Summer kicks off with the sparkle and crackle of fireworks accompanied by the smell of food on the grill as it floats over fences to entice our taste 
buds. Porches are lined with festive decorations and the sounds of laughter echo, because it is the start of the season for family fun. Not to mention 
cool evening walks through the neighborhood that are met with a friendly wave from the front porch. 

 It is also time to spruce up and manicure our grass and flower beds to ensure our homes are looking their best. That’s where an exterior refresh 
can go a long way to enhancing the curb appeal of your beautiful front yard.

 You might’ve heard the terms “pressure washing” and “power washing” tossed back and forth like a game of hot potato, but did you know there 
is a difference. So, which is best for your home’s surface? 

 

 Both methods use high-pressure water to clean surfaces like driveways, patios, fences, and walls but power washing heats the water. The hot 
water makes it extra effective at breaking down oil, grease, and grime. Pressure washing sticks to cold water under pressure which is perfect for regular 
maintenance. There are also differences with the nozzles that are used as well as the force behind the water. For small jobs a personal machine from 
your local hardware store might just do the trick. However, when you need a heavy-duty machine speak with a trusted professional. Together you can 
come up with a plan for your home, the surface you need cleaned, and the stains you wish to wash away without harm to the area. 

 Whether you are getting ready for summer visits, want to boost your curb appeal, or protect the surfaces you’ve invested in, either method can 
blast away built-up grime just in time for summer fun in the sun.
