And if you look closely, you’ll see why pressure washing pavers is a tough job to get right. You have all the spaces in between where the dirt will get blasted onto the pavers is you’re not extremely careful. Even with an experienced steady hand, you’ll still pressure wash some of the dirt onto the pavers and surrounding area.
This is one of those jobs you need to think twice about. There’s a good chance the customer won’t be happy when you’re finished unless you really take a lot of time. And that will usually cost more than most people are willing to pay for pressure washing.

Maintenance is something to consider, especially for a commercial application. Stamped concrete may be a more cost effective choice in the long run.
