Patio Cleaning in Hudson, Ohio
And the Canterbury-era estates carry the heaviest hardscape load anywhere here: patios, covered outdoor living areas, pergolas, outdoor fireplaces, built-in grills, in-ground pool surrounds and stone elevations, all of which are stone-and-masonry cleaning rather than house washing.
Estate hardscape here, the patios, outdoor living areas, pool surrounds and stone elevations, is stone-and-masonry cleaning rather than house washing: different solutions, joint-safe technique, and considerably more time on site.
How we do it
Patio surfaces vary — pavers, natural stone, or poured concrete — and each drains and cleans differently. Matching the treatment and pressure to the material is what prevents joint erosion or surface damage.
- Work Around Furnishings. We work around accessible patio furnishings rather than requiring a full teardown.
- Identify Material & Drainage. We identify the patio material and drainage points before starting.
- Suitable Treatment & Controlled Pressure. We apply a suitable treatment and use controlled cleaning pressure for the material.
- Careful Rinse. We rinse surrounding surfaces carefully.
The method does not change from one town to the next — what changes is what we find when we get there. The full patio cleaning page has the rest of it.
What it costs in Hudson
Hudson runs large, and the price follows the house rather than the postcode: {{price:house-wash:3000}} at 3,000 square feet of home, {{price:house-wash:3500}} at 3,500. The Historic District houses, built between the 1830s and 1920s, are cleaned at low pressure with no surcharge for their age, their materials, or a second story. The newer Canterbury-area homes carry heavy stone and hardscape, where patio and paver cleaning runs {{price:paver:500}} to {{price:paver:2000}} by measured area.
Here is the whole table. Find the size that matches and that is the price in Hudson — not a starting point, not an average, and not a figure that moves when we arrive.
Patio & Paver Cleaning
Patios, pavers and decorative concrete, by measured area.
| Size | Price | Added to a house or roof wash | Typical time on site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 500 sq ft | $169 | $135 | 1 hr 15 min |
| 501 - 1,000 sq ft | $249 | $199 | 1 hr 45 min |
| 1,001 - 1,500 sq ft | $339 | $271 | 2 hr 15 min |
| 1,501 - 2,000 sq ft | $429 | $343 | 2 hr 45 min |
Added to a house wash or roof soft wash, this comes at the add-on price. The saving is real rather than a discount dressed up: the drive, the hookup, the mix and the pack-down are paid for by the first service on the visit, so the second one genuinely costs us less to do.
Included: Surface cleaning and an algaecide post-treatment.
Not included: Polymeric sand replacement is quoted per job and is done after cleaning, before any sealing.
The patio material and its drainage are identified, accessible furnishings are moved clear, a suitable treatment is applied and the surface is cleaned at controlled pressure. On pavers the passes run across the joint lines rather than along or into them, and the surrounding surfaces are rinsed carefully afterward.
A paver patio is held together by the sand in its joints. Pressure aimed into a joint removes that sand, and once enough of it is gone the pavers start to shift, rock underfoot and open up further every season. Cleaning across the joints gets the growth out of them without excavating them. Cleaning across the joints gets the growth out without excavating them, which is the difference between a clean patio and a patio that now needs re-sanding.
What to expect: If the joints were already depleted before we started, re-sanding will be needed either way and we will say so at the walkthrough rather than after. Polymeric sand replacement is quoted per job and is done after cleaning and before any sealing.
Worth adding: Concrete Sealing. Sealing a paver surface locks the joint sand down and slows the growth from coming back into it, which is where growth on a patio always starts.
Ohio does not charge sales tax on flatwork — driveways, walks, patios and concrete — so the figure above is the figure, in Hudson and everywhere else we work.

