What to do about pesky aphids?

Good evening.
My apple espaliers have got aphids and they’re really mucking up the new growth.
There are a few ladybirds on the trees which I guess are taking a few of them out but there are lots more ants taking care of them!
what’s the best thing to do? I’m not going to use chemicals, so I’m thinking of spraying the leaves with the hose to wash them off or just cutting off the most affected leaves. Are there any better solutions that are eco friendly?
Thanks, Joe
