Concrete and pavers in Arizona collect dust, oil and tire marks, and irrigation leaves white mineral deposits along the edges. Strong sun also wears out sealers quickly, so pavers here often need resealing more often.
Some cities in Arizona limit outdoor water use, including washing hard surfaces with a hose, especially during drought declarations. Pressure washers use far less water than an open garden hose, but rules vary, so it's worth checking your city's current restrictions. Wash water should also be kept out of storm drains.
