It is the cheapest thing on any presentation list and it changes the first photograph. That combination is hard to beat.
Yes, and disproportionately. The drive and the front path are the first things anyone sees, they are usually in the first photograph, and cleaning costs a fraction of anything else that changes a first impression.
It works for selling, for letting, and for simply arriving home to a house that looks cared for.
| What they see | What they conclude |
|---|---|
| Green, slippery drive | Nothing has been maintained |
| Weeds through the joints | Years of neglect |
| Sunken or rocking blocks | A job they will inherit |
| Oil staining | Wondering what else is under the surface |
| Blackened front path | The whole house feels tired |
| Clean, sharp, re-sanded | Cared for |
| Tidy edges and borders | Attention to detail throughout |

Between tenancies is the practical moment. Access is unrestricted, nobody's belongings are in the way, and the condition you hand over is the standard you can hold someone to.

Yes. Access is unrestricted, it photographs well, and the condition you hand over is the standard you can hold a tenant to.
New patios, extensive planting and anything to personal taste. The buyer either does not value it or intends to change it.
Clean it anyway so everyone knows what it is, and consider getting a repair quote to show. Buyers price an unknown far worse than a known cost.
Yes. One clean area beside two green ones looks worse than leaving them all, and doing them together costs less than separate visits.
