What is pressure washing + resanding?

Dirt, moss, algae, and years of weathering can make even quality interlock look tired and worn. Our pressure washing service uses professional-grade equipment to deep clean your pavers without damaging the surface or displacing the base. After washing, we sweep out the old sand from the joints and refill with fresh kiln-dried or polymeric sand to stabilize the surface and reduce weed growth. The result is a dramatic before-and-after difference. Your interlock looks refreshed, the colour comes back, and the joints are tight and clean. This service is a great option if your interlock is structurally sound but just needs a facelift. We recommend pressure washing and resanding every few years to keep your surface looking its best.

FAQ

Common questions about pressure washing + resanding.

+Will pressure washing damage my pavers?
Not when it's done correctly. We adjust the pressure and use the right nozzle for your specific paver type so we clean thoroughly without etching the surface or blowing out the joint sand prematurely. DIY pressure washers set too high can definitely cause damage, which is why it's worth having it done professionally.
+Should I do polymeric sand after washing?
If your joints are in decent shape and the weather cooperates, polymeric sand is a great upgrade after a wash. It hardens in the joints, which means less weed growth and better paver stability compared to regular sand. We can assess the joint condition after washing and let you know if it makes sense for your situation.
+How long does it take?
Most pressure washing and resanding jobs are completed in a single day. A typical driveway takes around 3 to 5 hours including drying time between the wash and resanding. Larger areas or surfaces with heavy buildup might take a bit longer, but we'll give you an estimate upfront.
+Can you remove oil stains?
We can usually improve oil stains significantly, especially if they're relatively fresh. Older stains that have soaked deep into the paver are harder to fully remove, but pressure washing combined with targeted cleaning agents can make a noticeable difference. We'll be upfront about what to expect based on the condition of your surface.
+How often should I wash?
Most homeowners in Ottawa benefit from a wash every 2 to 3 years, though areas with a lot of shade or tree cover might need it more often since moisture and organic debris build up faster there. High-traffic driveways also tend to need more frequent attention than a backyard patio that gets lighter use.
+Will weeds come back?
Weeds can return over time since seeds blow in naturally, but proper resanding makes a big difference. Polymeric sand is the best option for keeping weeds out of the joints long term. Keeping nearby garden beds and vegetation trimmed also helps reduce the amount of organic material that ends up on your interlock.
