Plain concrete
The most direct fit for routine surface cleaning when sound and fully cured.
Standard reviewService DR—02 / Outdoor living
A lighter hand for the spaces where people gather.
Patios, courtyards, porches, and entries sit closer to furniture, doors, plants, coatings, and living space. The surface may look like driveway concrete while needing a very different plan.

Material comes first
Similar color does not mean similar surface.
Stamped concrete
Texture, color release, and sealer condition can change the safe approach.
Assessment requiredPainted or coated
Loose coating can lift. A small test and clear exclusions are essential.
Assessment requiredCool deck
A pool-deck coating is not driveway concrete and should never receive the same treatment by default.
Separate methodPavers
Joint sand, sealer, efflorescence, and movement all affect the scope.
Separate methodTile + natural stone
Grout, glaze, mineral content, and slip finish demand material-specific care.

The patio protocol
Protect what surrounds the slab.
Doors, thresholds, planters, irrigation, furniture, pool water, and drainage are part of the working conditions. The cleaning boundary is only one part of the site.

- 05Clean, detail + review
Connected scope
From the gate to the door.
Entry walks, small landings, and front porches often make sense as one connected scope. That produces a more coherent first impression and avoids a sharp clean-to-dirty boundary at the next joint.
