Driveway cleaning

What driveways with us looks like

A long driveway on a sloping block gets everything. Tyre marks, oil drips, tannin from the trees above it, black algae in the shaded half and moss in the joints. On steep driveways that green film is also a slipping risk.

We clean the whole surface with a rotary surface cleaner, which spins two jets under a hood a few centimetres off the ground. It gives an even result with no stripes and keeps spray off your car and your walls. Edges, steps and gutters are finished by hand.

Why it matters

What you get

Even, stripe-free finish

A surface cleaner covers the area in overlapping passes, so you don't get the light and dark bands a hand wand leaves.

Stains treated separately

Oil, rust, tyre marks and leaf tannin each need their own treatment. We pre-treat them before the wash.

Safer on steep drives

Removing algae and moss film takes away the slippery layer that makes wet driveways dangerous.

Ready to seal

If you're sealing afterwards, the driveway is left clean and dry enough for the sealer to bond properly.

Our method

How we do it

Garden path and house exterior after a wash
Google review, Luke
Great work, fair pricing, and excellent communication.

Step 03 of 04

Surface clean

The rotary surface cleaner goes over every square metre in overlapping passes.

Washing a painted boundary wall
Google review, Karen
Excellent service! Nathan is punctual and nothing is a problem.

Step 04 of 04

Detail and rinse

Steps, edges and drains are finished by hand, then the whole driveway is rinsed clean.

Exposed aggregate needs a lighter touch

Exposed aggregate looks tough but the stones are only held by the cement around them. Too much pressure at the wrong angle undercuts that cement and the pebbles start coming loose. We keep the surface cleaner at a height and pressure that cleans the matrix without eroding it.

What about oil stains?

Fresh oil comes out well. Oil that has been there for years has soaked deep into the concrete and will usually lighten a lot but may leave a shadow. We'll tell you honestly at the quote what to expect for each stain. Oil stain removal also has its own page if that's all you need.

Nathan just completed a pressure wash of our travertine pavers under our alfresco area, around the pool and the sundeck. What an absolutely fantastic job. Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy. We will certainly be calling him back on a regular basis and can highly recommend him.

Nathan always does such an excellent job of cleaning our outdoor brick, timber and tile stairs and paths. He is very reasonably priced and provides excellent service and honest advice. I have used him several times before and have referred him to all of my friends!

Nathan did an incredible job at my home cleaning all my outdoor paving areas. He even washed some extra areas of my house free of charge and his price was very reasonable. He's a lovely fella and was prompt, friendly and professional. I highly recommend Nathan's services.

Still have a question?

Talk to Nathan directly. He quotes and attends every job himself.

Call 0416 007 745
How long until I can drive on it again?

Straight after we finish. A cleaned driveway only needs to dry, which takes an hour or two in the sun. If it's being sealed, allow at least 24 hours before driving on it.

Will cleaning loosen my pavers?

Joint sand can wash out of older paving. We use a lower pressure along the joints, and re-sanding can be added to the job if they need it.

Can you remove oil stains completely?

Fresh stains usually, old stains not always. We pre-treat every stain and give you a realistic expectation at the quote.

Do you clean the footpath and kerb too?

We clean your side of the boundary. Council footpaths need the council's consent, so we'll let you know if your street allows it.

Should I seal my driveway after cleaning?

Sealing helps on porous surfaces like coloured concrete, pavers and sandstone. It slows staining and makes the next clean easier.

How much water do you use?

A surface cleaner uses far less water than a garden hose run for the same time. We bring our own pump and run off your tap.
