we use top-quality, commercial-grade pressure washers, detergents tailored to different materials, and techniques that protect the integrity of your property.
We use professional-grade pressure washers with adjustable PSI settings, which are perfect for tackling a variety of surfaces, from concrete driveways to delicate wood siding. Unlike consumer-grade models, our equipment has a wide range of settings and attachments, ensuring we can safely clean any surface. This versatility allows us to control the power of the water jet, ensuring that we get the job done effectively without causing any damage to your property.
Choosing the right nozzle is essential for pressure washing. Different nozzles produce different spray patterns, from a concentrated, powerful stream to a wide, gentle mist. For example, when cleaning vinyl siding, we might use a 40-degree nozzle for broader surfaces, which reduces the risk of damage while still effectively removing dirt. We also use surface cleaners for driveways and flat areas to create even, streak-free results.
At Total Lawn Service and Pressure Washing, we believe in protecting both your property and the environment. Many surfaces require more than just water pressure to achieve a thorough clean, especially when dealing with mold, mildew, or grease. That's why we use environmentally safe, biodegradable detergents designed to break down contaminants without harming nearby plants or soil. These solutions are carefully selected based on the surface type, ensuring maximum effectiveness with minimal environmental impact.
Knowing how to apply pressure washing techniques is just as important as using the right equipment. Our team is trained to assess each surface, choosing the right combination of water pressure, cleaning solution, and nozzle angle to ensure a thorough but gentle clean. This expertise allows us to clean surfaces effectively without causing harm, ensuring your home is restored without wear and tear.
Pressure washing involves handling powerful equipment, and safety is a top priority for our team. We wear protective gear, including gloves, goggles, and non-slip footwear, to ensure safety during the process. Additionally, we take care to safeguard your property by covering vulnerable areas and avoiding windows and fixtures that could be damaged.
By using professional-grade tools, eco-friendly cleaners, and expert techniques, Total Lawn Service and Pressure Washing ensures that your home is cleaned effectively and safely. Our comprehensive approach provides results that last while protecting your property and the surrounding environment.
The PSI (pounds per square inch) used for pressure washing a house varies depending on the type of surface, level of dirt, and overall cleaning goals. Choosing the right PSI is essential for achieving a clean result without causing damage to the property. At Total Lawn Service and Pressure Washing, we use different PSI settings tailored to the specific areas of your home to ensure optimal cleaning.
For general house washing, including siding made of vinyl, aluminum, or wood, we typically use a PSI range between 1,300 and 1,600. This range is strong enough to remove dirt, mold, and mildew without harming the siding material. Higher PSI levels could strip paint or damage the siding, so we prioritize a balance of effectiveness and safety.
Some parts of the house, such as windows, eaves, and gutters, require extra care due to their delicate construction. For these areas, we lower the PSI further to avoid any potential damage. Our team may also use soft washing techniques for these surfaces, which involve low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions. This gentle approach cleans sensitive areas effectively, protecting windows and seals while ensuring a pristine result.
Houses vary in their construction materials, and each material has different cleaning needs. For example, brick and stone surfaces can handle slightly higher PSI levels compared to vinyl or wood. Concrete steps, driveways, and patios might need 2,500 to 3,000 PSI to lift tough stains effectively. Our team assesses the materials around your home, ensuring the PSI level is suited to each specific area
For certain stains like algae, mold, or heavy dirt build-up, a slightly higher PSI might be necessary to ensure a thorough clean. However, instead of always increasing PSI, we may apply a pre-treatment with a mild cleaning agent. This helps break down the stain, making it easier to remove with standard PSI settings and reducing the risk of damage from high pressure.
The right PSI depends on various factors, from the type of surface to the extent of dirt and grime. Total Lawn Service and Pressure Washing performs a detailed assessment before starting any project, choosing the optimal PSI settings and equipment to get the job done right. By customizing our approach, we achieve excellent results while preserving the quality and longevity of your home's surfaces.
Using the correct PSI is one of the ways we ensure a safe and effective clean. Our experience and attention to detail mean we can adjust PSI levels as needed, achieving great results without compromising your home’s integrity.
Total Lawn Service and Pressure Washing offers a thorough, efficient pressure washing process designed to deliver sparkling clean surfaces without damaging your property. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of our approach:
Every pressure washing job begins with a careful inspection of the surfaces we’ll be cleaning. We evaluate the material (whether it's siding, concrete, wood, or brick), the level of grime or buildup, and any areas that might require extra care. This initial assessment helps us determine the appropriate pressure, cleaning solution, and method to use for optimal results.
We take steps to protect your property and ensure a safe working environment. For house washes, this includes covering electrical outlets, securing nearby plants, and moving outdoor furniture or delicate items away from the cleaning area. Our team prioritizes safety, ensuring that all surroundings are adequately protected from high-pressure water and cleaning agents.
Pressure washing requires the right balance of water pressure and cleaning solution. We customize these factors based on the surface type. For more delicate areas like house siding, we use soft washing techniques, which involve lower pressure combined with eco-friendly detergents to safely remove dirt and grime. For tougher surfaces like concrete, we may use higher pressure to tackle stains and embedded dirt.
For many surfaces, we apply a cleaning solution before washing. This pre-treatment loosens dirt, mold, mildew, and algae, making it easier to remove and ensuring a more effective clean. Our cleaning solutions are safe for your home and environmentally friendly, designed to break down organic buildup without leaving harsh residues.
After allowing the cleaning solution to sit for a few minutes, we begin pressure washing. Using controlled, sweeping motions, our technicians clean each surface thoroughly, adjusting the angle and distance as needed for consistent, streak-free results. For concrete and driveways, this step may include the use of a surface cleaner attachment for an even finish.
Once pressure washing is complete, we thoroughly rinse the area to remove any leftover cleaning agents and dirt. Our team inspects the surface to ensure no spots were missed and checks that all residue has been washed away. For delicate surfaces, we use a gentle rinse to ensure there’s no residual pressure impact.
By following this process, Total Lawn Service and Pressure Washing ensures your surfaces are restored to their best condition, giving your home a fresh, clean look that lasts.
