Driveway and sidewalk cleaning in College Station, TX

Concrete is porous. Over time it soaks up dirt, tire marks, rust, oil drips, and the algae and mildew that thrive in Brazos Valley humidity. Shaded driveways and sidewalks along the north side of a house often turn green or black and get slippery after rain. A proper cleaning removes that buildup from inside the surface, not just from the top.

Concrete driveways and sidewalks

Concrete is where high pressure belongs. We use a commercial surface cleaner, a spinning bar under a hood, to clean flat concrete evenly. It avoids the striped, "zebra" look you get from a handheld wand and keeps water from spraying onto your car, house, or neighbors. Edges, steps, and curbs get detailed by hand.

Algae, mildew, and organic growth

Pressure alone does not kill algae; it only knocks the top layer off. Every job starts with a chemical pre-treatment that breaks down deep-seated organic growth so it rinses out of the concrete. After the wash we apply a post-treatment that helps slow regrowth, so your driveway stays clean longer.

Oil stains and rust

Oil, grease, and rust need a different approach than dirt. We pre-treat these spots with a degreaser or rust remover before washing. Fresh stains often come out completely. Old stains that have soaked deep into the concrete usually fade a lot but may not disappear entirely. We will tell you up front what to expect.

Pavers and pool decks

Pavers and stamped or stained concrete are cleaned at adjusted pressure so we do not wash out joint sand or damage sealers. Pool decks get the same pre-treat and rinse process to remove grime and slippery growth.