Patio Cleaning in Hudson — common questions
Is our patio and pool surround part of a house wash or a separate job?
Separate, and priced that way. The Canterbury-era estates carry the heaviest hardscape load anywhere in Hudson — patios, covered outdoor living areas, pergolas, outdoor fireplaces, built-in grills, in-ground pool surrounds and stone elevations. That is stone-and-masonry cleaning rather than house washing: different solutions, different pressure, joint-safe technique, and considerably more time on site. Bundling it into a house-wash number would either overprice the house or underprice the hardscape. So the estimate breaks them out and you can take either one on its own. You can get your own number right now: the [instant estimate](/instant-estimate) prices your property from the address in about two minutes, and what you accept is what you pay.
Do you serve Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Hudson, and Kent?
Yes. Those Summit and Portage County communities are within our regular range, along with Akron itself. We do residential house washing, roof soft washing, deck and patio cleaning, and concrete work there, plus commercial exterior maintenance for storefronts and managed properties. Work in that direction is often grouped on the same day, so choosing a weekday window when you accept your estimate usually gets you in sooner. You can get your own number right now: the [instant estimate](/instant-estimate) prices your property from the address in about two minutes, and what you accept is what you pay.
My Hudson house is in the historic district. Is there anything I need to check first?
Possibly, and it is worth checking before we schedule. The Hudson Historic District has been on the National Register since November 1973 and was expanded in October 1989 to take in Hudson, Old Orchard, Aurora, Oviatt, Streetsboro and College streets. Because exterior changes on placarded properties can require review, we treat that work as restoration-grade cleaning and talk through scope with you before anything begins. On the material side, Federal and Greek Revival houses from the 1830s through the 1920s are the most method-sensitive properties in our whole service area — soft mortar and original painted wood, cleaned at low pressure with correct dwell time or not touched at all.
My Hudson HOA covers exterior upkeep. Do I still need this?
It depends on your subdivision. Association structures vary a lot here: Connecticut Colony and Weston Hills carry annual fees, the Villas of Hudson carry a monthly fee that covers exterior upkeep, and Woods of Western Reserve has no mandatory association at all. Check your association documents first — if exterior cleaning is already contracted, it is covered. Where an association sets an appearance expectation but does not perform the work, the practical standard is matching the rest of the row rather than how your own house looked last year. You can get your own number right now: the [instant estimate](/instant-estimate) prices your property from the address in about two minutes, and what you accept is what you pay.
How often should a First and Main storefront frontage be cleaned?
Two to four times a year for entries and sidewalks, annually for the facade above them. First and Main is the mixed-use district opened in 2004, and the two blocks of North Main Street storefronts have been in continuous commercial use — in a walking district a single dirty frontage stands out immediately, because the eye reads the whole row at once. Hudson Plaza on West Streetsboro Street is anchored-center concrete and service areas, which soil on a vehicle cycle rather than a foot-traffic one. The [maintenance plan](/maintenance-plan) is built for exactly this: an autumn visit, next year's price held, and a longer roof warranty.
My lot is heavily shaded and the green growth keeps coming back. What can be done about it?
Shade and tree cover keep surfaces damp longer, and damp plus low sunlight is exactly what algae, moss, and lichen need, so growth returns faster on wooded lots than on open ones. Cleaning removes what is there now; staying ahead of it means a shorter interval between washes, generally yearly or better on the north and tree-facing sides. Trimming branches back off the roof and keeping gutters clear slows it down by letting surfaces dry. A shaded lot is the case the maintenance plan was built for — $149 a year adds an autumn visit and spot re-clean, and extends the roof warranty to three years. The [maintenance plan](/maintenance-plan) is built for exactly this: an autumn visit, next year's price held, and a longer roof warranty.

Do you clean paver and stamped-concrete patios?
Yes. Patios are cleaned at a pressure matched to the material, which for pavers and stamped or decorative concrete means a gentler approach than a plain utility slab. On pavers we work in controlled passes to limit how much joint sand is disturbed, and we tell you if joints will need re-sanding afterward. Sealing is available as a follow-up once the surface is clean and dry.
Do you come out to Carrollton and the rest of Carroll County?
Yes. Carrollton and the surrounding Carroll County communities are a regular run from Canton, covering downtown storefronts and small commercial exteriors as well as farmhouse washing, porches, and driveway and concrete cleaning. Rural properties there often mean longer drives and gravel-to-concrete transitions, which we account for in the estimate. Put the address into the instant estimate and you have your price on the next screen — we look the property up from public records rather than driving out to measure it. You can get your own number right now: the [instant estimate](/instant-estimate) prices your property from the address in about two minutes, and what you accept is what you pay.
Can I get my price without talking to anyone?
Yes. Put in your name, a way to reach you and the property address, and the next screen has your prices on it. We look your home up from the address — we are able to determine the square footage, and we measure your roof from aerial survey data, so the roof price is measured rather than guessed. Choose what you want cleaned, and you get an itemised estimate on its own page: every line, the sales tax at your county's rate, and what the price assumes. It is texted and emailed to you as well, so you can think about it and come back. Nothing is booked until you accept it, and you can leave off anything you do not want first.

I have a long driveway and outbuildings near Hartville. Do you handle that kind of property?
Yes. Larger properties with long concrete drives, gravel-to-concrete transitions, outbuilding aprons, and open exposure are common around Hartville, and they are quoted by measured area and condition rather than as a flat house-and-drive package. Open exposure and nearby fields usually mean more organic staining on roofs and siding and more tracked soil on the concrete. On a property that size the walkthrough covers all of it, because the outbuildings and the drive are usually where the surface area actually is.
