Pressure Washing in Las Vegas
Las Vegas properties face unique challenges when it comes to keeping exterior surfaces clean. Desert dust settles into every porous surface, tire marks and oil stains accumulate on driveways, hard water from sprinkler systems leaves mineral deposits on patios and pool decks, and wind-blown dirt embeds itself into concrete and pavers. Over time, these contaminants don't just look bad — they can degrade surfaces, reduce curb appeal, and create slip hazards around pools and walkways.
Professional pressure washing is the most effective way to restore concrete, pavers, stucco, and stone surfaces to their original condition. Using commercial-grade cold-water equipment, we remove years of buildup without damaging the surface underneath.
What We Clean
Our pressure washing services cover a wide range of exterior surfaces:
- Driveways — concrete, pavers, and exposed aggregate
- Patios and outdoor living areas — stamped concrete, natural stone, pavers
- Sidewalks and walkways — remove dirt, gum, and stains
- Pool decks — eliminate algae, mildew, and mineral deposits
- Exterior walls — stucco, painted surfaces, block walls
- Garage floors — oil, grease, and tire marks
Cold-Water Pressure Washing vs. Hot-Water Power Washing
We use cold-water pressure washing for most residential applications. Cold-water pressure washing relies on high-pressure water flow to blast away dirt, grime, and stains. It's highly effective for concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and most masonry surfaces. It's also safer for pavers and delicate finishes since it doesn't introduce heat that can loosen sealants or damage surface treatments.
Hot-water power washing (often called "power washing") adds heated water to the equation, making it more effective for dissolving grease and oils. It's often used for commercial applications like restaurant parking lots or heavy industrial equipment. For residential properties in Las Vegas, cold-water pressure washing delivers excellent results without the added cost or potential surface damage from heat.

The Pressure Washing Process
Before we start, we assess the surface type, level of staining, and any areas that need special attention. Different surfaces require different pressure settings and nozzle types. For example, we use lower pressure with a wider spray pattern for pavers and stucco to avoid dislodging material or damaging finishes. For heavily stained concrete driveways, we use higher pressure with a focused nozzle to penetrate deep into the pores of the concrete.
Once we've dialed in the right settings, we systematically clean the surface, working in overlapping passes to ensure even coverage. We pay extra attention to high-traffic areas, oil stains, and edges where dirt tends to accumulate. After cleaning, we rinse the surface thoroughly to remove all loosened debris and leave the area ready to dry.
Why Pressure Washing Matters in Las Vegas
The desert environment is tough on outdoor surfaces. Fine dust particles settle into the porous texture of concrete and pavers, creating a layer of grime that dulls the appearance and traps moisture. Tire marks from asphalt dust and oil drips from vehicles bond to driveways and garage floors. Hard water from sprinklers leaves white mineral deposits that build up over time, especially on pool decks and patios near irrigation zones.
Regular pressure washing prevents these contaminants from becoming permanent. It also stops surface degradation, dirt and grime can trap moisture against concrete, accelerating cracking and spalling in freeze-thaw cycles (which can happen even in Las Vegas during winter nights). On pool decks, removing algae and mildew eliminates slip hazards and keeps the area safe for bare feet.
Benefits of Professional Pressure Washing
- Restores curb appeal — a clean driveway and walkway make a strong first impression
- Prevents surface damage — removing buildup stops long-term degradation
- Increases property value — clean exterior surfaces boost perceived home value
- Improves safety — eliminating algae and mildew on pool decks prevents slips
- Prepares surfaces for sealing — pressure washing is the first step before applying a concrete sealer
