High-pressure wash of an outdoor interlock patio by Duo Vert

Interlock Cleaning in Gatineau

High-pressure washing to remove moss, stubborn stains and debris. Flawless results in a single day.

Our Cleaning Process

Every job follows our rigorous steps to restore your stone's original beauty

01

Free Evaluation

We assess the condition of your pavers and give you a detailed on-site quote with no obligation. It's always Émile or Beckett in person — never a subcontractor — giving you a fair price, no surprises once the work starts.

02

Anti-Moss Pre-Treatment

We apply a targeted, biodegradable degreasing product to break down moss and stubborn stains. We always protect the lawn and flower beds around the area before applying anything.

03

High-Pressure Wash

Removal of all dirt, moss, lichen, debris and stubborn built-up organic matter. Our professional pressure washer (3600 PSI, 2.5 GPM, industrial Honda engine) lifts deep-set grime without damaging your pavers.

04

Final Rinse

A complete rinse of the surface, a thorough inspection of the area and careful cleanup of the job site. We pick up and carefully clean every adjacent surface before we leave — there's nothing left for you to do.

Signs It’s Time to Clean Your Interlock

The freeze-thaw cycles and big temperature swings in Gatineau and Ottawa create moisture that brings out moss and lichen between the joints. Here are the most common signs we notice at our customers' homes:

  • Greenish moss or lichen settling between the joints, especially in shaded corners.
  • Black or greyish stains caused by organic grime building up over time.
  • The pavers lose their original colour and look dull, even with minimal upkeep.
  • Ants are settling into the gaps, even if the sand hasn't degraded yet.
  • The surface gets slippery or smells musty after rain.
  • Whitish residue left behind by winter de-icing salt.

If that's all you're seeing — no shifting or sinking pavers — a good cleaning usually solves the problem, no full repair needed.

Why Not Wait to Clean Your Interlock

The longer you wait, the deeper dirt, moss and weeds work their way into the joints. With the freeze-thaw cycles we get here every winter, moisture trapped in a neglected joint speeds up this buildup year after year. Regular cleaning every 2-3 years costs far less than the full repair that becomes necessary once the polymeric sand is completely degraded. Maintaining your interlock pavers now means avoiding bigger — and pricier — work later: our projects typically range between $600 and $4,000 depending on the scope of work required.

Frequently Asked Questions — Interlock Cleaning

Everything you need to plan your interlock cleaning.

Ideally every 2-3 years, or as soon as you see moss, lichen or persistent stains, to keep dirt from working its way deep in. Regular maintenance also protects your long-term investment: polymeric sand lasts about 5 years and the pavers themselves can last 25 to 50 years depending on how well they're maintained.
No, not if it's done properly. We professionally adjust the water pressure and angle to the type of stone or slab so we clean thoroughly without ever damaging the surface.
Cleaning removes surface dirt, moss and stains. Repair is a full service that involves removing the old sand and replacing it with fresh polymeric sand that cures. When we do replace the sand, we use exclusively Techniseal HP NextGel polymeric sand — the top performer in the line — regardless of surface type.
Most residential projects (driveways, small patios or walkways) are reliably completed in half a day to a full day of work. With our professional 3600 PSI washer, we move efficiently without ever sacrificing the quality of the result.
Yes, as long as the outside temperature isn't freezing. In Gatineau, the ideal evaluation and washing window runs from early May to late October, though June through September stays the optimal stretch for the best results.
Generally, expect around 5 years before a first replacement, depending on maintenance and weather exposure.
No. If the sand is still in good shape, we adjust the pressure and angle to clean the surface without dislodging it. If we notice during the evaluation that the sand is already degraded, we'll tell you clearly and can offer a full repair instead of a simple cleaning.
It's not mandatory, but it's strongly recommended to make the result last: Techniseal sealant protects against staining, UV rays and de-icing salt. It's an optional step we can add directly to your cleaning.
