Path swept clean of leaves, moss, algae and general debris. Drains cleared, corners sorted, all waste removed - entrance and pathways left looking cared-for and safe to walk on.
### When Your Front Path Lets The Side Down
The house looks great. Garden's tidy. But **your front path is covered in leaves, greening up with moss, and generally looking neglected**. It's the first thing people see when they visit, and right now it's not saying "well-maintained property."
Half an hour with a decent brush sorts it.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Sweeping paths regularly (monthly in autumn/winter) prevents moss and algae building up. Much easier than scrubbing off thick growth later.

Good to Know
> 🍂 **Autumn is brutal:** If you've got big trees, autumn leaf fall is relentless. Weekly sweeping in October/November keeps on top of it. Or one big clear in December once leaves have finished falling. **Moss prevention:** After sweeping clean, consider moss killer treatment. Stops it coming back quite as fast. Or just accept you'll be sweeping monthly - it's Devon, moss is inevitable. **Gravel paths:** These need gentle sweeping - too vigorous and you're just redistributing the gravel. Leaf blower works better for gravel paths in autumn. **Old paths:** Victorian and Georgian properties often have original stone paths. These benefit from regular gentle sweeping rather than occasional aggressive cleaning. Keeps them looking lovely without damage. **Combined jobs:** If I'm edging paths, sweeping patios, or doing other garden maintenance, adding path sweeping saves money - I'm already there with the tools.
Frequently Asked Questions about Path sweeping in Exmouth
Is path sweeping just brushing leaves off or more thorough?
More thorough. I'll sweep all the loose debris, brush off moss and algae, clear drain gullies, and get into corners where stuff accumulates. Basically a proper clean, not just a quick once-over.
Can you sweep gravel paths as well as paved ones?
Yes, but it's a different approach - gentle sweeping to remove leaves without losing the gravel. For gravel paths covered in weeds, that's more of a weeding job than sweeping.
Do you take the leaves and debris away?
Yes - all bagged up and removed. Or if you want them for composting, I can tip them in your compost heap or green bin.
How often do paths need sweeping?
Depends on your trees and location. Under big deciduous trees, might need doing weekly in autumn. Otherwise, monthly in autumn/winter and every few months in spring/summer keeps on top of it.
Will sweeping damage old stone paths?
Not if done properly. Stiff brush for tough surfaces, softer brush for delicate old stone. No power washing or aggressive scrubbing that could damage old paths - just thorough hand sweeping.
