Your patio is where you grill, relax, and host friends. In Tampa, FL, it can turn grimy fast. Summer rain soaks the surface almost every day. Shade from live oaks keep it damp. Soon a green film spreads across the concrete or pavers. Black spots show up. Rust bleeds out from metal chairs and sprinkler heads. The whole space starts to look tired, and it gets slick underfoot. Many folks stop using the patio long before they get around to cleaning it.
Cliff runs Pink Flamingo Power Wash, and he has cleaned patios across the Tampa area for years. He has seen how our heat and rain grow algae in the shade. He knows which stains lift easily and which ones fight back. A clean patio is about more than a strong spray. It takes the right cleaner and the right pressure for each surface. Cliff and his team bring both to every job.
Why Patios Turn Green in Tampa
Tampa gets around 46 inches of rain a year, and most of it comes between June and September. That much water feeds algae and mildew on any flat surface. Patios sit low and hold moisture, so they grow a green or black film fast. Live oaks and Spanish moss make it worse by keeping the area shaded and wet. Sprinklers add more water and can leave rust marks. Grease from the grill soaks into concrete and pavers. Over time all this builds into a layer that a hose cannot remove. A good patio cleaning clears that buildup and brings back the true color of the stone or concrete. It also removes the slick film that makes a wet surface risky to walk on.
How We Do Patio Pressure Washing
Every surface is different, so we do not blast every patio the same way. For concrete, we can use higher pressure to lift deep stains and old grime. For pavers and softer stone, we ease off and rely more on cleaner. We start by treating the surface to kill algae, mold, and mildew. Then we wash in even passes so there are no streaks or stripe marks left behind. We reach the edges, the corners, and the joints where dirt hides. If your patio has rust or grease, we use targeted cleaners made for those stains. The result is an even, bright finish across the whole space. Careful work protects your surface while it cleans, so the results last.
Concrete, Pavers, and Screened Lanais
Many Tampa homes have more than a basic slab. You might have a paver patio, a screened lanai, or a pool area that flows into the patio. Each one calls for a slightly different plan. Concrete takes a firm clean. Pavers need care so the joint sand is not stripped out, and we can point you to re sanding or sealing when they are ready. Screened lanais collect dust, pollen, and love bug residue, and we clean the floor without soaking your screens. If your patio connects to a pool deck, we can clean that too in the same visit. One trip, one clean space.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does patio pressure wash cost in Tampa?
Cost depends on the size of your patio, the surface, and how much buildup there is. A small concrete slab costs less than a large paver patio with heavy stains. Send a few photos or ask for a quick visit, and Cliff will give you a clear price before any work begins.
How often should I clean my patio in Florida?
Once a year, most patios in the Tampa area. Our rain and shade grow algae fast, so patios in damp or wooded spots may need it twice a year. Regular cleaning keeps the surface safe and stops stains from setting deep.
Will pressure washing hurt my pavers?
Not when we handle it. Too much force can blast out the sand between pavers. We use lower pressure and the right cleaner for pavers, so the joints stay in place. We can also refill joint sand and seal the pavers if they need it.
Do you clean screened patio and lanais?
Yes. Screened lanais trap dust, pollen, and love bug grime. We clean the floor and hard surfaces without harming your screens. Your lanai will look bright and feel fresh again.
