Driveways, Paths and Patio  Cleaning

Why Path Cleaning & Treatment Matters

Outdoor pathways are exposed to constant moisture, shade and rainfall, especially here in Taranaki. That environment creates the perfect breeding ground for moss, mould and lichen. Over time, these growths don’t just make your concrete look tired; they create slippery surfaces that increase the risk of hazards.

Instant Cleaning

An instant clean removes the visible buildup immediately, restoring the pathway to a clean, safe condition. This improves appearance, hygiene and overall property presentation.

Treatment for Slower Regrowth

A moss, mould and lichen treatment goes deeper than surface cleaning.
It works by breaking down the spores embedded in the concrete, which slows future regrowth and keeps your drives or walkways cleaner for longer. While concrete itself doesn’t need protection, you and the people using the path do, and reducing regrowth means fewer slippery surfaces forming over time.

Frequently asked questions

• Removes green staining and dark patches
• Makes pathways look fresh, tidy and well‑maintained

What causes moss, mould and lichen to build up on my paths?

Taranaki’s damp, shaded and rainy conditions create the perfect environment for moss, mould and lichen to grow. These growths don’t just make surfaces look dirty, they quickly turn walkways into slippery hazards.

What does the treatment do?

A moss, mould and lichen treatment goes deeper than a surface clean. It breaks down the spores sitting inside the material, which slows regrowth over time not just the visible growth on top. This means your pathway stays cleaner for longer and doesn’t become slippery as fast.


That’s why:

• The surface stays cleaner for longer
• Regrowth slows down
• Slippery patches don’t return as quickly

Why is this especially important in Taranaki?

With the mountain and coastal climate, moss, mould & lichen return fast. Regular cleaning paired with treatment is the best preventative method to keep your pathways safe, clean and looking great year‑round.
