Yes — and it is often the moment a cleared garden stops looking like a building site and starts looking like a garden.
Yes, and it is usually the best value stage of the whole project. Hard surfaces buried under years of growth are frequently intact underneath, and cleaning them recovers usable garden for a fraction of what replacing them would cost.
Do it once the messy work is finished, not immediately after the clearance.
| Stage | Position of washing |
|---|---|
| Clearance | Before |
| Tree and hedge work | Before |
| Stump grinding | Before |
| Hard landscaping repairs | Before |
| Fencing | Before |
| Planting and soil work | Before |
| Power washing | Here — after the mess-making |
| Turf | After, normally |
Washing immediately after the clearance and then doing the fencing means paying twice. The exception is washing early purely to inspect a surface, when you need to know its condition before deciding whether to keep it.

Yes, and it is usually the best value stage of the project. Surfaces buried under growth are often intact underneath, and cleaning recovers usable garden cheaply.
After the messy stages — clearance, tree work, stumps, repairs, fencing and planting — but before turf where the patio can be reached without crossing new grass.
Only to inspect it. If you are deciding whether to keep or replace a surface, wash it early to find out, then wash again at the end.
More often than people expect. The growth protects as much as it damages, though cleaning does reveal any cracks and loose slabs that were hidden.
No. Washing reveals existing damage rather than causing it — the growth was hiding the condition it was already in.
Excellent on algae, moss, black spot and ingrained soil. Colour often comes back several shades lighter.
Cut back whatever was shading it, clear the gutters above it, and sweep leaf litter off each autumn.
On block paving, yes — re-sanding. On mortared patios, repointing where joints have failed.
