Middletown Paver Restoration Expert: The Professional Paver Reset and Total Surface Overhaul

Middletown properties are significant investments that need the right care to prevent the Central Jersey climate from causing permanent material failure. Above & Beyond Softwash completed a one-day property reset in Middletown, NJ, focused on the specialized restoration of porous stone and delicate composite surfaces. The goal was to remove active organic growth, extract deep-set grime, and leave the exterior surfaces both clean and protected.

We began at the front entrance, targeting the walkway pavers, stairs, and the concrete garage aprons. A pro-grade soft wash was applied first to neutralize organic growth at the root. That chemical treatment is designed to kill mold, lichen, and algae without blasting the surface, which preserves the integrity of porous stone and painted concrete.

After the soft wash did its work, we followed up with high-volume surface cleaning. This dual-action approach does more than rinse the surface, it extracts deep-set grime that traditional pressure washing often leaves behind. The combination restored the original texture and color of the pavers and reduced future dirt buildup by removing the contaminants that attract and hold soil.

The backyard work involved a more technical soft wash treatment on the pool deck, diving board, and a rear painted porch. These areas had heavy lichen and mold, organisms that create slip hazards and also eat into finishes. We carefully applied the soft wash so it would kill the infestations without damaging paint or composite deck fibers, then used a high volume, low pressure fan-rinse to clear away the loosened debris.

Embedded moss in the paver joints was addressed for the homeowners as well. While the surface was cleared during the service, our pro-grade treatment continues to work down in the joints. That ongoing action helps ensure remaining moss fully deteriorates over the coming weeks, making the restoration more complete than a single rinse.

We finished the day by restoring the vinyl fencing around the garage. Both sides of the panels were cleaned with our low-pressure system to strip away green algae and the gray environmental film that dulls the property perimeter. Cleaning both faces improves curb appeal and prevents the film from accelerating material breakdown.

This project provided a total aesthetic and functional reset for the home. By combining soft wash and surface cleaning techniques, Above & Beyond Softwash returned the pavers, composite deck, and fence to their original condition while applying post-treatments that protect against future decay. Homeowners get improved safety, cleaner surfaces that are easier to maintain, and the peace of mind that the organic growth was treated at the root.

Pro tip, Middletown homeowners often see lichen or moss on their pavers and think it is only cosmetic. In reality, lichen produces acids that eat into stone, causing pitting and scarring that collects dirt faster and becomes impossible to keep clean. A pro-grade soft wash and surface clean is a fraction of the cost of replacing a ruined pool deck or walkway. If you see white or green crusty spots, they are actively damaging your masonry, so call us at (732) 272-6013 for your free quote. We kill the growth at the root before the stone requires total replacement. We are happy to help and look foward to your call.
