Leaf Stain Removal

What This Service Involves

Wet leaves piling up on concrete, pavers, and decks bleed tannins that soak in and leave brown blotches long after the leaves are gone. With so many trees across the region, these organic stains are a familiar autumn and winter problem here. We apply cleaners that break down tannin staining and lift it from porous surfaces without harsh scouring. The hardscape returns to an even tone, free of the shadow marks that fallen leaves leave behind.
