A Hillside Town's Checklist
Cliffside Park does everything on a slope. Homes step down the Palisades with retaining walls between them, outdoor stairs connect split level yards, and driveways run steep. Every one of those concrete surfaces grows algae in the shade and turns slippery, which makes cleaning here as much about safety as looks. The housing stock itself is classic inner Bergen: brick and vinyl two families built close, with the shaded side wall problem that comes with tight lots.
We wash the houses soft, clean the flatwork even, and bring the retaining walls back from green to their actual color, which most owners have not seen in years.
