Concrete patios: the Tracy standard
Most backyards in Tracy's subdivisions are anchored by a poured concrete patio, and by mid-winter many of them are slick enough to be dangerous. Tule fog keeps shaded slabs damp for weeks, algae films over the surface, and one step in the wrong spot sends someone down. We deep-clean the slab with a surface cleaner, treat the algae so it dies rather than returning in a month, and rinse the yard clean.
Wood and composite decks
Wood decks, more common on the older homes near downtown, cannot take concrete-level pressure. High PSI furrows the grain and shreds the surface. We wash wood with low pressure and a cleaner that lifts the gray oxidation and kills growth in the boards, leaving the deck clean and intact and ready for stain or sealer if you want to go that direction. Composite decking gets a similar gentle wash per manufacturer guidance.
The full outdoor living space
While we are set up we can take the whole package: patio slab, pavers, retaining walls, outdoor kitchen surrounds, and the patio furniture grime that Altamont dust settles onto all summer. One visit, one written flat quote, and the backyard is ready for the season.
Questions We Actually Get
My patio gets slippery every winter. Why?
Algae. Tracy's fog season keeps shaded concrete damp for days at a time and algae films the surface. Cleaning plus an algaecide treatment removes the slick layer and slows its return.
Can you pressure wash my wood deck?
We clean wood decks, but with low pressure and the right cleaner, not a high-pressure blast, which tears up the grain. The result is clean wood that is still smooth.
Will you clean my pavers too?
Yes. Paver patios get cleaned and can be re-sanded and sealed afterward, which locks out weeds and keeps the Altamont dust from settling back into the joints as fast.
How soon can I use the patio after cleaning?
Same day for concrete and pavers once surfaces dry. If we apply sealer or the deck gets a brightener, we will give you a specific window, usually 24 hours.
