Over time, Cork's damp maritime climate and high humidity levels cause moss, algae, lichen, and black spots to thrive on outdoor stone and concrete surfaces. Slippery pathways and green driveways are not only unsightly—they also present a significant safety hazard for your family and visitors. Standard domestic pressure washers often lack the power to strip away deep-rooted spores and can easily damage delicate paving slabs or jointing sand.
At Green Nature Garden and Landscaping, we provide professional power washing and soft washing services across Cork. We use commercial rotary cleaners to apply even, strip-free pressure to concrete, tarmac, and brickwork. For natural stone surfaces like Indian sandstone, we use a low-pressure soft washing technique combined with eco-friendly cleaning treatments. This removes black spots down to the roots without cracking the stone or eroding the jointing mortar. After cleaning, we re-sand block paving joints to stabilize the blocks and prevent future weed growth.
Clean paving completely transforms the look of your home entrance and garden. We use flat-surface rotary cleaning spinners rather than raw spray nozzles. This applies water pressure evenly across the surface, ensuring a uniform clean without lines and avoiding damage to tarmac or aggregate surfaces.
Natural stone like sandstone or slate requires gentle care. We use a low-pressure soft washing method combined with biodegradable treatments to dissolve algae and black spots. After drying, we sweep premium kiln-dried silica sand into block paving joints to stabilize the brick layout and prevent weeds from nesting in the cracks.
Our commitment to surface preservation and environmental safety sets us apart. All our cleaning and moss treatments are biodegradable, non-toxic, and completely safe for plants, pets, and children once dry. We rinse down surrounding flowerbeds and walls to leave the entire site looking pristine.

Power washing uses high-pressure water to mechanically strip dirt from durable surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized, biodegradable treatments to gently dissolve algae and black spots on delicate natural stone.
Power washing inevitably washes out the sand between paving blocks. Without this joint sand, the blocks will shift under vehicle weight, and weeds will immediately grow in the gaps.
Surfaces treated with our post-wash algae inhibitors typically remain clean and moss-free for 12 to 18 months. Shaded areas under trees may require annual cleaning due to moisture and leaf drop.
