Pressure Cleaning Melbourne: Moss, Mould and Algae Removal

Fix what is keeping the surface wet, not just what is growing on it

Moss and algae need moisture more than they need anything else, so the fastest way to extend the time between cleans is to stop water sitting on the surface. On most properties the culprit is a blocked outlet: a gutter full of leaf and bark overflows, the water tracks down and across the paving below, and that strip stays damp all winter. We check downpipes and drainage as part of every hard surface job, and gutter cleaning is one of our own services, commonly booked into the same visit.

The other half is the canopy. Tannin-rich leaf drop from mountain ash, messmate and blackwood stains concrete brown and bonds into the surface if it is not removed while fresh, and a compressed leaf layer traps moisture against the paving. Where that is the pattern, seasonal leaf removal and canopy pruning within safe reach do more for the driveway than another clean will. Bulk material coming off site is handled through green and hard waste removal.

Pressure cleaning runs across the hills, where moss pressure is heaviest, including Belgrave, Sassafras, Monbulk, Avonsleigh, Gembrook and Emerald, and across the corridor estates in Pakenham, Officer, Berwick and Beaconsfield, where exposed aggregate is the common driveway finish.
