I am interested in using high-pressure air to clean tree debris from between cedar shakes. This process seems to be much more efficient and easier process to accomplish as opposed to a hand-held blower. Is there anyone out there familiar with this process ? What type of compressor hose and wand is being used ? Thanks for your reply.

What woody said. I have seen them do that with a 1 1/4 inch pipe with the end flattened to concentrate the air. It will work, but the debris will get thick and slow it down. You still have to shovel or sweep ahead of the air.

You'll need a very big compressor. The guys that do it around here have tow-behind compressors.
