Looking for a way to Remove Black Spots From Patio, Sandstone, and Pavers?

There’s nothing better than warm summer nights spent on your patio with friends and family. However, black spots can be an eyesore and ruin the ambience. These spots can also spread throughout your property and affect your beautiful pathways and pool areas

What Is A Black Spot?

Black spots are a form of mold, algae, or fungi. They often grow in damp and shady conditions, which you can find in nearly every backyard.

Over time, the fungi send out tendrils (hyphae) that seek out nutrients from the minerals in the stone. Gradually, the fungi spread, and the spot becomes harder to remove.

Therefore, their presence is a bigger issue on stones with larger pores, which is why they attach to sandstone. Also known as lichens, they have grown for thousands of years on cliff faces and rocks.

As a result, black spot removal services work hard across the country to clear these spots from patios with sandstone, pavers, etc.

Why Black Spots on Patio Are So Hard to Remove

The reason black spots are so challenging to remove is that the fungi don’t simply sit on the surface—they embed themselves deep into the stone’s pores.

This makes them resistant to surface-level cleaning methods like scrubbing or standard pressure washing.

Once the fungi have taken hold, they will continue to grow and spread unless treated at the root. That’s why professional black spot removal involves more than just cleaning the surface.

The fungi need to be killed at the source, and the stone needs to be treated to prevent future growth.

How Do I Get Rid Of Them?

There are a few ways to remove a black spot from a patio.

Black spot removal services use the following three techniques to clear out this nasty material on patios.

1) Pressure-Washing

If you’re looking for a short-term solution, like when the neighbours are over for the afternoon, pressure-washing will work on a surface-level.

However, it won’t last for long. Pressure washing is the equivalent of giving the fungi a haircut.

Although it temporarily solves the problem, it doesn’t eliminate the fungi embedded in the stone and only gives it more water to grow.

2) High-Temperature, Low Pressure

A high-temperature, low-pressure steam cleaner will kill the easier black spots, so if it hasn’t been there long, this may be a solution!

However, if the spot is stubborn, you might have to turn to the third method.
