Driveways & Walkways
Green algae and black mildew build up fast on concrete and pavers under Melbourne's older tree cover. We pressure-wash the flatwork clean and check the joints while we're at it.
YEARS OF SHADE LEAVE THEIR MARK
Melbourne's older, tree-lined streets near the river hold onto moisture and shade longer than newer parts of the county — which is exactly why concrete and pavers here need more than a garden hose.
Pressure washing in Melbourne
Melbourne's older neighborhoods sit under real tree canopy, a lot of it close to the river, and that shade holds moisture on concrete and pavers long after the rest of the yard has dried out. That's where green algae and black mildew take hold first — walkways, north-facing siding, pool decks tucked under oaks. A lot of the paver patios and driveways around Melbourne are original installs too, which means original joint sand and whatever sealer they came with, if any. We look at all of it before we start.
For siding, soffits, and rooflines we soft-wash — low pressure plus a cleaning solution, so we lift mildew without driving water behind trim or stripping paint. Driveways, walkways, and pool decks get pressure-washed instead. On paver surfaces that same pressure blows the sand out of the joints, so a paver wash alone only covers half the job. Where the pavers are original and the joints need it, we re-sand after washing and can seal on top — sealing is what keeps the clean looking clean instead of graying out again.
What that looks like here
Green algae and black mildew build up fast on concrete and pavers under Melbourne's older tree cover. We pressure-wash the flatwork clean and check the joints while we're at it.
Siding, soffits, and rooflines get the low-pressure treatment — enough to lift mildew and grime without forcing water under trim, into soffit vents, or old paint.
For paver patios and walkways, we wash, replace the joint sand the pressure pulls out, and seal on top — the combination that actually holds up, not just the wash alone.
By the numbers
The Brevard County tax roll counts 30,009 single-family homes in Melbourne, not counting ZIP 32940 (Viera and Suntree). The typical one was built in 1984, and about 79% were built before 2000.
Older homes mean older driveways, walks and pool decks, and years of mildew and irrigation staining that a garden hose will not move.

Local questions
Melbourne's older streets have a lot of tree cover, especially close to the river, and shade keeps concrete and pavers damp longer than open, sunny lots. That moisture is what lets algae and mildew take hold — it's not a sign anything's wrong with the surface, just Florida shade doing what it does.
We do both, and we'll tell you honestly when sealing makes sense. Pressure washing pulls sand out of the joints along with the dirt, so a wash-only job is incomplete on pavers. Re-sanding and sealing after the wash is what keeps the surface tight and the color looking clean longer.
We adjust pressure and technique to the surface and its condition — old, worn pavers get handled differently than a newer driveway. Before we start anything we walk the property, look at how water drains, and give you a written estimate so there's no guessing what's included.
