Today we're excited to introduce you to our friend Tim with Soft Works Power Washing talking about an area of expertise in his line of work that we know will help you to keep your outdoor spaces grime-free for the long haul!

Whether you have simply concrete patio with a grill, or a garden fountain paradise, it is important to keep your area safe, clean and free of unwanted growth. We clean a lot of backyard spaces, especially in the spring as people gear up to spend more time outdoors. Decks and patios are often plagued with continuous growth of mold, mildew, and algae thanks to the humidity of eastern Virginia. At the bare minimum this can cause your outdoor space to appear less bright and appealing than it used to, but even more importantly it will become slippery and make your surfaces dangerous. It is impossible to avoid power washing completely, but here are a few ways to keep your area cleaner for longer!

You're looking at $5,000 to $50,000, maybe more if you want a fancy pizza oven.

Basic grill islands with counter space are a straightforward addition to just about any patio or existing outdoor area, and the sky's the limit from there! Updates like a refrigerator, sink, underlights, bar area, or even a TV (getting excited here!) will take your space to the next level, and could very well add another zero to the price as well. ​
