Will do - that's the very first thing I'll do! Any tips? I was was thinking of pressure washing it until someone on here said not to. Based on that, I think my plan is to just use a broom..

Are they pine needles? If they're the long ones, honestly the fastest way to clear them is by hand, they bunch together and hold in big clumps. Just wear thick work gloves so you aren't endlessly stabbed. Raking or sweeping will just pile them higher and tighter.

You can use a leaf blower or broom for the base layer, then soapy water and a bucket with a sponge/brush to get what is caked on.
