Path and walkway cleaning that removes the slippery green film and makes paths safe again. Across Sydney's Northern Beaches.
Path Cleaning
Paths in shade and near gardens build up a slippery layer of mould and algae that is a genuine trip hazard. We clean walkways back to a clean, safe, even surface.
Concrete, paved and stone paths around the side and rear of homes are often forgotten, and they make a big difference once they are done.
Paths are the shadiest, dampest surfaces on most Northern Beaches blocks, squeezed between the fence and the house or winding under trees, and they grow a film of algae and moss faster than anywhere else. That green film is more than ugly. Wet, it is genuinely dangerous, especially on a slope or steps.
We treat the growth so it dies at the root, clean the path evenly from edge to edge, and pay particular attention to steps and shaded sections where the buildup is thickest. The result is a path that looks fresh and, more importantly, grips underfoot again. We check the whole run with you before we leave and re-do anything that is not right.

No shortcuts and no surprise extras. Here is exactly what you get with our path cleaning.
How it works
The same careful process on every job, so the result is right every time.
We wet down the surrounding areas, plants and gardens first, so everything around the job is protected before we start.
We pre-wash the surface with our algae and growth killer, so the mould and lichen are killed at the root, not just blasted off the top.
We clean with the right pressure for the surface, high where it suits and gentler where it does not, for an even finish without damage.
We post-wash to flush away the lifted grime and any leftover residue, leaving a clean, consistent result.
We do a final clean and walk the whole job with you, making sure everything is perfect before we pack up.

Yes. The slipperiness is mould and algae on the surface. Cleaning it off restores grip and makes the path safe to walk on again.
Yes. Small paths are usually bundled with a driveway or house wash to make the most of the visit, and the quote is always free with no obligation.
It is priced on the length, surface and condition of the path, quoted free with no obligation. Because paths are often modest jobs, the best value is bundling them with a driveway, patio or house wash in the same visit. Tell us everything that needs doing and we will quote it as one job with one price.
A properly treated path usually stays clean and safe for a year or more, though heavily shaded runs beside fences can green up faster in a wet winter. Because we kill the algae rather than just stripping it, our cleans hold well beyond a quick DIY blast, which often greens again within months.
Algae and moss need moisture and shade, and side paths have both all day. Fences and walls block the sun, the ground stays damp, and leaf litter feeds the growth. That is why the path between the house and fence is always the worst spot on the property, and why it needs cleaning more often than open areas.
Yes. We wet down the beds either side before starting, control the spray along the edges, and rinse the plants when we finish. Stepping stones and paths that wind through gardens take a little longer because of the care needed, but the garden comes through untouched.
On its own, usually an hour or two depending on length and condition. Bundled with other surfaces it just adds a little to the visit. Steps, steep sections and heavy moss take more time because we clean them thoroughly by hand where the machine cannot get an even finish.
We kill it first with a pre-treatment, then clean it away. Algae blasted off without treatment leaves living spores in the surface, which is why untreated paths turn green again so quickly. Killing the growth at the root is the single biggest reason a professional path clean lasts longer.
Almost always, yes. Even paths black with years of buildup respond to a proper treat-and-clean. Very heavy lichen can occasionally leave faint marks that fade over the following weeks as the weather finishes the job. We will tell you exactly what to expect when we see the path.

Couldn't be happier with the work done at our home in Frenchs Forest. Booked them for a full exterior clean including pressure washing the driveway and back patio, a soft wash on the rendered walls, and windows done throughout. The difference is night and day: the driveway looks brand new and the glass is spotless. Professional, takes real pride in the job, and the price was exactly what was quoted.
Oli and his colleague were very thorough and efficient. To be honest they removed some stains I thought would have to be painted over. They were both very polite and cleaned up after they had finished. I would highly recommend them.
The boys did a fantastic job. Our sandstone looks brand new again. Very happy.
Highly recommended! Prompt communication. Oli and the team turned up on time and did a great job of cleaning a very dirty driveway and paved area.
Thank you Pristine Standard for an amazing job transforming our brick work. We couldn't be happier with the job. A very professional and friendly service. Highly recommended.
Oli and his team recently washed our house and paving. It has come up fantastically. We could not be more impressed with the job.
Great job by the guys power cleaning our driveway.
Quick service, good price, thorough, quality.
Our property has plenty of mature trees surrounding the house, porch and patio, so the gutters collect a significant amount of leaf litter. Nick arrived exactly at the agreed time, was professional and friendly throughout, and took before and after photos so we could clearly see the work completed. Their pricing was very competitive and we will definitely be using Pristine Standard again.
I couldn't be happier with the service from Pristine Standard. They were professional, punctual, and incredibly thorough. My windows look absolutely spotless. I didn't realise how much brighter my home could feel until they were done. The team was friendly, respectful of my property, and made sure everything was cleaned up perfectly before leaving.
Oliver did a fantastic job cleaning my windows. They have never looked better. They also took the time to remove the mould from the window sills, which had built up after all the recent rain. Professional, thorough, and great attention to detail. I will definitely be having my windows cleaned regularly from now on.
The Pristine Standard team just completed cleaning my second story windows and they look brand new again. The team are professional, polite and have pride in their work. We could not be happier with our clean streak free windows. Highly recommend, and please do support a local business.
What a great job these guys did. Gutters look brand new, eaves are white once more and I can see through the upstairs windows. Get these guys to your place, highly recommend this business.
Ollie did a fantastic job cleaning our windows. Extremely polite, punctual and friendly. Moved our outdoor furniture back into place and left everything clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
Couldn't be happier. Windows, screens and tracks sparkling clean. They even took great care in not damaging my bushes and garden outside the windows. The water is demineralised so no streaks occur, leaving them clean longer.
