The work

How we do it

Done right

A surface cleaner in overlapping passes on a commercial pressure washer, a pre-treatment on the green and black growth, a degreaser on oil, a dedicated remover on rust, then a full rinse.

The surface cleaner is a spinning bar under a hood. It keeps the nozzles a fixed height off the concrete, so every square foot gets the same pressure and the same dwell. A bare wand held by hand does not do that, which is why wand-only jobs come out with arcs and zebra stripes you can see from the street.

Before the machine touches the concrete the black and green growth gets a pre-treatment so it releases instead of being ground into the surface. Oil gets a degreaser and rust gets its own remover, because pressure does nothing to either. Edges, steps and expansion joints get wand work at the end, then everything gets a rinse so dirty water is not left to dry in the low spots.

01

Walk the driveway

We look at the concrete or pavers, note oil, rust, tire marks, loose aggregate and cracks, and tell you what will and will not come out.

02

Pre-treat

Organic growth gets a cleaning solution and a few minutes of dwell. Oil gets a degreaser. Rust gets its own remover.

03

Surface clean

Overlapping passes with the surface cleaner, then wand work at the edges, the apron and the joints.

04

Rinse and check

Full rinse so nothing dries in the low spots, then a walk-through with you before the truck leaves.

What you get

The details

What’s included

Every job
  • The full driveway, apron and the strip to the street
  • Walkway to the front door where it joins the drive
  • Pre-treatment on algae and mildew before the wash
  • Degreaser on oil drips and tire marks
  • Rust treatment where sprinklers or furniture have stained it
  • Final rinse of the surface and the plants either side

Signs it’s time

  • Green at the edges and black in the aggregate where the tree shades it
  • A dark drip patch where the car parks every night
  • Orange arcs where the sprinkler head hits the concrete
  • Tire marks that stay after a hose-down

The driveway gets the pressure. The house never does.

Straight talk

No surprises

We will not blast your house

If someone offers to pressure wash your stucco, your painted trim or your roof, walk away. High pressure drives water behind stucco, lifts paint and strips shingle granules. We pressure wash hard flat surfaces and soft wash everything else. And we will not promise a stain is gone until we have seen it. Deep-set oil and old rust sometimes lighten instead of disappearing. We tell you that before we start, not after.

What moves the quote

Square footage

A single-car strip in Liberty City and a three-car drive with a turnaround in Miami Shores are different jobs. Total surface area is the first thing we measure.

How much is on it

Light dust and a year of mildew clean fast. A driveway that has not been touched in 5 years, with black growth in the aggregate, takes more dwell time and more passes.

Oil, rust and stains

Each one needs its own product and its own time. A drip patch from a parked car and rust arcs from a sprinkler head are the two most common extras.

Surface type

Broom-finish concrete is the fastest. Exposed aggregate, pavers, old Chicago brick and coral stone need lower pressure and more care on the same square footage.

Access and water

A working spigot near the driveway and the cars moved off it keep the job moving. Long hose runs and a gate that has to be opened for the truck add time.

Which method

Pressure wash or soft wash

What goes which way

Hard surfaces take full pressure. Painted, coated, screened and porous ones need a soft wash at low pressure or they get damaged. Here is how we split it, and if you are not sure which side your surface is on, ask before we start and we will tell you straight.

Full pressure

Hard, flat, mineral surfaces that can take a surface cleaner at full pressure.

  • Concrete driveways and aprons
  • Sidewalks, walkways and steps
  • Pavers and Chicago brick, at lower pressure
  • Pool decks and patios
  • Bare concrete porch slabs
Soft wash, low pressure

Anything painted, coated, screened or porous. The cleaning mix does the work at garden-hose pressure.

  • Roofs: barrel tile, flat tile, shingle, metal
  • Stucco and painted block
  • Painted trim and porch slabs
  • Screens and pool cages
  • Wood fences and decks

Driveway pressure washing in detail

Why the surface cleaner matters

A surface cleaner is a round hood with a spinning bar and two or more nozzles underneath. It rides on the concrete, so the nozzle height never changes and every pass hits the surface the same way. That is what gives you a uniform finish instead of the arcs and stripes you get from a wand. It also keeps overspray down, which matters on a Miami lot where the neighbour's car is six feet from your driveway. We still use the wand, but for the edges, the apron and the expansion joints where the hood does not reach.

Oil, rust and iguanas: three stains, three fixes

Pressure does not remove a stain. It removes what is sitting on top of the concrete. Oil has soaked in, so it gets a degreaser and time to work before the surface cleaner goes over it. Rust from a sprinkler head or a patio chair is a chemical stain and gets a rust remover, never more pressure, which spreads it. Iguana droppings and mango drop are organic and lift with the same pre-treatment as the algae. Each one is its own step, and each one is in the quote when we see it.

Pavers, Chicago brick and the old Miami driveway

A lot of older Miami homes have paver drives, salvaged Chicago brick or coral stone walks, and none of them want full pressure. The joints are sand, the faces are soft, and a wand at close range pits the surface and blows the sand out. We drop the pressure, lean on the pre-treatment, keep the surface cleaner moving and rinse gently so the joints stay full. If the sand is already gone we say so, because a wash will not put it back.

FAQ

Before you call

Driveway pressure washing questions

If yours is not here, call or text 786-985-1684 and ask.

Will pressure washing damage my driveway?

Not when it is done with a surface cleaner at the right pressure and height. Damage happens when someone holds a bare wand too close and etches lines into the concrete. If your driveway is old or flaking, text a photo to 786-985-1684 and we will tell you what is safe.

Can you get the oil stain out?

Usually, yes. Fresh drips lift with a degreaser and dwell time. Oil that has soaked into the concrete for years lightens a lot but can leave a shadow. Send a photo to 786-985-1684 and we will be honest about it before we quote.

Do you pressure wash pavers?

Yes, at lower pressure so the joint sand stays put and the surface does not pit. If the joints are already washed out, we tell you before we start. Ask when you text 786-985-1684 and we will quote the pavers with the rest.

How often should a Miami driveway be washed?

Most driveways here want it once a year, sooner if they sit under a tree or get hit by the sprinklers. If you can see green at the edges or black in the aggregate, it is time. Text 786-985-1684 and we will come look.

Do I need to be home?

No, as long as the outside spigot works and the cars are off the driveway. Text 786-985-1684 the morning of if anything changes.
