Driveway & Concrete Cleaning
Georgia red clay does not sit on concrete — it gets into it. Clay particles lodge in the pores of the slab, which is why a cold-water rinse just spreads the color around and why so many homeowners are told the stains are permanent. They usually aren't.
Everything in scope
- Driveway, apron and sidewalk sections
- Surface-cleaner passes for an even finish — no zebra striping from wand marks
- Edge and crack detailing by hand where the machine can't reach
- Pre-treatment for red clay, organic growth and oil spotting
- Post-treatment to slow regrowth in shaded sections
- Garage apron and entry walkway included
If you've seen a driveway with visible curved streaks after cleaning, that's wand marking — someone cleaned a large flat surface with a handheld nozzle. It's faster for the operator and permanent-looking for you, because the cleaned arcs sit lighter than everything around them. Surface cleaners exist specifically to prevent it.
The process
Identify what the staining actually is
Red clay, organic growth, rust, oil, and tire marking all respond to different things. Treating them all the same is why results come out patchy.
Pre-treat and dwell
Organic growth gets a kill treatment. Clay and mineral staining get a different pre-treatment. Both need dwell time — this is the step budget operators skip.
Surface-clean in overlapping passes
A rotating surface cleaner delivers uniform pressure across the whole slab. This is what produces an even result instead of visible wand arcs.
Detail edges, then post-treat
Hand-detail the perimeter, expansion joints and any spot the machine couldn't sit flat on. A post-treatment on shaded sections slows the return of growth.
Bundle and save the trip charge
Most of our work goes out as a package, because setting up once and cleaning four surfaces costs less than four separate visits.
Straight answers
Can Georgia red clay stains actually be removed?
In most cases yes. Clay lodges in the pores of the concrete, so it needs pre-treatment and hot water to release rather than force. This is the single most common thing customers tell us another company couldn't get out.
Will pressure washing damage my concrete?
Properly done, no. Concrete tolerates high pressure well. Damage happens from holding a narrow nozzle too close for too long, which etches the surface. A surface cleaner at correct distance and pressure doesn't.
Do you clean pavers and stamped concrete?
Yes, at reduced pressure. Pavers need care around joint sand, and stamped or stained concrete needs pressure kept low enough to protect the sealer and color. Both are quoted with the surface identified up front.
What does driveway cleaning cost?
$99 to $299 depending on square footage and staining severity. A standard two-car driveway sits near the low end; long or heavily stained drives with extensive walkway sections run higher.
