Moss & Algae
Green growth on paths, concrete and paving can make outdoor surfaces slippery and untidy.
Moss, algae and grime build up fast on outdoor surfaces in Auckland's damp climate.Driveways, paths, decks, fences and paved areas can quickly become slippery, discoloured and tired-looking.
Handyman Botany provides professional residential water blasting across Botany, Howick, Pakuranga, Golflands, Dannemora, Flat Bush and surrounding East Auckland suburbs. Pressure is adjusted to suit the surface and the condition of the area being cleaned.
Regular cleaning can improve appearance, reduce slippery build-up and help keep outdoor areas looking cared for.
Green growth on paths, concrete and paving can make outdoor surfaces slippery and untidy.
Dirt, dust and weather staining gradually dull the appearance of driveways and paved areas.
Decks and fences can collect surface dirt and biological growth that changes their appearance over time.
A dirty driveway can make the entire front of a property look older and less cared for.
Cleaning exterior surfaces can make a noticeable difference before photography, open homes or property viewings.
Extension equipment and specialist attachments can help clean selected exterior areas more efficiently.
Pressure and attachments are selected to suit the surface and the type of cleaning required.
Different surfaces need different levels of pressure. The goal is effective cleaning without unnecessary damage.
Check the surface, condition, access and surrounding areas.
Adjust pressure and choose suitable equipment for the material.
Where appropriate, start with a small area before continuing.
Work systematically across the surface for an even result.
Rinse surrounding areas and leave the work area tidy.
Water blasting can clean paving very effectively, but if weeds, roots or deep open joints are the main problem, the paving may also need weed treatment and joint restoration.

Small areas can often be estimated from clear photos.
Larger driveways, multiple surfaces, difficult access or heavily affected areas are quoted individually after assessing the job.
See what commercial-grade water blasting revealed underneath years of weeds, dirt and organic build-up.
At first glance, this Golflands paving looked like it simply needed a good clean β but years of weeds and organic build-up were hiding what was happening underneath. Commercial-grade water blasting removed the heavy surface growth and transformed the appearance of the paving. Once the area was clean, another problem that had been hidden between the pavers became clearly visible. See the full project to find out what we uncovered and how the job progressed from the original condition.

Suitable surfaces may include concrete driveways, paving, paths, patios, selected timber decking, fences and other exterior surfaces. The surface is assessed before cleaning.
Yes. Excessive pressure can damage some materials. Pressure, distance and attachments are therefore selected to suit the individual surface.
Yes. Pressure can be adjusted depending on the material, condition and type of cleaning required.
Where suitable, a dedicated circular surface-cleaner attachment can be used on flat concrete or paving for a more even clean.
Extension equipment is available for selected higher surfaces where access and conditions allow safe cleaning from ground level.
Water blasting can remove visible growth and loose material. Where weeds, roots and open joints are the main problem, additional weed removal and paving joint restoration may also be required.
Often, yes. Clear photos together with approximate dimensions can be enough for an initial estimate. Larger or more complex areas may need a site visit.
We service Botany, Howick, Pakuranga, Golflands, Dannemora, Flat Bush and surrounding East Auckland suburbs.
Every property is different. Photos of the surface, approximate dimensions and a short description of the problem are usually enough to determine whether water blasting alone is suitable or whether another maintenance service would make more sense.
