Your Outdoor Living Space, Restored

Patios and pool decks are the heart of Texas outdoor living — but they take a beating. Constant sun, summer storms, splashing pool water, food and drink spills, sunscreen, mildew from humid nights, pollen, mud tracked in from the yard, and shaded corners that never fully dry. Within a few seasons, even a brand-new patio looks tired, gray, and grimy.

A professional pressure wash from SurFast strips off everything the elements have layered on and reveals the original surface underneath. Customers in Plano, Frisco, Rockwall, McKinney, Heath, Prosper and across DFW are routinely shocked at how much brighter their patios look once the build-up is gone. It's one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost improvements you can make to your outdoor space — no resurfacing, no staining, no contractor required.

Common Patio & Pool Deck Problems

Different surfaces collect different grime. Here's what we clean off — completely.

Algae & Mildew

Those black, green, and brownish patches in shaded or damp areas aren't stains — they're living organisms. We treat and remove them so they don't simply grow back next week.

Mineral Deposits

Pool splash-out leaves chalky white calcium and salt deposits along the coping and deck. We safely lift these without etching the stone or concrete.

Sunscreen & Body Oils

The dark "trail" around your pool isn't dirt — it's accumulated sunscreen, lotion, and body oils that bake into the deck surface every summer.

Food, Wine & Grill Splatter

Years of barbecues, dinners, and spilled drinks leave a patina of organic staining. A proper pressure wash strips it clean.

Rust & Iron Stains

Patio furniture legs, planters, and well-water sprinklers leave orange rust marks. We pre-treat these stains so they actually come out — not just lighten.

Pollen & Tree Sap

Spring pollen bonds tightly to porous surfaces. Sap from oak and pecan trees leaves sticky dark spots. Both come off with the right pressure and technique.

Safe For Every Patio Material

Texas patios and pool decks come in all materials, and each one demands a different approach. Hammering travertine with the same pressure you'd use on concrete will pit and damage the stone. Using too-soft a wash on stamped concrete leaves it streaky. We adjust pressure, water temperature, surface-cleaner choice, and detergent for every surface we step onto.

Broom-Finish Concrete The most common patio surface in DFW. Surface cleaner handles it quickly and evenly.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete Cleaned without damaging the sealer or color hardener. We can recommend a reseal after if needed.
Travertine Lower pressure, gentler technique. We protect the soft stone while still lifting algae from its natural pits.
Flagstone & Natural Stone Mortar joints stay intact. Stone surfaces come out brighter without losing their natural texture.
Brick & Paver Patios We clean the surface and the joints. Polymeric sand re-application available on request.
Kool Deck & Cool Decking The textured coating around many DFW pools — we use the soft-wash approach so we don't strip the finish.

How We Clean Your Patio or Pool Deck

  1. 1 Walk-Through & Surface Assessment We identify the surface material, problem areas, sealer condition, drainage direction, and any landscaping or pool equipment that needs protection.
  2. 2 Protect Landscaping & Pool Plants are pre-soaked. Pool covers and skimmers are protected from runoff. Outdoor cushions, rugs, and electronics get moved or covered.
  3. 3 Pre-Treat Stains & Organic Growth Algae, mildew, rust, and oily areas get a targeted pre-treatment. This kills the organic growth at the root so it doesn't return in weeks.
  4. 4 Surface Clean With The Right Tool Hard concrete gets the surface cleaner for even, streak-free results. Travertine and stone get lower-pressure soft-washing. Coping and detail areas are hand-wanded.
  5. 5 Final Rinse & Walk-Through Everything gets rinsed cleanly off the surface and away from the pool. We walk through the finished patio with you before we pack up.

Why Pool Decks Need Special Attention

Pool decks aren't just patios with a pool next to them. They face unique conditions that demand a specialist approach. Chlorine, salt-system residue, and pool chemicals leave behind a film that traps dirt. Splash-out keeps the surface constantly damp — perfect conditions for algae growth, especially in shaded areas under pergolas or pool screens. And because pool decks are walked on barefoot, slipperiness is a real safety concern.

A proper pool deck cleaning restores both appearance and safety. The slick algae layer disappears. Sun-baked sunscreen rings around lounging areas vanish. Mineral deposits along the coping come off without etching the stone. And the entire deck dries faster afterwards because the surface is no longer holding moisture in a layer of grime.

We also take care around your pool equipment. Skimmers and auto-fill valves are covered. Runoff is directed away from the pool itself — you should never have to shock or rebalance your pool because we cleaned the deck. And if you have a screened enclosure or pool cage, we can clean the screen panels in the same visit.

How Often Should You Clean Your Patio or Pool Deck?

For most DFW homeowners, once a year is the sweet spot. The ideal timing is early-to-mid spring — before the entertaining season really kicks off and while temperatures are still mild. A spring clean removes the winter's algae growth, knocks back the spring pollen, and sets you up for a sharp-looking patio for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and beyond.

Heavily shaded patios, properties with a lot of tree cover, or homes with active pools may benefit from a second cleaning in late summer or early fall to deal with algae and sunscreen build-up before guests come over for the holidays. Commercial properties — restaurant patios, HOA pool decks, country clubs — typically run a more frequent schedule, anywhere from quarterly to monthly depending on traffic.

If your patio is already heavily soiled, don't worry — SurFast has cleaned patios that hadn't been touched in 10+ years. There's almost always a dramatic improvement, and after the initial restoration, an annual maintenance clean keeps it looking great with far less effort.
