Pressure Washing — Burnaby, BC
Burnaby's dense tree canopy — especially in Deer Lake, Edmonds, and the areas backing onto Central Park — creates some of the heaviest moss and organic staining in the Lower Mainland. Sap from cedar and fir trees drips onto driveways and leaves permanent dark spots if not cleaned regularly. Leaf litter from deciduous trees in Burnaby Heights and Willingdon Heights decomposes on patios and embeds tannin stains into concrete. Apartment and townhouse complexes near Metrotown and Brentwood accumulate years of grime on common-area walkways and parking structures. Burnaby properties need pressure washing that addresses not just surface dirt but the tree-specific biological debris that dominates this city's outdoor surfaces.
Heavy conifer canopy in Deer Lake and Edmonds deposits sap and needles on driveways and patios — sap requires degreaser pre-treatment before pressure washing.
Deciduous tree debris in Burnaby Heights and Willingdon Heights leaves tannin stains on concrete and stone surfaces that resist standard washing and need specialized treatment.
Shaded north-facing surfaces across Burnaby develop the thickest moss growth — some patios accumulate a solid mat of moss that needs removal before washing.
Strata and townhouse complexes in Metrotown and Brentwood need coordinated multi-unit washing with careful scheduling around residents.
Burnaby's tree debris demands a pre-treatment workflow. Sap gets a degreaser application and dwell time. Tannin stains get an acid-based treatment that lifts the discolouration without etching the concrete. Heavy moss mats are scraped before washing so the pressure washer can reach the actual surface underneath. We use rotary surface cleaners for driveways and flatwork, soft wash for siding and decks, and targeted spot treatment for stubborn stains. For strata complexes, we schedule unit-by-unit to minimize resident disruption and maintain access to common areas throughout the job.
Pressure washing in Burnaby typically ranges from $250 to $1,100 per visit. Driveway washing starts at $250 to $400. Full property packages run $550 to $1,100. Strata common-area washing is priced per square foot and varies by complex size. Properties near Deer Lake and Central Park with heavy tree cover may require additional pre-treatment, adding 10 to 15 percent to standard pricing.

Pressure Washing across every neighbourhood in Burnaby.
Tree sap on driveways and patios requires a degreaser pre-treatment before pressure washing. We apply a commercial-grade degreaser to sap spots, let it emulsify the resin for 15 to 20 minutes, then wash with a rotary surface cleaner. Fresh sap removes almost completely. Older sap stains that have oxidized may leave a faint shadow but improve dramatically. For Burnaby properties with ongoing sap issues, we recommend quarterly spot treatment.
Yes — we handle strata and multi-unit pressure washing across Burnaby, including Metrotown and Brentwood complexes. We coordinate with the strata council or property manager to schedule around residents, maintain access to exits and parking, and complete sections efficiently. We carry commercial-grade equipment that handles the larger footprints of common-area walkways, parking structures, and shared patios.
Properties under heavy tree canopy in Deer Lake, Edmonds, and near Central Park should plan for annual pressure washing at minimum — ideally in late winter or early spring when moss is easiest to remove. Driveways under sap-producing trees benefit from a mid-year spot wash as well. Without annual washing, biological growth accumulates year over year and becomes progressively harder (and more expensive) to remove.
