Pressure Washing in Gentilly, New Orleans
Gentilly neighborhoods — from Gentilly Terrace to Gentilly Woods and over toward Dillard University — have a mix of mid-century brick homes, concrete block construction, and mature tree canopies that keep surfaces damp and shaded much of the year. That's a recipe for stubborn mold, algae, and staining that builds up faster than most homeowners realize. Louisiana's Own Landscaping Company works in Gentilly and knows what these properties need.

Pressure Washing for Gentilly
Pressure washing uses concentrated water pressure to remove the biological and environmental buildup that accumulates on exterior surfaces over time — driveways, sidewalks, patios, brick exteriors, fences, and more. In Gentilly, where many homes sit under large oaks and pecans, tannin staining from leaves and bark is a persistent problem on concrete and brick. Combined with New Orleans' year-round humidity, surfaces here develop layered grime that regular cleaning won't address. Professional pressure washing strips all of that back, restoring the original surface color and texture, removing slip hazards, and making the property look genuinely maintained.
- Removes tannin staining from oak and pecan leaf debris — a specific and persistent problem in Gentilly's tree-heavy streets
- Cleans brick exteriors, concrete driveways, block walls, and wood fences common to mid-century Gentilly construction
- Pre-treatment for mildew and biological growth before pressure washing for deeper, longer-lasting results
- Pressure calibrated to surface age and material — older brick and concrete get lower PSI to avoid damage
- Addresses shaded, chronically damp areas under carports, overhangs, and tree canopies where growth is worst
- Ideal prep work before exterior painting, sealing, or any renovation project requiring a clean surface

FAQ
Pressure Washing in Gentilly — common questions
Why does my Gentilly driveway get so stained compared to other areas?
The combination of large oak and pecan trees dropping tannin-rich debris, plus the consistent humidity and shade in many Gentilly yards, creates faster and darker staining than you'd see in sunnier, more exposed locations. Tannins from leaves and bark leach into concrete and brick and bond to the surface — pressure washing with the right pre-treatment is the most effective way to remove it.
Is pressure washing safe for the older brick homes in Gentilly?
Yes, when the pressure is set correctly. Older brick is more porous and can be damaged by excessive PSI, so we dial it back and work carefully on historic or aged masonry. We assess the brick condition before we start and adjust our approach accordingly.
How long will the results last after a pressure wash?
In Gentilly's shaded, humid environment, you can realistically expect clean surfaces to stay looking good for six months to a year before significant regrowth appears. Applying a concrete or masonry sealer after washing can extend that window. We can advise on sealing options when we're on-site.
Can you clean the side of my house, not just the driveway?
Absolutely. Brick and block exterior walls, painted siding, and stucco are all surfaces we clean. We adjust the technique and pressure based on the material so the surface gets clean without any stripping or damage.
What time of year is best to pressure wash in Gentilly?
Late winter or early spring — after the worst of the leaf drop and before the peak humidity of summer — is a good window. That said, pressure washing is effective year-round in New Orleans. If your surfaces need it, there's no reason to wait for a specific season.
