How we handle driveway pressure washing
We clean concrete driveways with a commercial surface cleaner, a spinning disc that holds the water jets at a consistent height. Because the distance stays the same, the whole slab gets the same pressure, without the zebra stripes you can get from a handheld wand.
Before cleaning, we pre-treat organic growth where needed so we don't have to rely on extra pressure alone. After cleaning, we rinse the edges, expansion joints and nearby walkways so dirt doesn't wash back onto the clean concrete.

Honest limitations
Pressure washing removes surface dirt and organic growth very well. Deep oil stains, rust from irrigation water and old paint may lighten but may not disappear completely. We'll tell you what to realistically expect before we start.
What to expect
- 1We confirm the size and condition of the driveway, usually from photos or a quick visit.

- 3We clean the whole surface evenly with a surface cleaner.

Local considerations in Palm Beach County
South Florida's rainy season, irrigation overspray and shade from tropical trees keep concrete damp for long periods, which is ideal for black mildew. Many homeowners in West Palm Beach find that cleaning once or twice a year keeps buildup under control.
Frequently asked questions
How long does driveway pressure washing take?
Most residential driveways take one to three hours depending on size, condition and how much pre-treatment is needed.
Will pressure washing damage my concrete?
Cured concrete in good condition handles a properly adjusted surface cleaner well. We avoid concentrating high pressure in one spot, which is what causes etching.
Do I need to be home?
No. As long as we can reach an outdoor water spigot and the driveway is clear of vehicles, we can complete the work while you're away.
