Power washing across Harrogate & Yorkshire

Patios, driveways and paths accumulate years of algae, moss, dirt and general grime that regular cleaning can't touch. Professional power washing removes it completely — restoring the original colour and surface, making surfaces safer underfoot and dramatically improving the appearance of your property.

CPW Gardens carries out power washing across Harrogate and Yorkshire for homeowners, landlords and commercial properties. We use professional-grade equipment and the right technique for each surface — stone, concrete, tarmac, block paving and resin all need different approaches and different pressures.

The line down the middle tells the story. Left: years of algae and grime. Right: restored to the original surface.

What we clean

  • Patios — sandstone, natural stone, porcelain, concrete and Indian stone
  • Driveways — tarmac, concrete, block paving and resin bound
  • Paths and walkways
  • Stone steps and entrance areas
  • Garden walls and boundary walls
  • Decking — carefully treated to avoid surface damage
  • Commercial hard surfaces — car parks, yard areas, building entrances

How we work

The right pressure for the surface

Not all surfaces can take the same pressure. Sandstone and natural stone require a lower pressure and wider lance than concrete or tarmac — get it wrong and you can damage the surface or blast out the jointing mortar between slabs. We adjust technique and equipment to the surface every time.

Combining with other work

Power washing often makes sense alongside other work — before new landscaping, after a garden clearance, as part of a property being prepared for sale or a new tenancy. We can combine it with patio and landscaping work or carry it out as a standalone service. If you're a landlord or letting agent, it's one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost things you can do to a property before new tenants arrive.

Frequently asked questions

Can you quote from photos?+
Yes — power washing is one of the easiest jobs to price from photos. WhatsApp a few pictures showing the area and the surface type and we'll come back with a price, usually the same day. Call or message 07497 537 327.
Will power washing damage my patio or driveway?+
Not if it's done correctly with the right equipment and pressure for the surface. We adjust our approach to the material — sandstone and natural stone require lower pressure than concrete or tarmac. We don't use a one-size-fits-all setting.
How long does power washing take?+
An average domestic patio typically takes two to four hours. A full driveway might take four to six hours. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when we quote so you know what to expect.
Should I seal the patio or driveway afterwards?+
Sealing after power washing extends the results significantly — it slows algae and moss regrowth and makes the surface easier to maintain. We can advise on sealing when we visit or quote, and can apply sealant as part of the job on natural stone and sandstone.
How often should patios and driveways be power washed?+
In Yorkshire's climate, most patios and driveways benefit from a clean every one to two years. Surfaces in shade or under trees may need more frequent attention. We can set up a repeat visit schedule if that's useful.
What areas do you cover?+
We're based in Harrogate and cover North and West Yorkshire — Knaresborough, Ripon, Leeds, York, Wetherby, Ilkley, Skipton and surrounding areas.
