Those brown silhouettes of leaves on your patio after a rainy week are tannin stains, and they can outlast the leaves by months.
When wet leaves from oaks and maples sit on concrete, pavers, or stone, natural tannins leach out and soak into porous surfaces. Franklin and Brentwood's tree-lined neighborhoods make these marks especially common from October through December.
Blasting them with high pressure can etch concrete without fully removing the stain. Our detailing approach pairs the right cleaning solution with controlled pressure to lift tannins and restore an even, uniform surface. Pavers and natural stone receive gentler treatment suited to their finish, so joints and textures stay intact.
Clearing leaves regularly helps prevent new stains, and a fall detail before holiday guests arrive leaves walkways and entries looking their best all season.
