Brick patio advice

First real job small brick patio. Heavy green buildup in one corner. Running a 4gpm machine going to down stream SH then use the surface cleaner. Maybe a pump sprayer in case I need a stronger mix for the heavy spots. Anything I need to watch out for or any advice ?




Make sure you have a turbo nozzle for the hard to reach areas.

And be mindful of plans…

Straight forward

Nice easy first job. You shouldn’t need anything more that regular downstreaming. Only thing I find with some bricks like that is they start to spall. That’s where a thin layer can flake off. You’ll be able to tell pretty easy and quickly if they are.

Easy job. One thing, make sure you find a place for all that water runoff.

I don’t have a turbo nozzle yet. I run a jrod and surface cleaner. It goes down to a pool area.

You probably won’t need a turbo on that, just hit with 2%, dwell and surface clean.

I needed a turbo on this sucker…


Bring a leaf blower. You never know if you get water wanting to pool somewhere and its an easy way to move it. 1-2% will be plenty strong, hit the worst spots first and maybe one more time before you start. This should be an easy one with good before / after pics for you.
