Yes, and on a cleared garden it is often the best-value stage of the whole project.
Yes, and it usually should be. 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.
Timing matters: after the messy work rather than immediately after the clearance, unless you are washing early specifically to inspect a surface.
An established plot of any size usually has more hard surface than the current owner is aware of — a path to a shed nobody uses, steps between levels, a terrace at the far end, edging along borders that vanished years ago. Clearing reveals them; cleaning tells you whether they are worth keeping. On a large garden that can amount to a significant area of usable surface recovered for the price of a wash.
| 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 |

Yes, and it usually should be. Surfaces buried under growth are often intact underneath, and cleaning recovers usable garden cheaply.
Usually. An established plot often has more hard surface than the owner realises — paths, steps, terraces and edging that vanished years ago.
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. 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 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.
One set-up covers every surface, the crew already knows the site, waste is handled together, and the overhanging growth gets cut back in the same visit.
Cut back whatever was shading it, clear the gutters above it, and sweep leaf litter off each autumn.
