Is pressure washing worth it for driveways, paths and patios?

The short answer

Yes, for hard outdoor surfaces. Pressure washing lifts dirt, moss, mould and stains from concrete, pavers and patios that sweeping and hosing leave behind, and makes surfaces less slippery. Most homes only need it once or twice a year, often before summer entertaining, a sale or the end of a lease.
