Before and After Power Washing Brick

Some before & after photos of recent [professional] power washing on brick surfaces of our property. It's been ten years since we had our brick installed and cleaned. Yes, it adds character to leave the moss and mold that grows on your brick, but it's also dangerously slick when wet if you have to walk on it. Not to mention that the growth will eventually break down the mortar and cause bigger headaches in the long run. So, we'll leave the creeping moss for the deep South.
Front porch: Before & After Power Washing (water only)
Front Low Wall and Capstones: Before & After Power Washing (water only)
Walkway Between Structures: Before & After Power Washing (with additive in water)
Courtyard Walkway: Before, During & After Power Washing (with additive in water)
Restoration Cleaner Additive: Used only on walkways covered entirely with brick
Trick Photography: the worker, although appearing to be on the near wall (and very small), is on a far wall, approx. 50' beyond the wall seen in photo. :)

    Glad it worked for you, this of course will not hurt stone, and so long as you spray coming down it will not harm vinyl or wood. My current home is field stone, but prior to thin one it was shingles. I live there over 20 years and did this every other year. No problems
