Pavers accumulate algae, tannin staining and efflorescence faster than most concrete surfaces. Professional cleaning restores their colour safely without disturbing joint sand.

Paver cleaning across Queensland — concrete pavers, clay pavers, terracotta pavers, sandstone, slate and travertine — all accumulate biological growth, tannin staining and efflorescence in Queensland's subtropical climate. Pavers present specific cleaning challenges compared to plain concrete: the joint sand between pavers can be disturbed by aggressive pressure washing; different paver materials require different chemistry and pressure; and some natural stone pavers are sensitive to acid-based cleaners. Burnett 2 Bay cleans all paver types across Redlands, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich and all of South East Queensland using technique matched to each paver material.
The most common residential paver type in SEQ. Responds well to moderate pressure cleaning with appropriate biocidal chemistry for biological growth and acid treatment for efflorescence. Joint sand is preserved by using appropriate pressure.
Clay and terracotta pavers require lower pressure than concrete pavers to avoid surface damage. Acid-based cleaners should be used at lower concentrations on terracotta. These paver types are common in older Queensland properties and heritage settings.
Sandstone, slate, limestone and travertine pavers each have specific sensitivities. Limestone and travertine are sensitive to acid cleaners. Sandstone can be affected by high pressure at the surface layer. We match our chemistry and pressure to the specific stone type.
White mineral deposits on pavers are extremely common — particularly on new paver installations in the first year. Acid-based treatment dissolves the calcium carbonate deposits. Sealing after treatment prevents rapid recurrence.
Yes — concrete, clay, terracotta, sandstone, slate, limestone, travertine and all other paver types across SEQ.
If done incorrectly yes. High pressure at the wrong distance can damage paver surfaces and displace joint sand. We match pressure to the specific paver type and condition.
Yes — acid-based or chelating treatment dissolves calcium carbonate efflorescence deposits.
Depends on area and paver type. Best value as an add-on to a house wash. Contact us for a free quote.
